Arsenal defender Holding: Anfield most intimidating stadium

Arsenal defender Rob Holding rates Liverpool's Anfield as the most intimidating stadium in the country.

Holding recalled Arsenal's 2-2 draw at Liverpool last season after being 2-0 ahead at one stage.

"Definitely in the Premier League, Anfield [has the best atmosphere]," Holding claimed. "We were 2-0 up and suddenly their crowd lifted and got aggressive.

"You could see it boost their players. Their players then look a bit taller and run a bit faster. It's a tough, tough place to go and take all three points. We should have done, to be fair.

"The Kop just sucks the ball into the net. There's this energy and pressure and it eventually breaks through."
