Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp is confident his old side are
well equipped to challenge for the Premier League title but fears Liverpool
represent the biggest threat.
The Gunners head to Anfield on Saturday, a venue at which
they have not been able to celebrate victory since 2012, top of the table
following last week’s impressive win over Brighton.
Jurgen Klopp’s side, meanwhile, slipped back into second
after they were held to a stalemate by Manchester United, surrendering their
100% record at home this season in the process.
Despite that setback, Bergkamp feels the Reds boast a squad
capable of pushing Arsenal all the way and considers them a bigger danger than
reigning champions Manchester City.
‘I think Liverpool. I’ve got a funny feeling I saw that game
against United and they showed the bench and they showed the two players who
were coming on and I was like ‘oh wait, they’ve got him and him and him’,’
Bergkamp told the Seaman says podcast
They were all injured and if they come back at the right time
they might be the biggest contenders to win.
‘It’s about managing the team through this period and then
get the advantage of it later on.’
On the progress Arsenal have made recently under Mikel
Arteta, Bergkamp added: ‘I think everything is there for them to do well.
They’re getting back to playing good football again, being dominant and
everything.
You need a little bit of help from the other teams, that’s
working out well at the moment and I learned this from the English players when
I played, that once you go past this period then it all starts.
‘Then you have an eye on the trophies you’ve got the European
games that get more tense.
‘You have to dig into your squad. They’re in contention now,
more than that, and they might win it.’
