Liverpool are just two games away from equalling Chelsea’s 40-game unbeaten run, set under Jose Mourinho between 2004 and 2005, while the overall record set by Arsenal’s Invincibles between 2003 and 2004 is just 11 games away from leaders.

Liverpool may have reached an unprecedented milestone in this sensational season, but manager Klopp, as he has done all season, has urged his players not to distract themselves with talk of records.
“If we thought about any kind of record, we would not have won the number of games we have won so far. That’s it,” Klopp said.
“In sport, teams have never set a record because they wanted to set a record. It just happened because of being focused on each step we make and that is what we have to do.
“All I can say is that we try to create a basis for the rest of the season with all we have. The rest of the season is still quite long, we have a lot of tough games to play, the next one is especially tough, and we have to make sure we are ready for that.”
