Former Arsenal star, Theo Walcott, has named Liverpool as the team to challenge Arsenal for the Premier League title this season.

Providing his prediction for BBC Sport, Walcott said that the Reds have an excellent manager in Andoni Iraola.

He noted that Iraola could get both Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz up and running in the new season.

“Liverpool are probably the hardest team to call. Iraola is an excellent manager, and if Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz have big seasons,” Walcott said.

“They could absolutely push Arsenal for the title,” he said.

Arsenal won the Premier League last season while Liverpool finished in fifth place.
