The Independent said Liverpool go into Sunday's match against Arsenal on a five-game winning run, with Andoni Iraola discussing their attack and set-piece defending.

The Independent said Liverpool head into their Premier League match against Arsenal on Sunday with momentum from five straight wins. The outlet added that only two of those five victories have come in the Premier League.

Recent run

The Independent said Alexander Isak has scored six goals in his last six top-flight games. It also said Liverpool's four wingers have eight goals and nine assists between them in all competitions.

Iraola said: "It is still too early to take big conclusions," and added: "It is too early to start looking at the standings."

League attack

Iraola said: "In the league, we have been less dangerous offensively."

He also said: "In the first bunch of games, I think the two draws at the beginning condition everything else."

Set-piece defending

On defending set-pieces, Iraola said: "I think we have, touch wood, dealt very well with defending set-pieces so far this season."

On Arsenal, he said: "But it is probably the biggest challenge."

Iraola said: "It definitely helps having a centre-back at right-back when we talk about defending set-pieces," and added: "It helps a bit with the height and the physicality of the team."

Defensive numbers

The Independent said that since Ronald Araujo's introduction at Ipswich in September, Liverpool have only conceded one league goal with 11 men on the pitch.

Iraola said: "We are defending really well lately but still we have some situations where we need to improve."
