Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says beating a top four side in the Premier League is the one remaining challenge for his young side.
The Gunners face Liverpool at Anfield tomorrow and the Frenchman believes that if they can maintain their current form they have a strong chance against Rafael Benitez's men.
Arsenal have made an unbeaten start to the league season and Wenger claims if they replicate their form against the other big-four from last season they will be hard to catch in the race for the title.
He said: "Playing a big side is the last question mark against this side.
"I feel that if we repeat our record against the big teams from last year then we will be very difficult to beat. That's the challenge we face now."
The Gunners boss said as long as they went into the game against Liverpool with confidence their faith in their ability would help them do the rest.
Wenger said his young side had grown in confidence as the season has progressed so far and that seeing themselves top of the table has given them belief.
He said: "We've learnt to believe in our focus. I go into every game expecting to win. Although in fairness I had the feeling last year too.
"What is important is we have picked up our belief. At the beginning of the season our belief was not strong enough to challenge. Now we've built up our belief."
If Wenger is to succeed against the Reds on Sunday his team will have to buck a trend that has seen the home side win the last seven matches between the two sides.
