Liverpool are undoubtedly the team to beat in the Premier League and Champions League this season.

Indeed, the Merseyside outfit did win the Premier League title last season, but since the likes of Luis Diaz and Harvey Elliott have been moved on, it was clear that they needed to sign some replacements.

And, even though Liverpool were one of the most dominant teams in the Premier League last season, some cracks started to show towards the end of their campaign, which is why the Dutchman has massively altered his first-team squad.

Last season, Liverpool managed to secure the Premier League title, and although they were eliminated in the Champions League Round of 16, it was the eventual winners, PSG, who triumphed over the Anfield outfit.

 “Liverpool were fantastic last year and deserved league winners, but I just think Arsenal defensively might be better,” he said.

“The one thing Arsenal do better than most is defend and that is why I think they might be a better option [to win the Champions League.]

“And there is nobody who complained more about Arsenal not having a centre-forward than me, and they have one now.”

As McCoist mentioned, one of the main things that held Arsenal back last term is that they didn’t have a regular-scoring number nine.

Indeed, you could say the same about Liverpool, but since Mohamed Salah was in the form of his career last term, the Reds didn’t really feel the impact of not having a regular-scoring striker.

However, these new additions didn’t stop journalist Julien Laurens from also predicting that Arsenal will win the Champions League title this term.
