Reina: confident Reds ready to end Emirates jinx

LIVERPOOL goalkeeper Jose Reina insists the Merseyside faithful have plenty of reasons to be cheerful about Sunday’s visit to Arsenal.

The Reds have struggled away against the Gunners under Rafael Benitez — in fact they have not beaten Arsene Wenger’s side on the Gunners’ own turf since February 2000 — but Reina insists there is a new confidence in league leaders Liverpool.

“We don’t have that many great memories from our other visits to the Emirates. They played very well, and we weren’t in our best moment. This time I think it is different, because we are top of the table and I think it is easier to play when you are up there. We’ve never won there before, so maybe it’s the right time to do it.
