Souness: Liverpool a real test of Arsenal title ambitions

Liverpool legend Graeme Souness says we'll know more about Premier League leaders Arsenal after this week.

Liverpool are their next league opponents this Sunday at the Emirates. Souness says they and Manchester City will be the biggest two tests for Arsenal.

He said on talkSPORT: “I think it's upwards and onwards for Arsenal. I think they're playing a brand of football that we're all enjoying.

“But I still come back to it, the real tests will be against Liverpool, Man City. And that in itself is a compliment because if you were talking about this a year ago, there would be seven or eight teams you could rattle off as a test for them.

“Now, the real test for them, where they want to be – which is challenging for the Premier League – the real test is when they play Liverpool or Man City, which is imminent. By saying that, and only naming two teams, that's a real compliment to Arsenal, how far down the road they've travelled."
