Former Manchester United midfielder, Paul Scholes, has claimed Liverpool are “better” than title rivals Arsenal.

Speaking on The Overlap, Scholes also said the Reds are more of a threat to Premier League champions Manchester City.

Arsenal have been City’s biggest rival for the last two years, finishing runners-up two years in row behind the champions.

So far, the Gunners have taken 14 points from their opening six matches and sit third, level with Manchester City and one behind Liverpool.

Liverpool challenged for the title throughout the 2023/2024 season before falling away towards the end of Jurgen Klopp’s celebrated tenure.

Under new manager, Arne Slot, they have recorded five wins from six games.

Do you not think you’ve got a chance? I think you’re better than Arsenal, I think you’re better than Arsenal,” Scholes said to a Liverpool fan on The Overlap with Sky Bet.

“They excite me more. It’s not nice saying that but honestly, Liverpool do excite me more.

“Everything they’ve got, it feels better than Arsenal. I think Pep Guardiola might be more worried about Liverpool than Arsenal.”
