EPL: Paul Merson reveals club that’ll take Premier League title away from Man City this season
Former Arsenal and England star, Paul Merson, has predicted that Liverpool have every chance of snatch the Premier League title away from Manchester City this season.
The former Arsenal star identified Reds defenders, Van Dijk and Joe Gomez as capable hands that could help the club achieve their dream of becoming champions again.
“I’m very, very confident. I think they look a real good team,’ the former Arsenal and England forward told Sky Sports.
“Joe Gomez is a big plus, and the three up front are always going to cause problems.
“They’ve got every chance. Last season I think their Achilles heel was defending on the counter-attack, but with Gomez and Van Dijk, and with the goalkeeper, it’s game on now.
“Van Dijk’s concentration levels now, he just looks world class. If you want to win Premier League titles – yes, they got to the Champions League final over a short amount of games – you need to churn it out over a lot of games.
“I’m a big fan of this Liverpool team, I think Klopp has got it right at the moment.”
