For two seasons now Liverpool have been nigh on impeccable.
The Reds only missed out on the Premier League title last season by one point, finishing second behind Manchester City with a whopping 97 points - an incredible points tally for the runners-up spot.
And they continued that form this season, except they steamrollered their way to the title this time, with City unable to keep up.
With three games to go, the Reds have 93 points and are well set to beat City's record points total of 100.
Standing in their way in the first of their final three games are Arsenal on Wednesday night.
Fresh off the back of defeat to fierce rivals Tottenham in the north London Derby, head coach Mikel Arteta will be hoping for a response.
But with Liverpool their opponents, it has given Arteta the opportunity to look at what his counterpart has done, the time and resources he has been given to build such an impressive team at Anfield.
And rather than being jealous, Arteta is keen for the Gunners to learn from what Liverpool have done and take a simmilar path.
Arteta is, of course, making his way in the management game - Arsenal is his first big job, having left Manchester City as Pep Guardiola's number two to arrive in north London.
Speaking during his pre-match press conference, Arteta made a pointed remark about how Liverpool had got to where they are now and called upon the Arsenal hierarchy to follow suit.
He said: “The market Liverpool had in the previous seasons, the goals they were conceding and how they were conceding those goals, some [were] individual errors, set pieces as well, for example. The moment they touched the spine of the team, that changed dramatically.
"Same team, same players, same amount of arrivals in the final third, same recovery time after losing possession, but completely different numbers. So, that’s a quick fix.
"You get one of the best defenders in the world with one of the best goalkeepers in the world and one of the best holding midfielders in the world and you change pretty quickly. You can see that at City when [Aymeric] Laporte came in.
“That’s the way I believe a team has to be built."
Liverpool splashed out a whopping £185million on Alisson Becker, Virgil van Dijk and Fabinho combined in the summer of 2018 - the three players Arteta was referencing that came in to change the complexion of Jurgen Klopp's squad.
The coronavirus pandemic is likely to hinder Arsenal's spending power, which has not exactly been strong in recent seasons anyway, but Arteta is under no illusions over what needs to be done to transform the Gunners into competing for the Europa League spots and a place at Europe's top table once more.
