Thierry Henry's Liverpool invincibles claim that will worry Arsenal fans

Thierry Henry believes that Liverpool will not only win the Premier League title this season - but they can also match the feat achieved by his old side Arsenal and go the campaign unbeaten.

Jurgen Klopp’s side secured their 17th league win of the season against Leicester on Thursday night, a victory that moves them 13 points clear in the Premier League title race.

The only time the Reds have dropped points in England’s top-flight this season was against Manchester United back in November, with the Reds now firmly on their way to ending their 30-year wait for a league title.

And Henry, who was part of the Arsenal side that went unbeaten during the 2003/04 Premier League season, believes Klopp’s side are more than capable of emulating his former club.

"It's for me a statement tonight,” the former French international told Amazon Prime. “If they come here and win it, and win it well, it will be a matter of when, not if, they are going to win it [the Premier League].

"I think they're going to win it.

"And I'm going to push it further, not because we've done it with Arsenal but because it's a matter for me if they're going to stay unbeaten.

"I think that team can stay unbeaten, and it will be who's going to beat them first, because I think they will win the league.

"It's not a big statement because they're above everybody this year, and they can make a statement tonight.

"With the fixtures that they have at the minute, being able to come here and create that gap, that can be almost over."
