Whether they like to admit it or not, Liverpool are now firm favourites for the Premier League title.
Indeed, Liverpool are nine points clear at the top of the league, and the title is pretty much theirs to lose.
Jamie Redknapp named Liverpool as title favourites a few weeks ago, and since then, their position has only become stronger.
However, Arne Slot isn’t resting on his laurels just yet, and speaking to BBC 606, the Liverpool boss has shared just how aware he is of the threats around him.
Slot says that he’s worried about Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City, going as far as to say that Arsenal and City capable of winning every single game until the end of the season.

Arsenal could win every game from here
Slot says that Arsenal and City are capable of winning every game from here on in, while he also thinks Chelsea are capable of going on a run.
Arsenal have dropped plenty of points so far this season, but after three triumphant wins in a row recently, the Gunners look to be back to their best.
“It’s a good position to be in, but I know and you guys know even better than me because you are in this league much longer than I am, you guys know that Arsenal and City are able to win every single game from now until the end,” Slot said.
“And I’ve seen Chelsea playing here and now for the last few results as well, they’ve invested so much money that it’s not weird that they are where they are at the moment.
“So they’re also, in my opinion, able to win almost every game. So that makes the Premier League so interesting for every fan in and around the world.
“There are so many good teams and it’s never done. I’ve said it earlier, last season there was a big difference in points, I think already in February between Arsenal and City, and they were still able to come back.”
Premier League longest winning streaks
Slot says that Arsenal could win every game from now until the end of the season, but that would be a totally unheard of achievement.
Indeed, the longest winning streak in Premier League history stands at 18 games, and if Arsenal were to win every game from now until the end of the season, their winning run would stretch to 27.
Longest winning streaks in Premier League history Games won in a row
1. Manchester City – 2017 18
2. Liverpool – 2019 17
3. Manchester City – 2019 15
4. Arsenal – 2002 14
5. Chelsea 2016/17 13
Arsenal have been brilliant over the past few weeks, with Martin Odegaard earning plenty of praise since his return, but to win 27 games in a row is a ridiculous run.
In fact, that would be one of the longest winning streaks in club football history.

2. TNS – 2016 27
3. TNS – 2023/23 & Ajax – 1971/72 26
5. Ajax – 1995 25
Ashley Cole doesn’t think Arsenal can win the league, but Arne Slot clearly still believes the Gunners are a massive threat.
One thing is for sure, there are still plenty of twists and turns left in this title race.
