Liverpool are likely out of the Premier League title race before it has even begun after losing against Arsenal at Anfield on Sunday. The Reds have already faced last season’s top two this term, but having been beaten by both the Gunners and Manchester City on home turf, a Champions League finish looks like being the limit for them in 2026/27.Not according to former Liverpool winger Jermaine Pennant, it isn’t.

They might have lost against Arsenal, but Pennant has claimed that he saw enough from Andoni Iraola’s team to suggest that they can challenge for the Premier League trophy, and if it were not for a ‘stupid’ Alisson Becker mistake, they might just have beaten Arsenal on Sunday.Liverpool have a LOT of attacking options and someone has to miss out 👀 What front three would you select? Pennant frustrated by Alisson mistake Despite losing, there were definitely positives for Liverpool on Sunday.

For 30 minutes in the first-half they absolutely battered Arsenal, and had they scored the result would surely have been different. A title challenge will likely be beyond them, but if they can cut out the silly errors and become more clinical in the final third, the signs are there that this Liverpool team do have more levels to reach.
