Van Persie: Liverpool can take over from Man City

Former Arsenal and Manchester United striker Robin van Persie can see Liverpool dominating the Premier League.

Despite missing out on the title this season, Van Persie believes the Reds will recover.

“Now you have Manchester City, who are doing unbelievable. To win back-to-back titles is very special - that shows, really, that you're a proper team," Van Persie said.

“But it goes in phases. Maybe [City manager] Pep Guardiola will leave next year and that does something to a club. Maybe Liverpool will take over and they will dominate for the next few years. But I hope and wish Arsenal all the best to win the title. I know how difficult it is."
