Iraola Says Too Soon for Title Talk as in-Form Liverpool Welcome Arsenal
Iraola said Liverpool need more league wins before title talk as a five-match run has lifted them within three points of Arsenal.
- On Sunday, Liverpool hosts Arsenal at Anfield in a pivotal Premier League match, with the fourth-placed Reds aiming to close a six-point gap on the league leaders.
- Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola downplayed his strong record against Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, emphasizing that past success with Bournemouth carries little weight in this encounter.
- The visitors arrive following a shock midweek Carabao Cup exit to League Two side Fleetwood Town, while the Reds enter on a five-match winning streak including Wednesday's penalty shootout victory over Chelsea.
- Pundits Jamie Carragher and Ian Wright offered conflicting predictions, with Carragher backing Liverpool 2-1 and Wright saying, "I think we beat them," citing the match's significance for Liverpool's title credentials.
- A victory would move Liverpool within three points of the top, though Iraola cautioned it remains too early to assess title standings as Manchester City faces Brighton on Saturday.
