Reds seek Arsenal spark

Last updated : 19 December 2014 By AFP

Arsene Wenger's side were routed on their last trip to Liverpool's famous stadium in February, when a devastating four-goal salvo inside the first 20 minutes left the north London club reeling.

It was the start of an 11-game winning run that took Liverpool to within sight of the title.

Their subsequent collapse has been followed by a wretched start to the current campaign, with last weekend's chastening 3-0 defeat at Manchester United leaving them 18 points behind leaders Chelsea in 11th place.

But having emerged from a taxing trip to Championship leaders Bournemouth in the League Cup with a 3-1 victory in mid-week, manager Brendan Rodgers is hopeful that his side have turned a corner.

"Slowly we are getting there. I've said that my teams have shown at Liverpool that we get better and better," Rodgers said after Liverpool's quarter-final success at Dean Court.

"A lot of players are adapting. I've been looking to find ways and solutions to make us more creative as we haven't been that at all this season and that is the mark of the team."
