Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has delivered an honest verdict on Arsenal and Manchester City's Premier League title fight this season. The Gunners lead the way at the top of the table, five points ahead of the reigning champions, after their win against Everton on Wednesday night.
The Merseyside outfit have been City's main challengers in recent years, winning the Premier League title back in 2019 ahead of Pep Guardiola's side. Liverpool now find themselves having been surpassed by the likes of Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester United as they continue to fight for a top four spot heading towards the end of the season.
Mikel Arteta has led his side to the top of the table as the title race heats up ahead of a crucial run of fixtures in March and April. Arsenal will look to maintain their advantage over City this weekend with the Gunners set to face relegation-threatened Bournemouth, as Guardiola's team come up against a tough test in Newcastle.

Liverpool are mounting a late charge to finish in the top four after a poor season by their standards, currently sat sixth and well below where they are expected to be given their success in recent seasons. Klopp has now offered his honest verdict on the title race between Arsenal and City, admitting he couldn't be 'less interested' in other teams challenging at the top of the table.
Speaking ahead of the Reds' clash against United this weekend, Klopp said: “Arsenal, my God. They are flying and having results and playing really good football.
"I respect that a lot. Man City is Man City, playing good football and are there as well.”
The Gunners must find a way to deal with the return of Europa League action this month as Arteta looks to welcome back Gabriel Jesus in a boost to his squad. City have the best squad in England considering their immense quality in depth, but Arsenal will be hoping they can continue to hurdle all the obstacles thrown their way and win the Premier League title for the first time in nearly 20 years.
