Liverpool legend Barnes dismisses Arsenal as title prospect | OneFootball

Liverpool legend John Barnes has dismissed Arsenal as a title prospect.

Despite the Gunners hot start, the former England international reckons the league leaders will end up “between fourth and sixth".

The 58-year-old spoke to BonusCodeBets and said: “Arsenal needed a centre-forward and that's Jesus' position. He's young and it's a great signing for Arsenal.

“He's scored seven goals this pre-season so he's definitely hit the ground running and of course, Arteta would have known him from Man City, he would have known the type of player he was, it's an excellent signing.

“I know my top two will be Liverpool and Man City but my next two will be Chelsea and Tottenham. In what order, I don't know.

“Arsenal will finish between four and six, quite possibly the top four. I think after that, it's between them and Manchester United.

“Arsenal will finish around fourth, fifth or sixth, it'll be around there."
