London - Brendan Rodgers has challenged his Liverpool stars to prove they can cope with the extra pressure of taking on a top-four rival when they travel to Arsenal on Saturday.
Prior to the international break, fifth placed Liverpool saw their 13-match unbeaten league run ended at home to fourth placed Manchester United, leaving them five points adrift of their bitter rivals as the battle to qualify for the Champions League hots up.
Defeat at third-placed Arsenal, six points ahead of Liverpool, would be a huge blow to their aspirations of featuring in Europe's elite club competition for a second successive season.
