Arsenal boss Unai Emery admits he's not looking forward to their trip to Liverpool.

The Gunners were thrashed 5-1 away by Jurgen Klopp's side in Emery's first campaign in charge, but they will return to Anfield on Saturday with renewed confidence after winning their first two games of the season.

Emery said: "For us we don't want to play against Liverpool ever.

"We'd prefer not to play against them.

"That is really our challenge, a really good test. For the supporters, for all of us, going there with six points is good.

"Really our target is to reduce the distance to Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham and Chelsea.

"When we play against them it is a big challenge to show how we can be. Next week is going to be a very good match."
