Arsenal’s Matteo Guendouzi lays down warning to Liverpool

Matteo Guendouzi says Arsenal are a side who can beat anyone this season as they prepare to face Liverpool at Anfield.

Arsenal have strengthened their squad significantly this summer with the arrivals of David Luiz, Nicolas Pepe, Dani Ceballos and Kieran Tierney and Guendouzi believes they are a much stronger outfit.

The last time the two sides met in December a Roberto Firmino hat-trick saw Liverpool win 5-1 to go nine points clear at the top of the Premier League, but Guendouzi, who Unai Emery says is an exciting prospect, believes it will be a different story on Saturday.

“Last year was not our finest hour but it’s very different to last season, it’s a new game and new team so I don’t see why it would be the same result,” Guendouzi told Sky Sports.

“We’ve had a much better start as well – last year we started with two losses but this year we are already six points up.

“We have a better team overall and we’re feeling good about ourselves, we have a good team and we believe in ourselves.

“I know we can do really well, we are going there to win and I believe we can beat any Premier League side.”

Speaking about the new recruits Guendouzi added: “David Luiz brings a lot of experience and is a very comprehensive defender,” Guendouzi said.

“Ceballos is a very technical player and played excellently against Burnley, while Pepe is a player I know well from France.

“I think all three bring a lot of strength and positive aspects to the team.”
