Do not count them out: Arsenal backed to beat Liverpool to Premier League title

Liverpool hold a six-point lead at the top of the Premier League table, but former Chelsea striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink believes the title race is far from over.

Hasselbaink insists that there is one club still capable of catching Arne Slot's Reds as we head into the second half of the season.

"I don't think the title race is over yet," Hasselbaink told betMGM.

"Yes, it's going to be hard [to catch Liverpool], but if Arsenal, and it's only Arsenal in my eyes, can go on a run, then you never know."

Hasselbaink acknowledges that Liverpool's lead is significant, but he's confident that the Reds will experience a dip in form at some point.

"Liverpool will go through a sticky patch, it always happens," he said. "It's then a case of how close can Arsenal get to them?"

While other teams, such as Nottingham Forest and Chelsea, have been touted as potential title contenders, the former Netherlands forward believes that Arsenal are the only team with a realistic chance of catching Liverpool.

The Gunners remain in contention for the title and will be galvanised by their 5-1 win over Manchester City last weekend.
