LONDON (Reuters) - Often reserving their best form for tougher games, manager Arsene Wenger hopes the right Arsenal side turns up for Sunday's clash with Premier League leaders Liverpool (4 p.m.).
The two teams have already beaten title rivals Manchester United and Chelsea but fifth-placed Arsenal have too frequently stuttered against lesser opposition.
Defeats by Fulham, Hull City, Stoke City, Manchester City and Aston Villa have left the Gunners eight points behind Liverpool.
Typically one of the best fixtures on the calendar, an away win for Rafa Benitez's men would open a four-point gap at the top, with United contesting the Club World Cup in Japan and second-placed Chelsea not playing until Monday.
"We have beaten Chelsea and United this season but we have to remember Arsenal have done the same," Liverpool midfielder Javier Mascherano told his club's website (www.liverpoolfc.tv).
"I think they play much better against the top teams and so we know it will be a hard match. But if we play our football and use our heads then we can win the game."by asia.news.yahoo.com
