The Premier League title race is heating up, with Paul Merson suggesting that four teams are still in contention for glory. While Manchester City remains the favorites, Liverpool, Arsenal, and surprisingly, Tottenham Hotspur are also in the mix.
Manchester City, despite an early-season dip in form, seems to be hitting their stride at the right time. They are currently the odds-on favorites to win the title. Liverpool, on the other hand, is the current pacesetters and will be looking to give Jurgen Klopp a perfect send-off in his final season as manager.
Arsenal has recently returned from their winter training camp in Dubai and has shown their credentials with impressive wins over Liverpool and West Ham. Despite being seven points off the pace, Paul Merson believes that Arsenal’s north London rivals, Tottenham Hotspur, are still in contention. Ange Postecoglou’s side has been improving and is welcoming back key players at a crucial stage of the season.
Merson points out that Tottenham has a favorable fixture list and believes they could win their next five or six games. He emphasizes that while it’s important to win these seemingly easier games, it’s better than facing tough opponents like Manchester City every week. With Liverpool set to face Manchester City in a couple of weeks, Merson believes the title race could change once again.
The recent 6-0 victory over West Ham was crucial for Arsenal as it improved their goal difference. Merson believes that this result has brought Arsenal back into the title race, with only three goals separating them from the top teams. While acknowledging that there are three top teams in contention, Merson refuses to count out Tottenham Hotspur. He has been impressed with their performances and considers them a genuine threat.
The Premier League title race is shaping up to be an exciting battle between these four teams. With Manchester City as the favorites, Liverpool looking to give Klopp a memorable farewell, Arsenal gaining momentum, and Tottenham Hotspur emerging as an unexpected contender, fans can expect a thrilling finish to the season.
