Liverpool star rates Arsenal’s title chances
Liverpool defender Robertson has given his thoughts on Arsenal’s title chances following the Reds’ 1-0 victory over second-placed Man City on Sunday, which allowed the Gunners to open up a four-point gap over Pep Guardiola’s side.
Arteta’s outfit have now won nine of their first 10 Premier League fixtures of the season to put themselves within a real chance of achieving something special this campaign, with Robertson acknowledging how impressive they’ve been so far.
He said: "For the last three or four years, it’s always been us and Man City in one and two. Now other teams are getting involved, Arsenal look amazing this season, Tottenham look a different animal, Chelsea are getting going again, Man United. Those teams are trying to close the gap in terms of quality, but we’re too far behind to focus on that just now.”

Arteta’s winning machine so nearly came unstuck at Elland Road and Leeds deserved at least a point for their display, but the Gunners just about held on thanks to a combination of Aaron Ramsdale ’s heroics in goal, Gabriel’s resolute defending, VAR and luck.
