Ahead of Sunday’s crucial match between Liverpool and Arsenal for the Premier League title, former Manchester United player Paul Scholes revealed an unexpected revelation regarding Arne Slot’s team.
After eight games, the Merseyside team leads the Premier League and has won all of its cup matches, including three Champions League titles. The Reds have had an outstanding start to the 2024–25 season.
Slot’s side is the first one in Liverpool’s history to win their first six away games, and when they visit the Emirates this weekend, they hope to make it seven.
The Reds’ chances of winning the Premier League would be greatly enhanced by defeating Arsenal, as it would put them seven points clear of their North London rivals. Mikel Arteta has been given a significant boost ahead of the game and will stop at nothing to stop it from happening.
Due to Liverpool’s coach change, many people thought the Gunners would challenge Man City for the title before the season even started. However, Slot’s team may be about to throw a wrench in the works, as Paul Scholes made an unexpected remark about the Dutchman’s squad before the weekend.
Paul Scholes thinks Liverpool’s team is superior to Arsenal’s.
In the most recent Stick to Football episode, Scholes discussed Arsenal vs. Liverpool and acknowledged that Pep Guardiola will be more concerned about Slot’s team this season because the Merseyside club has a stronger group than the Gunners.
“I believe that Liverpool’s team is superior to Arsenal’s. The former Manchester United player stated, “I believe Pep Guardiola will be more concerned about Liverpool than Arsenal.” “Liverpool’s midfield is athletic.” I thought, “Wow, they look like a fit team,” and I noticed that they had quality when they defeated United 3-0 at Old Trafford.
The adage “you’re only as good as your forwards” applies to the three players in the middle of the field with the forwards in front of them; it makes no difference who they have in midfield. They have five or six exceptional forwards. The middle of the pitch loses its significance.
