Manchester City star Riyad Mahrez has given an honest assessment of Arsenal’s Premier League title credentials this season.
Manchester City are bidding to defend the title and win the English top-flight for the fifth time in six seasons.
Pep Guardiola’s side have made a strong start to the 2022-23 campaign, amassing 29 points from their opening 12 league games.
City are currently top of the Premier League but Arsenal have the opportunity to return to the top of the Premier League this afternoon and bounce back after disappointing results against Southampton and PSV Eindhoven.
Arsenal and Tottenham are the two teams challenging reigning champions Manchester City at the top of the table, with Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool all languishing further down the table.
Despite Liverpool’s issues, Mahrez expects Jurgen Klopp’s side to challenge for the title this season and says the current top-six should also be viewed as contenders.
When assessing the Premier League title race, Mahrez told Football London: “I think Arsenal are very good. All of the top six really.
“Even Liverpool, they are away from us at the moment, but I still think they can be there at the end of the season. All the top six can challenge us for the Premier League title and all of the other trophies.”
