Paul Merson refusing to rule out Arsenal as potential champions

Paul Merson was impressed with Arsenal’s victory over Liverpool.

The Gunners beat Liverpool with a scoreline of 3-2 and have increased their lead by 14 points to Jurgen Klopp’s men.

Arsenal had a dream start to the Premier League season and club legend Paul Merson believes his former club will have a shot at the title this year.

“I thought they were outstanding,” Merson told Sky Sports.

“I thought they started really well, got out of the blocks quickly and scored early doors. I thought Arsenal’s management of the game [after they scored the third] was phenomenal. Once they were 3-2 up there was never really a threat from Liverpool.

“And you are talking about a very young, inexperienced team at the end there. I was so impressed. they are top of the league, another game gone, they just need to keep on doing what they are doing. I have never seen this place like this [or at least] not for a long, long, time. It’s absolutely buzzing.

“As long as they stay on the coat tails of Manchester City, you never know. We’ve seen Leicester win the Premier League [in the past].”
