Liverpool Boss Benitez Insists Arsenal's Premier League Hopes Not Over

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has claimed that he is not willing to accept that Arsenal are not threats to their Premier League title dreams this season, even though Arsene Wenger’s men have already lost four games in the Premiership this season.

Currently Chelsea lead the league table on goal difference followed by the Reds, with the Gunners nine points behind the league leaders, which have raised many doubts regarding their title ambitions.

However, the former Valencia coach insists that it too early to rule out Arsene Wenger's side and highlights the fact that Liverpool are still to play the North London club twice.

Benitez said: "It is too early for me. They have enough quality in the squad. We still have to play them (twice) and they have to play the other top sides in the second half of the season.

"It is a difficult situation for them because they have three teams ahead of them but it is too early to rule them out."
