Arsenal are backed to finish last in the three-horse title race with Liverpool and Manchester City
Liverpool are once again involved in a title race, this time with Arsenal and Manchester City, as the Kop prepares to bid farewell to Jurgen Klopp on a high note at the end of the ongoing season.
The Reds from Merseyside clinched their first taste of silverware of the ongoing season last weekend at Wembley Stadium, thanks to Virgil van Dijk’s header deep into added time that sealed the Carabao Cup victory.
Liverpool still have three trophies to pursue this season. Jurgen Klopp’s side are competing in the Premier League, the quarterfinals of the FA Cup, and the Round of 16 in the Europa League.
While Liverpool and Manchester City have experience dealing with prolonged title races, this is only Arsenal’s second season in contention for the Premier League title.
Speaking ahead of Arsenal’s game against Sheffield United, Joleon Lescott proclaimed that the Gunners are the third favourites in the race, owing to the consistent winning streak required to be successful at the end of the season.
“I think it’s more important for Arsenal [experience] that will be a factor for them. Liverpool have been there and thereabouts; they know what it takes to win. Obviously, new members of the squad haven’t won the league, but the Klopp factor, last season, Anfield is obviously an intimidating place regardless. So the experience for Arsenal will be a factor, but for Liverpool and City, they’re used to winning, and we see them go on runs of 10-12 games of wins. I just think that’s the standard now, and I put Arsenal third because I haven’t seen them produce a run of ten wins in a row, which is the new normal,” Lescott said via the Premier League official website.
The tight race at the top of the Premier League table means that one result can change the outcome of the title race. Lets say, if Arsenal were to surprisingly lose the game against Sheffield United tomorrow, they could effectively be out of title contention.
