Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that his favourite football stadium belongs to one of his Premier League rivals, Liverpool.

The Frenchman, who has been in charge of the Gunners for the past 20 years, has praised the atmosphere that the ground generates during Liverpool matches.

The Merseyside club increased the stadium's capacity to just over 54,000 by redeveloping the Main Stand over the summer.

"My favourite stadium with biggest fanbase with the most heated atmosphere is Liverpool because there's special vibes there," Wenger told beIN Sports. "The song before the game, 'You'll Never Walk Alone', the history of the club and the stadium itself.

"Before it was Highbury. It had a special soul. Now it's Everton, Liverpool, Newcastle was great too. Football is like what it was 30 years ago because of the environment of the game. The passion, the soul of the stadium. It has the most heated, supportive atmosphere."

Wenger will take his Arsenal team to Anfield on March 4 when the teams go head to head in the Premier League.
