Former Arsenal icon Paul Merson has adjusted his Premier League title forecast, shifting his support from Arsenal to Liverpool after recent performances.
The 57-year-old, who initially predicted Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal would secure their first Premier League trophy in 22 years, has now altered his stance. At the beginning of the season, Merson strongly believed the Gunners were ready to dominate the league.
However, Liverpool’s impressive victories have reshaped his outlook. After watching the Reds defeat both Arsenal and Newcastle United, Merson is convinced that Arne Slot’s side are better positioned to claim the title.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Merson revealed his reasoning:
“Yeah, I would’ve thought so after yesterday as well. After you got [Isak]. See, I always weigh it up with the league [after some time]. I thought advantage Arsenal when they went and won at Man United, then all of a sudden Liverpool went and beat Newcastle and they beat Arsenal. For me, they have not even got out of second gear yet, and they have not played particularly well yet.”
Merson emphasized that despite not reaching their best form, Liverpool continues to secure key victories, which makes them the strongest contenders for the Premier League title race this season.
This change in prediction highlights the growing pressure on Arsenal and their fans, who had high hopes of ending the two-decade-long wait for league glory. Meanwhile, Liverpool’s consistency under new management signals a powerful campaign ahead.
