Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso is ready for the clash with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

Alonso admits they will have to play as well as they did at Chelsea in order to get a result.

The Spaniard said: “It is still early in the title race and we don’t have to get nervous or obsessed about it.

“Arsenal is only three points and if we want to stay at the top then we need them. They are far from the top but I wouldn’t rule them out.

“But winning at Stamford Bridge gave us confidence. It was a good away performance and we fully deserved that win. Now we need to repeat that kind of display if we want to beat Arsenal – and hopefully the team is ready for that.”
