Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit thinks the current Liverpool side are superior to Arsenal's Invincibles.

The Gunners side went unbeaten all season in the Premier League in 2004, but they drew 12 of those matches and got 90 points.

The Reds would eclipse that figure if the league resumes in the coming weeks. And Petit thinks that is what matters most, who gets more points.

Speaking to the Mirror, Petit said: "I have huge respect for my old team-mates, but when I look at Liverpool, and what they have been doing for the past two years.

"People are looking at them now because last year they won a European trophy, but really they have been like this for the past two or three years.

"It's amazing what they are doing - it is rare to see a team winning so many games and being so dominant against their opponents all the time.

"They were both great teams in history, but for me this Liverpool team have something special. It is hard to explain what I feel when I look at Liverpool, but I don't remember thinking the same way when I was looking at the Invincibiles.

"They have impressed me more than Arsenal's Invincibles.

"I am pretty sure Arsenal fans won't be happy with that. But I have to be honest. When I look at this team, the motivation, the intensity, so many talented players. Something is different with them."
