"It's really nice to feel the pressure of fighting for a title. This is why I came to Liverpool. Every player here wants to fight for the title, to feel this pressure and to play in massive games," Arbeloa said in an interview on the club's official website.
"Sunday is massive for both teams. A draw is not enough for us - and not enough for them. We play at home and we have to win.
"It will be important after the last few weeks if we win and show people that we can beat a really good side. It will be good for us, the supporters and the media. This game can change everything."
