Merson Questions Arsenal's Strikers in Title Race Against Liverpool and Manchester City

Former Arsenal player Paul Merson believes that Arsenal’s title hopes could be jeopardized by their strike-force, particularly Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah as they prepare to compete with Liverpool and Manchester City. Despite being tied on points with City, Merson expressed concern about Arsenal’s mid-season struggles affecting their title credentials. Merson acknowledged Liverpool’s strength especially in the absence of Mohamed Salah but questioned whether Arsenal’s strikers can match up. He emphasized that upcoming fixtures particularly against Chelsea and Arsenal could impact Liverpool’s title charge. Merson, however, still sees reigning champions City as the team to beat in the Premier League this season. The clash between Liverpool and Arsenal on February 4 is anticipated to play a crucial role in determining the title race.
