EPL: Arne Slot snubs Arsenal, names team to challenge Liverpool for title

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has dismissed Arsenal as title contenders and instead named Chelsea as the team to challenge for the Premier League title this season. Slot, who previously tipped Chelsea as contenders last season, believes the Blues, who finished fourth last term, have the quality to wrestle the crown from Liverpool.

The Dutchman is preparing for his first campaign as Liverpool boss and is already looking ahead to the challenge posed by Chelsea. Slot emphasized the importance of squad depth and quality in winning the title, pointing out that the season is long and that the title race could still be open in December.

He expressed confidence in his team's ability to defend their title but acknowledged the ambition of Chelsea in retaining the trophy.
