ARSENE WENGER admits the time has come to deliver more trophies for the Arsenal fans - after fuelling their hunger for success.
The Frenchman turned the Gunners into a major force after his shock appointment in 1996 - winning three titles and four FA Cups.
Wenger also led Arsenal to the 2006 Champions League Final - but defeat by Barcelona in Paris that night signalled the start of a decline.
Arsenal haven't won a trophy for five years and the supporters are beginning to get restless.
Wenger - who yesterday signed a three-year extension to his contract - knows that drought has to end soon.
But he's confident a win at Anfield today in the league opener can set the Gunners up for a shot at the title.
He said: "I'm as motivated as ever - if not more.
"We haven't won anything for a few years and it's vital we get back to lifting trophies.
"I feel an even higher level of responsibility now. The club is in the top eight in Europe and expectations are high.
"You feel more pressure but it's more exciting as well."
The new deal will keep Wenger at the Emirates until 2014 and the 60-year-old looks set to finish his coaching career with the Gunners.
He said: "I can now give my best years to a club that has given me so much."
New Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson is three years older than Wenger as he sets out on his Anfield adventure.
He's also under pressure to restore the Reds to greatness after a miserable last campaign under Rafa Benitez.
But Hodgson insists the job isn't any more stressful than his first assignment at Swedish club Halmstad.
He said: "I've been feeling pressure for the past 35 years. That is part of the job.
"You could say Halmstad and Liverpool can't be mentioned in the same breath but that's not what I thought when I was just 29.
"I felt a lot of pressure to get results for the team and I feel pressure now."
The target for Liverpool this term is to break back into the top four and Hodgson admits a title push is unrealistic.
He said: "It is pretty obvious we are a long way from where teams like Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea are."
