Liverpool were one of the best teams in the world last season.
Arne Slot managed to lead his men to the Premier League title with Mohamed Salah putting in a career-best performance.
This season, things have started fairly well with the Anfield outfit only losing two games across all competitions.
At the moment, it feels like they’re well on their way to retaining the Premier League title, but with Arsenal following closely behind them, former Everton player Duncan Ferguson has shared his thoughts on who will win the title this term.
Duncan Ferguson thinks that Arsenal will win the Premier League title over Liverpool this season
During the summer transfer window, Liverpool and Arsenal were the two top-flight teams that spent the most money on improving their ranks.
Although the Reds ended up spending a little less than the Gunners due to the number of players they sold, both clubs managed to massively improve their ranks.
Not only does this mean that things are likely to go down to the wire, but it also means that there’s a genuine debate about who’s going to win the title.
And, while live on Sky Sports, Ferguson gave his reasoning as to why he thinks Arsenal will win the Premier League title this season.
“I was very impressed with them [Arsenal], I’ve put them down for the favourites for the title, I think they’ll be in front of Liverpool,” Ferguson said.
“I was very impressed with them, they went right to the end, they’re always strong in set pieces aren’t they.
“He changes formations he changes tactics, he’s putting different personnel in for the game.”
Later in the show, the topic was revisited and Ferguson added: “What I’ve saw of Liverpool, the wee bit of Liverpool I’ve saw this year and what I’ve saw of Arsenal, Arsenal look a stronger team.
“The manager has been in there a few years now and they’ve come second three times now I think haven’t they, this could be their year.”
Liverpool will have to be in top form throughout the entire Premier League season
After spending over £400million on players, you’d expect Liverpool to run away with the top-flight title.
As mentioned, however, seeing as though Arsenal have also spent a hefty chunk of change, there’s a lot to be considered throughout the rest of the season.
And, seeing as though Liverpool won the Premier League last term, it feels like a lot of their energy may end up getting directed towards the Champions League instead.
In reality, however, fans are likely expecting the Anfield outfit to do their best in both competitions so that they can come away with both titles.
At the moment, it’s anyone’s guess what might happen, but with the way things are panning out at the moment, things look to be heading in the right direction in L4.
