Paul Scholes thinks Liverpool are ‘better’ than Arsenal

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes made a major prediction that may shock certain audiences - he thinks that Arne Slot’s Liverpool have a better chance of winning the Premier League this season than Arsenal do.

Speaking on the Overlap’s Fan Debate, Scholes said: “You don't think you've got a chance? I think you're better than Arsenal. You've got a better squad, and possibly team. They excite me more. It's not nice saying that, but honestly Liverpool do excite me more when I watch them, when I see their players. Everything they've got, it feels better than Arsenal. I think Pep could be more worried about Liverpool than he is Arsenal."
