Jordan Henderson believes that Liverpool can "send out a message" to their rivals if they manage to beat Arsenal at the Emirates on Saturday.
The Reds are currently two points adrift of the Gunners, who top the Premier League table after nine games following an impressive start to the campaign.
"They're all tough games in the Premier League and Arsenal have been flying of late, but so have we, so I think it will be a good game to watch and hopefully we can get a good result," Henderson told the club's official website.
"It would send out a message to the rest of the teams that we're here and we mean business, but I think the main focus is going there and playing like we have been."
Liverpool, who sit third in the table, are on level points with Chelsea.
