Paul Merson reckons there is "not a chance" of Liverpool matching Arsenal's Invincibles by going through the entire Premier League season unbeaten.
The Reds have won their last 17 games in the top flight, with a last-gasp James Milner penalty snatching a 2-1 win at Anfield on Saturday.
Jurgen Klopp's side are already eight points clear at the top of the table and showing no signs of slowing up after a perfect start to the campaign.
They are now just one game shy of matching Manchester City's record 18 straight Premier League wins - but Merson says matching Arsenal's achievement of going a whole season unbeaten is near-impossible.
“ Liverpool won't go unbeaten, not a chance. What Arsenal did all those years ago, that's some going. What Liverpool are doing, winning all these games on the trot, though, is ridiculous,” the former Gunners ace told Sky Sports.
“They weren't great the other day. When Leicester got to 1-1, they looked like the team that might nick it, even though Liverpool didn't deserve to lose.
“For 70-odd minutes they were the better team, but they just kept on going and you have to get some breaks every now and again."
Merson went on to hail Saturday's dramatic winner as a key moment in the title race which should not be forgotten at the end of the season.
He added: “No-one is going to look back on October 5 and remember the penalty, but that spot-kick could've been a massive, massive goal.
“When you win league titles, everybody forgets about what happens in October and November.
“Everybody just thinks about what happened in April or May, but the penalty could be massive in the context of the title race.”
