Lehmann insists Arsenal's 'Invincibles' would beat current Liverpool team

Jens Lehmann believes Arsenal's 'Invicibles' would've beaten Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool side.

The Reds are 12 games away from equalling Arsenal's feat in 2004/05 of going an entire Premier League season unbeaten.

But Lehmann thinks his former team would beat the rampaging Reds.

"I would say the Premier League is not as strong as it once was and teams are beaten before they even play Liverpool," he said.

"I don't want to take something away from their success because they obviously have a great team. The fact they have only drawn one game so far makes the achievement even more special.

"We drew 12 games but many of those were after we had clinched the title and we didn't think about going unbeaten until after we had clinched the title at White Hart Lane.

"I think our Arsenal team would have beaten this Liverpool team. Not easily, but we would have won because we had more individual class than what Liverpool have.

"It's very hard to compare but when I look at the individual quality we had and the pace we had, then I think we would have had the edge."
