Paul Merson, Arsenal legend, has altered his Premier League title prediction.
Merson had previously tipped the Gunners to win their first Premier League title in 22 years.
The 57-year-old backed Mikel Arteta’s side to come out on top before the season began.
However, after watching Liverpool defeat both Arsenal and Newcastle United, Merson has now tipped the Reds to win the title this term.
Asked if Arne Slot’s side are now favourites to win this season’s Premier League title, Merson told Sky Sports, “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 they [Liverpool] go 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.”
