“It is always clear” – Watch Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp makes Surprise Premier League title claim involving Chelsea and Arsenal
Arsenal and Chelsea might participate in the Premier League title chase next season, according to Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.
The teams are currently playing their last preseason games before the new season, which will begin in a few weeks.
Due to their efforts both on and off the field, the Gunners have drawn attention during preseason.
Five first-team players, including Oleksandr Zinchenko, have been acquired by Mikel Arteta’s team for a total of over £100 million.
Even in a preseason friendly played in Orlando, Florida, Arsenal defeated Chelsea with a score of 4-0. Prior to it, they had defeated Everton 2-0 in Baltimore and then defeated Orlando City 3-1 in Florida.
Klopp anticipates a competitive competition for the Premier League championship and predicts that Arsenal and Chelsea will join Liverpool and Manchester City in the mix.
Speaking to Sky Sports (via Football London), he was quoted as saying the following:
“It was always clear that these kinds of things will happen [teams closing the gap]. Arsenal did, obviously, exceptionally well. Did I mention Chelsea? Probably not.”
When compared to Liverpool and Manchester City in the Premier League last year, both London teams lagged well behind.
The Blues did place third overall, but they behind Jurgen Klopp’s second-place team by 18 points.
Arsenal, on the other hand, finished sixth last year and almost missed qualifying for the Champions League.
