(Reuters) - Arsenal can end their winless streak at Liverpool when both sides meet this weekend, which would help them preserve their spot at the top of the Premier League, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said on Friday.

Arsenal, who are top of the table with 39 points from 17 matches, face second-placed Liverpool on Saturday. The north London outfit's last successful Premier League trip to Anfield came in 2012 - when Arteta was still playing for Arsenal.
