Liverpool, enjoying their best start to a season and hungry for silverware, are thriving. Following their victory over Leipzig, the Reds are gearing up to take on Arsenal at the Emirates this weekend in a highly anticipated clash. This showdown between Liverpool and Arsenal features two of the Premier League’s top sides, each striving to assert dominance amidst Manchester City’s recent title dominance. The Reds and the Gunners have been consistent in challenging City’s reign, making this fixture all the more critical as they work to be seen as the best of the rest.
Liverpool have entered a new era under Arne Slot, and early signs are promising. Currently topping the Premier League, the Reds are thriving, yet they aren’t widely seen as title contenders just yet.
Gary Neville thinks Liverpool don’t have enough to win the title, while Chris Sutton has tipped the Reds to finish third.
Speaking on the Up Front Podcast, Graeme Souness has been discussing Liverpool’s start to the season, and he’s made an interesting claim about Arsenal.
Graeme Souness thinks Arsenal are better than Liverpool
Though a Liverpool legend, Graeme Souness was clear about his scepticism regarding Liverpool’s title chances. He voiced that, despite their impressive start and European performances, he still considers both Arsenal and Manchester City superior to the Reds.
In the words of the Liverpool Legend,
“Have they convinced me yet? No, because I’m looking at Arsenal and I’m looking at City and I think right now they’re still a wee bit ahead of them. But you know, he’s made the most fantastic start.
“I think his management style would be enjoyed by the players, but they’ve been winning games, Simon. His problems will start when they start to lose a few games, then we’ll see if the players are still thinking the same about them. Managers are two different people.”

Liverpool have yet to face any of last season’s top-five teams, and while their win over Chelsea was impressive, the Blues’ inconsistency leaves questions unanswered. This weekend’s clash with Arsenal sets up a real test for the Reds, though even a win may not sway critics due to Arsenal’s current injury and suspension woes.
For Liverpool, the path forward is simple: keep winning. And, much like Jurgen Klopp did years ago, Arne Slot has the chance to convert doubters into believers.
