‘They are the ones’ – Alan Shearer makes strong Premier title prediction after Liverpool and Arsenal results | OneFootball

Liverpool extended their unbeaten run to 17 games in all competitions after securing a 3-3 draw against Newcastle United on Wednesday night.

The Reds are now seven points clear at the top of the table, and former Newcastle United star Alan Shearer has predicted how the league could shape up.

Arsenal and Chelsea won their respective games, while Manchester City also returned to winning ways after a mini-slump in form.

The popular football pundit believes Liverpool are on course to win the title, but he expects their journey to be far from perfect.

Shearer said after the game: “Liverpool are favourites now for the Premier League title after their start to the season.

“It’s not all going to be perfection for them, though. They will have to answer some questions, like they did at Newcastle tonight.

“Arsenal are the closest to them and they are the ones that are going to challenge them.

I don’t see Manchester City coming back from where they are, even though they are back to winning ways. They’ve left themselves with a lot to do.”

Liverpool will not get carried away

The result against Newcastle couldn’t have come at a better time. It is a timely reminder to the Reds squad about the challenges they could face away from home and that they must be prepared.

There’s still a lot of questions Slot needs to answer. Darwin Nunez has struggled to impress in Diogo Jota’s absence, and Slot needs to figure out how he can get the best out of him.

Joe Gomez still needs to prove that he can be trusted at the back. He made some poor mistakes against the Magpies, and Slot must decide whether to start with him or Quanssah against Everton.

Arsenal have won four games in a row, and it is not surprising that their results have improved following Martin Odegaard’s return from injury.

Liverpool should not get carried away with the lead, and they must simply focus on winning games.

Arsenal and City are capable of taking the title race to the end, and Liverpool’s current lead may ultimately count for nothing.
