Arsenal have been warned that Liverpool have what it takes to win the Premier League title this season, with there being a "real psychological importance" to the clash between the two sides later this month.
's side have started the 2024/25 campaign incredibly well, having won six of their seven league games played. The Reds currently top the table, with and just one point behind them.
There's sure to be plenty of twists and turns in the title race in the coming months, however, especially as play and Arsenal in their next two fixtures. The Gunners welcome Slot's men to on Sunday, October 27 and while not a title decider, it will no doubt have some impact on who lifts the Premier League trophy come May next year.
Ahead of the return of football following the international break, former Liverpool star Jason McAteer has admitted Slot's side are title challengers, alongside Arsenal and Man City. Speaking to , McAteer said: "I think for Arne Slot, I think there's a real expectation that Liverpool can challenge this season. There's no reason why they can't. I think they've got players capable of winning it, with the right mindset to win it. They've got winners in that squad who have tasted success.
"I don't see why they cannot seriously challenge for the Premier League title. I think in the Champions League they have really good fixtures. There's an opportunity to finish in that top eight. They've got all the tough teams at home. There's no reason why they can't go deep into that competition and even win it.

"That will probably come at the expense of the domestic cups, but Slot’s got a squad to cope with that. We don’t know how injuries will affect him because he will get them at some point. It just depends on who and what areas are left a bit short.
"With what's happening with City losing Rodri, I don't see as big a fear factor with City as what we've seen in past seasons. Arsenal will be the team that worry me. They're really, really equipped this season, mentally and physically, to be real contenders.
"That’s why I think there’s a real importance to the game in a few weeks. It’s not going to decide anything, but there’s going to be a real psychological importance to whoever wins that game."
