Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum isn't one to tempt fate, but when asked recently whether the Reds could match the 'Invincibles' of Arsene Wenger's Arsenal in 2004, he was diplomatic.

'It is possible,' said the Dutchman during an interview with the Daily Mirror.

'Nobody knows how it’s going to be. We have had some luck up to now, but we have also put a lot of hard work in,' Wijnaldum added.

'We don’t think about the fact that Arsenal did not lose in that season. We just try to give everything in every game.'

In 2004 the Gunners won the league at a canter under Wenger, going through the entirety of the campaign without a single defeat.

A total of 12 draws along the way however did see the north London club drop points, and finish the campaign with a tally of 90.

Jurgen Klopp's men will meet a United side at Old Trafford who have made their worst start to a Premier League season for 30 years.

Should Wijnaldum and Co. take all three points, they will take eclipse the record set by City under Pep Guardiola between August and December 2017.

Liverpool have won their last 17 league games to set a club record and have lost just one of their last 47 top-flight fixtures.
