Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has spoke about Arsenal's title hopes after their Premier League win at Anfield

Steven Gerrard has argued that Arsenal’s win over Liverpool is evidence they are more than capable of defending their Premier League crown. The Anfield legend has also made clear which club he believes will win the league title this term.

Arsenal claimed a 1-0 win over Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday afternoon to move three points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table.

Mikel Arteta’s side will host Hull City at the weekend in their final match before the November international break, where they could extend their lead at the top of the league standings even further.

The Gunners were beaten by Brighton before the last international break in September, but have since responded with four consecutive wins in the Premier League.

Gerrard was impressed with what he saw from Arsenal in the win over his former club, with the Liverpool legend explaining why the Gunners have shown they are capable of winning the title once again.

"They [Liverpool] shot themselves in the foot, because there was no need to concede that early goal,” Gerrard said on Monday’s episode of The Overlap. "But they had the [Alexis] Mac Allister chance to get level, and obviously the penalty incident is big. Alisson makes a save.

"I thought, on the balance of the whole game, 1-0 would have been a fair result, but credit to Arsenal.

"That's how you win leagues, going to places like Liverpool, being strong, sticking together, and putting in a different type of performance, which was full of grit and fight and togetherness, and they got over the line.

"And they will know that come the end of the season, if they win the league, which I think they will, I haven't changed my mind from the beginning of the season, they will look back at that more than your four or five-nils where they look fantastic, because I'm sure they will at times.

"They'll look at that and think, we went to Anfield, tough crowd to play against, tough Liverpool performance, Andoni Iraola's got this Liverpool team playing an awful lot better, Liverpool played well and we managed to get out of there with three points.

"Could be huge for Arsenal. At this moment in time, nine points behind for Liverpool. So, Liverpool have got work to do if they want to challenge. But this Arsenal team just look as if they can beat teams in different ways. I think that could be the difference."
