Jens Lehmann believes Liverpool have the quality to go the entire Premier League season unbeaten – but maintains they would be no match for Arsenal’s Invincibles.

The former Germany stopper played an integral part in Arsene Wenger’s record-breaking Gunners side of the 2003/04 season, where they became the first English side to go the whole season undefeated since Preston North End in 1889.

Liverpool are on course to match this feat, having dropped just two points so far this campaign with 25 wins out of 26 matches played.

The Anfield club are also looking to break the record for the largest title-winning margin of 19 points set by Manchester City in 2017/18, as well as the most amount of games won in a single season (32) – also held by Pep Guardiola’s side.

And Lehmann, who made 147 Premier League appearances for the Gunners from 2003 to 2008, believes Man City are the only club who can stop Liverpool from becoming the new ‘Invincibles.’

“Liverpool is an amazing story. All the ingredients are there for them to become the ‘Invincible’ champions,” Lehmann said at the Laureus World Sport Awards in Berlin.

“They are a fantastic team, really well organised — and also sometimes a little bit lucky.

“But that isn’t a criticism. At times, we were lucky as well and I am a believer that you have to work hard to earn your good fortune.

“Now they have the chance to become Invincibles — and I think the only team that can stop that happening now is Manchester City.”

Liverpool have gone 43 top-flight games without losing, the most in the club’s 127-year history. They now have their eye on matching Arsenal’s record of 49 games unbeaten between 2003 and 2005.

However, Lehmann believes his old side, led by Patrick Vieira and spearheaded by Thierry Henry, would prove too much for Liverpool if the two teams played each other.

“I would say the Premier League is not as strong as it once was and teams are beaten before they even play Liverpool,” he added.

“I don’t want to take something away from their success because they obviously have a great team. The fact they have only drawn one game so far makes the achievement even more special.

“We drew 12 games but many of those were after we had clinched the title and we didn’t think about going unbeaten until after we had clinched the title at White Hart Lane.

“I think our Arsenal team would have beaten this Liverpool team. Not easily, but we would have won because we had more individual class than what Liverpool have.

“It’s very hard to compare but when I look at the individual quality we had and the pace we had, then I think we would have had the edge.”
