Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson has shared his thoughts on Liverpool and Arsenal's hopes of challenging Manchester CIty for the Premier League title
Paul Merson has given his verdict on Liverpool’s chances of winning the Premier League and already ruled one club out of the title race.
A poor start last season left Liverpool playing catch up and ultimately missing out on the Champions League, despite eventually getting back to their best. The club has challenged Man City for the title in three of the last five seasons and look on course to do so with a new-look side. Last season, it fell to Arsenal to challenge the dominance of Pep Guardiola’s team.
“You've just got to stick with Man City for as long as you can. Every game that goes by, you have to make sure you're three points away from them, tops.” Liverpool currently sit on 13 points, the same number as Arsenal, with both sides drawing one of their five games. However, Merson has warned his former side that the Gunners could soon find themselves with a mountain to climb after their next three league fixtures, which include hosting local rivals Spurs and Man City.
