Michael Owen insists Liverpool remain Arsenal’s biggest Premier League title challengers despite their 2-1 defeat to Manchester United on Sunday.

The loss to United at Anfield is the third consecutive defeat in the Premier League for Liverpool this season and has left Arne Slot’s side four points behind leaders Arsenal.

However, despite losing to their rivals, Owen is adamant that Liverpool should not panic about their performance and believes Arsenal will still view the reigning Premier League champions as their biggest threat.

‘As long as you’re creating the chances, then Liverpool will be okay,’ Owen told Premier League Productions.

‘I don’t look at Liverpool and think, ‘wow, this is a team that are really lacking’, I actually think quite the opposite, they played quite well, Manchester United did really well themselves, full credit to Manchester United, everyone will be hurt in the Liverpool dressing room, the fans will go home a little bit unhappy, but I still think they’ve got a lot to look forward to.
