Liverpool star insists Chelsea and Arsenal are title contenders

Liverpool defender Andrew Robertson believes it would be wrong to assume the Premier League title race is just between themselves and defending champions Manchester City.

A goalless draw at Anfield on Sunday meant the pair, along with Chelsea, are level on 20 points at the top of the table with Pep Guardiola’s side edging ahead courtesy of superior goal difference.

All three have yet to lose a match this season but while Liverpool have been touted as the main challengers to City, Chelsea have shown they deserve to be in the conversation.

Also, just two points behind are Arsenal – after six successive league wins in a run of nine victories in a row in all competitions – and Tottenham.

While Chelsea are unbeaten under Maurizio Sarri, Arsenal have won nine matches in a row under Unai Emery.

“We feel we can compete with any team but people seem to be just dismissing other teams and making it a two-horse race, which is not the case,” said Robertson.

“We played Chelsea last week, who were excellent. They have been on a great run.

“You see teams like Arsenal with a new manager putting great results together so there is a long way to go and there will be a lot of teams competing but we hope we are one of them.

“We can play a lot better but on days when you are not at your best it is important not to drop points. Against a very good team we managed to do that.”
