Former Blackburn Rovers star Chris Sutton has tipped Arsenal as the only team capable of challenging Liverpool for the Premier League title this season. Speaking on BBC Radio Five Live Football Daily Podcast, Sutton praised the Gunners’ potential but questioned Chelsea’s experience in mounting a title challenge.
Liverpool have had an impressive start to the season, leading the league by nine points. Arsenal, currently tied with Chelsea on 25 points in second and third place, respectively, are seen as the closest challengers.
“Arsenal, maybe they’re a team that, now Odegaard is back, are capable of catching them. I think it is only Arsenal. I don’t know if Chelsea have the experience,” Sutton stated.
The former Chelsea player also highlighted Newcastle as a potential threat, with the Magpies hosting Chelsea next, having recently beaten Arsenal.
