Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard spoke about Arsenal’s hopes of winning the Premier League title at Anfield.
Steven Gerrard claimed Arsenal’s win over Liverpool was proof they are more than capable of defending their Premier League crown. The legend of “Enfield” also announced which club he believes will win the league championship during this period.
Arsenal moved three points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table with a 1-0 win over Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.
Mikel Arteta’s side host Hull City at the weekend in their final match before the November international break, where they can extend their lead at the top of the league table.
The Gunners were beaten by Brighton before the last international break in September, but have since responded with four consecutive Premier League wins.
Gerrard was impressed by what he saw from Arsenal in the win over his former club, with the Liverpool legend explaining why the Gunners are capable of winning the title again.
“They [Liverpool] They shot themselves in the foot because they didn’t need to concede that early goal,” Gerrard said on Monday’s edition of The Overlap. [Alexis] Mac Allister’s chances of leveling and the obvious penalty incident are huge. Alisson saves.
“I thought on the balance of the game 1-0 would have been a fair result, but credit to Arsenal.
“So you win leagues, you go to places like Liverpool, you’re strong, you stick together and you put in a different performance full of tenacity and fight and unity and they’ve crossed the line.

“And they’ll know that at the end of the season, if they win the league, which I think they will, I haven’t changed my mind since the start of the season, they’ll look back on it more than four or five leagues where you look fantastic, because I’m sure they will at times.
“They will look at it and think we went to Anfield, tough crowd to play for, tough Liverpool performance, Andoni Iraola this Liverpool team played a lot better, Liverpool played well and we managed to come away with the three points.
“It could be huge for Arsenal. They’re nine points behind Liverpool at the moment. So Liverpool have some work to do if they want to challenge. But this Arsenal team seems to be able to beat teams in different ways. I think that could be the difference.”
