"There’s something about Arsenal I really like. Liverpool boss Arne Slot embraces Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta (Image: Getty Images) "The test for them, as I’m sure many people will say, is now that they’re top of the table, how are they going to handle that?" While James was full of praise for the way that Arteta has his side playing this season, he still doesn't think it has enough to get over the line.



"Last season they played 14 Champions League games which meant they played 14 Premier League games before those fixtures and they only won four and it appeared that there was a definite focus on the Champions League. "Maybe that was because Liverpool started to run away with the title race quite early, but there seemed to be a lot of emphasis on the Champions League more so than the Premier League, especially towards the end of the season, where there was a chance of obviously getting to the final.

"I don’t think Arsenal will win the title if that’s an answer, even if they’ve started well. "But it will be interesting with Arteta to see how he handles qualification for the Champions League and maintain that top position in the Premier League, and I don’t think they’ll be able to do it." Liverpool.com says: Arsenal hasn't got over the line before but it will never have a better chance.
