Arsène Wenger has admitted he believes Liverpool will outpace Arsenal in the race for the Premier League title this season. Currently, the Reds hold a seven-point lead over the Gunners and could extend that gap to 10 points with a win against Aston Villa on Wednesday night.
Both teams face tough schedules ahead—Liverpool must navigate a demanding run, including matches against Manchester City and Newcastle United within a hectic 15-day period, while Arsenal has its own challenges. The Gunners will host West Ham before traveling to Nottingham Forest and Manchester United, followed by a home clash with Chelsea. Additionally, they have two Champions League knockout fixtures, potentially against Juventus, AC Milan, PSV Eindhoven, or Feyenoord.
Wenger, who led Arsenal to three Premier League titles and the iconic Invincibles season in 2003/04, acknowledges that his former club’s last league triumph remains over two decades ago. While he hopes Arsenal can break their title drought, he concedes that it would take a significant Liverpool slump for them to have a real chance.
Speaking on beIN Sports, the 75-year-old joked about needing to “improve the quality of his praying” for Arsenal to win, noting that Liverpool has only lost once in 25 games and would need to lose at least three times in the remaining 13 matches. Given their consistency, he admitted that Liverpool are the “super favorites” unless they experience an unexpected collapse.
