It seems that Arsenal is getting all the attention in the media when discussing the team to challenge Manchester City for the title whilst Liverpool are going under the radar. This is probably because Arsenal finished a close second to Manchester City last season. But it must be remembered that Liverpool finished a point behind Manchester City two seasons ago with 92 points whilst challenging for the quadruple. Also, the current Liverpool squad contains many players from that season and some were part of the Premier League and Champions League winning sides. Klopp seems to have a greater prowess of taking a team close to/winning a title.
In addition, Liverpool have had more difficult fixtures this season, they have played four of the big six (+ Newcastle) away whereas Arsenal have only played two and are still yet to play Manchester City away.
I listened to no less than three Athletic podcasts over the past two weeks that suggested that the title race is between Liverpool and City. This straw man nonsense is ridiculous.
