Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has shared his thoughts on this season’s Premier League title race, revealing which team he believes is best placed to lift the trophy.

Arsenal visit Anfield this weekend in a clash between two early Premier League title contenders.

Both sides have perfect records, with Tottenham the only other team yet to drop points.

Liverpool started their campaign in style with a 4-2 win over Bournemouth on opening day before snatching a dramatic victory at Newcastle on Monday, courtesy of a stunning 100th-minute winner from 16-year-old debutant Rio Ngumoha.

Despite their attacking firepower, defensive frailties remain a concern for the Reds.

They have scored seven goals in their first two fixtures but conceded four, drawing criticism for their vulnerability on the counter-attack.

Arsenal, yet to concede, followed a narrow win over Manchester United with a 5-0 thrashing of Leeds United.

Speaking ahead of the game, Salah told Sky Sports: “Of course that team, I said that a few times today and also at the PFA awards, I said like they are the favourites, because they have a team play together for five, six years, so they understand each other’s game and they have a manager also with the team for five, six years.

“When the team has stuck together for that long, they know each other’s game, so it becomes easier for them.

“But other teams like us and Manchester City changing a lot of players, which is sometimes tricky.

“But again like team with Pep Guardiola, they are always the favourites.

“But of course in my opinion this year Arsenal is number one.”
