The ex-Liverpool defender has tipped Arsenal as the favourites to lift the trophy this year amid Liverpool's recent four-match winless streak.Arne Slot's team responded in style in the Champions League, thrashing Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1, and they have a chance to halt their Premier League slump when they face Brentford this weekend. He puts them favourites to take the pressure off Liverpool, a little bit, there's a little bit of that."But we all sit here and say, who's going to win the league and we're all going to say Arsenal now and that's putting pressure on them."Scott, who had previously backed Chelsea to clinch the title, remained steadfast in her prediction.
