Paul Merson backed his former club to win at Liverpool Anfield this Sunday.
Arsenal are currently eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table, ahead of Pep Guardiola side’s who have played a game less.
Mikel Arteta’s side are many people’s favourites to end their 19-year wait for a league title, and Merson believes that the clash at Liverpool will decide their fate.
Merson said:
‘This game is a worry for Arsenal. Liverpool did not play [Mohamed] Salah, [Virgil] Van Dijk, [Andy] Robertson, or [Trent] Alexander-Arnold against Chelsea.

‘Jurgen Klopp could be saving these players for Arsenal. I’d be shocked if they don’t play this game.
It seems like the Arsenal game at home is more important to Jurgen Klopp, and that would worry me as an Arsenal fan.
‘If Arsenal win this game, I think they win the Premier League.
They still have a game against an excellent Newcastle side, but Arsenal won’t have to beat them if they can get the better of Liverpool.
‘If they win this game, they would have to have a major meltdown to lose the title race.
‘Jurgen Klopp wants his Liverpool side to play a certain way, and his team doesn’t have the legs to pull it off at the moment.
It wasn’t too long ago that Liverpool were smashing Manchester United at home.
‘This is going to be a difficult game for Arsenal, and a victory here would seal the Premier League title for me.’
