"Yet Shearer made it clear that seven games is still an early sample and he won't change his overall view until a longer run of matches gives clearer evidence of who is likely to prevail. Shearer replied: I'm not going to change my mind as yet, Gaz. I might do after a dozen games, but I've been mightily impressed with Arsenal."
"As the Premier League heads into the international break, the title race is already shaping into a two-horse contest between Arsenal and Liverpool, and while many pundits have shifted their predictions in light of recent results. However, Alan Shearer is not yet ready to abandon his pre-season pick. Arsenal have briefly moved ahead of Liverpool in the table, but Shearer told listeners he's still backing the Reds, at least for now."
The Premier League title race has narrowed into a two-way battle between Arsenal and Liverpool as the season reaches the international break. Arsenal have briefly moved ahead of Liverpool in the table and have found momentum, with Eddie Nketiah's late winner at Selhurst Park marking a recent boost. Liverpool have suffered back-to-back Premier League defeats, both conceded to late opposition goals, including Estevao's winner for Chelsea and Nketiah's strike earlier. Arsenal's only loss came at Anfield when Dominik Szoboszlai scored a free-kick. Alan Shearer remains personally committed to Liverpool as his pre-season pick but says seven games is too small a sample to change his view. Pundits have highlighted selection and defensive issues at Anfield.
