Overview

• Jamie Carragher told Sky Sports that Liverpool may have the stronger starting XI but Arsenal possess the best overall squad and a real chance to win the title.
• Roy Keane said Arsenal can win the Premier League this season after their recruitment, adding that pressure is building as they host Manchester City.
• Liverpool remain top with five wins from five under Arne Slot after last month’s 1-0 victory over Arsenal at Anfield.
• Arsenal added Eberechi Eze, Martin Zubimendi, Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres as immediate options, with further depth from Christian Norgaard, Cristhian Mosquera, Kepa Arrizabalaga and Piero Hincapie.
• Liverpool’s overhaul featured about £450m of spending on 10 signings, including record deals for Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak, while Arsenal trail by six points despite what Carragher called a bench as strong as their XI even with Odegaard, Havertz and Jesus out.
