Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp knows they can deliver a heavy blow to Arsenal's title hopes on Sunday.
The Reds meet Arsenal sitting top of the table.
Klopp said: "It's good but you cannot really add that on. Shall I go to the boys in the dressing room and say, 'If we win against Arsenal we are eight points between us and them...'? Everybody knows that. If we lose, 'We are still two points ahead, but then City are the big winner of a game they are not even involved in.'
"That's outside talk and fine. Inside, we just focus on the game, on the things we have to do, improve on the games we played against them, learn from the games we played against them because they are really good, they ask for a lot and try to win. That's all. It is difficult enough anyway and at Arsenal it is probably more difficult anyway, but we are in a good moment and we should use that as well. The things we did well recently, we should pack into this game as well, so let's give it a try."
Liverpool meet Arsenal having beaten them in the FA Cup last month.
"Will we improve? We will see. What we learn is that we have to be much more dominant in possession. There it was a typical away game. Yes, we had a few problems here and there, that's true, and it's a cup game, it's all about the result, stuff like this. But I think everybody who saw the game knows that Arsenal could have scored before we scored and that could have given the game a completely different direction obviously.
"But even these kind of games you can win, but I would prefer us to have more moments where we are in charge as difficult as it is because they are really good.
"You saw it in the home game when we played, first half they were super-physical in a good way, not kicking or whatever, really strong on the ball and they won these one-v-one situations, they won press balls, 50-50 situations, they won all that. But they could not cope with us for 90 minutes and probably in the second half we should have won that game, but that's quite normal in football and quite common. I try to give the boys the right information [so] that we can just be better and being better means being more in the game, being more in the game means you have a bigger chance to win it."
