According to former footballer Owen Hargreaves, Arsenal and Chelsea are lacking the same level of experience as Liverpool. In his opinion, this could be a major obstacle for both teams in their pursuit of the Premier League title. Hargreaves believes that in order to successfully challenge Liverpool, Arsenal need to sign three players with significant experience.
As it stands, Liverpool is sitting comfortably at the top of the Premier League table, seven points ahead of Chelsea. This was further cemented by their impressive 3-1 comeback victory against Leicester City on Boxing Day. Meanwhile, Chelsea suffered a disappointing defeat to Fulham, despite initially taking the lead.
On the other hand, if Arsenal manages to secure a win against Ipswich Town on Friday, they will overtake Chelsea and narrow the gap between them and Liverpool to just six points. However, Hargreaves is of the opinion that both Arsenal and Chelsea lack the necessary experience to outshine Liverpool this season. He stated that Liverpool's manager, Arne Slot, is constantly adapting their tactics according to the game, which is something he admires about the team.
Hargreaves also pointed out that Liverpool has a strong blend of young and experienced players, such as Alisson, Virgil Van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Robertson, and Mohamed Salah, who have been consistently performing at the highest level. In his eyes, this is what sets them apart from Arsenal and Chelsea.
He further expressed his surprise at Arsenal's failure to address this issue and stressed that adding three or four experienced players to their squad could make all the difference in their quest for the Premier League title. Hargreaves also agreed with his fellow pundit Michael Owen, who believes that Chelsea's young squad may not have what it takes to win the league this season, but could be a force to be reckoned with in the future.
Meanwhile, Owen also shared his thoughts on the current Premier League standings. He believes that Arsenal is Liverpool's only credible threat, especially after Manchester City's draw against Everton. He also expressed his confidence in Liverpool's ability to continue their impressive form and secure the title.
Owen also highlighted the fact that other top teams, such as Chelsea, Manchester City, and Manchester United, are struggling to keep up with Liverpool's pace. In his opinion, Arsenal is the only team that could potentially challenge Liverpool for the title, but even then, he sees Liverpool as their own biggest threat. As long as they continue to play the way they have been, it is highly likely that they will secure the Premier League title.
