Arsenal Legend, Paul Merson has backed Liverpool to win the Premier League title this season.
Merson said Liverpool have brilliant attackers – Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez – who are all capable of scoring goals, adding that Jurgen Klopp’s side have every chance of winning the English top-flight league.
Liverpool currently sits on top of the Premier League table with 37 points from 16 matches.
The Reds are ahead of Arsenal, Aston Villa and Manchester City on the Premier League table.
”Liverpool are a team that will always score goals. They have got five brilliant attackers Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez who are all capable of scoring goals. No other team has that and it is why Liverpool have every chance of going all the way in the race for the Premier League title,” Merson said as quoted by Sky Sports.
“You could argue Man City have better players going forward but they don’t have players that will score more than Liverpool’s five.
“If they can keep Virgil van Dijk fit at the back, the forwards will get the goals and that is why I think Liverpool have every chance of winning the title.”
