Legendary Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, has admitted that Liverpool are “super favourites” to win the Premier League title this season.
The Reds beat Wolves 2-1 in a tense game at Anfield on Sunday.
This result meant that Arne Slot’s men re-established their seven-point lead over second-placed Arsenal.
The Gunners had scored two late goals to win 2-0 at Leicester City the day before and are keeping themselves close to the leaders.
Wenger, who won three Premier League titles with Arsenal, is “praying” for a slip up on Merseyside, but admits it may already be too late for his old side.
“It is simple, they [Liverpool] need to lose games,” Wenger told beIN Sports.
“But we are 25 games played, Liverpool have lost one. So they have to lose three at least in the next 13 games so at the moment it looks unlikely.
“Unless they [Liverpool] collapse but until now they have lost just one game. So for now they are the super favourites.
“And on top of that, Arsenal have to make a perfect run. So I pray but I have to improve the quality of my praying.”
