Despite Arsenal’s valiant efforts, including a 3-1 triumph over Brentford on New Year’s Day, Keown believes Liverpool’s quality and consistency will secure them the trophy.
Arsenal’s win at Brentford propelled them to second place, narrowing the gap to league leaders Liverpool to six points. However, Liverpool holds an advantage with a game in hand.
Having come close to the title in the past two seasons, narrowly losing to Manchester City, Arsenal fans are hopeful their team can finally break through.
Speaking on TNT Sports before Arsenal’s win, Keown explained his perspective. “We all want Arsenal to lift the trophy, but Liverpool looks unstoppable,” he remarked.
Highlighting Liverpool’s attack, including the likes of Luis Díaz and Cody Gakpo, Keown pointed out the edge they have over Arsenal’s frontline.
Following Arsenal’s victory, Keown acknowledged their determination. “They’ve sent a strong message,” he said.
Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus shone during the match, contributing to the team’s energetic performance in the second half.
Keown emphasized Arsenal’s resilience, saying, “This team is alive and still fighting. They showed character and stamped their authority with two quick goals, proving they remain in contention.”
With a packed January schedule including League Cup and FA Cup fixtures, Arsenal faces a crucial test of their mettle.
Keown concluded by noting the pressure now shifts to Liverpool, as Arsenal’s persistence keeps the title race alive.
