""It's a long way," Szoboszlai told Sky Sports. "The Premier League is not easy. You don't win it by January, so I don't think we are playing against the champions. They're playing against the champions. They know as well. We know as well. Of course, they are one of the favourites for this year. Unbelievable team, really good players. But we shouldn't forget about Manchester City and Aston Villa, who is doing very good. So yeah, we don't play against the champions. They play against the champions.""
""Arsenal are assigned an 86.2% chance of sitting top of the pile according to the Opta supercomputer, with only Manchester City (9.8%) and Aston Villa (3.9%) believed to be in with a chance of lifting the title this season in its simulations.""
"Liverpool currently find themselves 14 points adrift of Mikel Arteta's league leaders, despite going on an eight-game unbeaten run in the top-flight (W4 D4) since November. It has been a dramatic drop-off in form for the Premier League champions, who started the 2025-26 campaign with five wins out of five, one of which came against Arsenal."
Liverpool sit 14 points behind Arsenal but have an eight-game unbeaten run in the league (W4 D4) since November. Liverpool began the season with five wins from five, including a win over Arsenal settled by Szoboszlai's 83rd-minute free-kick at Anfield. Szoboszlai warned that the title race remains long and difficult, naming Manchester City and Aston Villa as contenders. Opta's simulations give Arsenal an 86.2% chance of finishing top, with City and Villa trailing. Liverpool drew 2-2 with Fulham before the trip to the Emirates and seek their eighth Premier League double over Arsenal.
