David Seaman admits he expected Liverpool to match Arsenal's Invincibles feat

Arsenal legend David Seaman admits that he expected Liverpool to emulate the Gunners' achievement of going through an entire campaign unbeaten this season.

Former Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman has admitted that he expected Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool to emulate the 'Invincibles' season from 2003-04 this term.

The Reds remarkably dropped only two points from their first 27 games of the current campaign, breaking all sorts of records en route to the best start ever seen in any of Europe's top leagues.

However, their unbeaten run ended with a stunning 3-0 defeat at the hands of relegation-threatened Watford in February, and Seaman believes the result proves exactly how impressive Arsenal's achievement of going through an entire campaign unbeaten was.

"It shows how hard it was. If I'm honest, I did think Liverpool were going to do it because they looked so good. They were getting the ball back and they looked the perfect team. Did anyone see that coming at Watford?" Seaman is quoted as saying by The Mirror.

"It was surprising. But what a benchmark Liverpool have set. They set it last season but Man City were even better and Liverpool are like a machine. They all know their jobs, they are so well organised and work so hard, it's almost as if they have a set time to win the ball back.

"I heard Ray Parlour talking about it and saying after they had won the league it was hard to focus on the games. They had one game at Portsmouth, they got battered and still got a result because Jens Lehmann pulled off some great saves. It would have been harder for Liverpool."

Liverpool sit 25 points clear at the top of the Premier League table with play currently suspended and need only six more points to secure their first title since 1990.
