Jurgen Klopp expects five teams to battle Liverpool for the Premier League title this season.
The Reds dominated their way to the top flight crown last season, finishing with 99 points, 18 ahead of Man City in second place, and confidently dispatched Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge last weekend after. from a frantic 4-3 win against Leeds on opening day.
Liverpool take on Arsenal on Monday and Klopp was asked if unusual conditions following the coronavirus outbreak, such as a lack of supporters within stadiums, give teams like the Gunners a better chance of winning the title.
“I don’t think Arsenal is a very good example because last year they were eighth but they didn’t have enough time to fix the situation but, in my opinion, they were not the eighth best team in the league,” he replied. .
“I think they would have easily qualified for a place in the Europa League, if not, Chelsea.
“It is good news that they have the European midweek matches also because otherwise with the quality they have they would have an advantage in different situations.
“The Premier League and these teams with what they do is too much and too good for the season not to be decided before it starts, so it doesn’t just work like that.
“People thought that Man City would have some difficulties in Wolves because the Wolves are really good, but you look at the game and the first half looked like it always did, but the second half was obviously better and you could have gotten a point if you wanted these things.
