They are favourites — Liverpool's Mohamed Salah names team to win EPL title

Mohamed Salah has named the teams he believes will challenge them for the Premier League title this season.

Salah's 29 goals helped the Reds secure their 20th league title last season, finishing 10 points ahead of Arsenal and 13 points clear of third-placed Manchester City.

Ahead of this weekend's top-of-the-table clash against Arsenal at Anfield, where both teams have six points from their first two matches, Salah shared his thoughts with Sky Sports.

"Of course, that team," Salah said, referring to Arsenal, "I said that a few times today and also at the PFA awards. I said they are the favorites because they have played together for five, six years, so they understand each other’s game and they have had the same manager for five, six years.

"When the team has stuck together for that long, they know each other’s game, so it becomes easier for them. But other teams like us and Manchester City are changing a lot of players, which is sometimes tricky."

However, he then clarified his top pick for the season. "But again, with a team led by Pep Guardiola, they are always the favorites. But of course, in my opinion, this year Arsenal are number one."

Salah will be looking to win a record-setting fifth Golden Boot, breaking the tie with Arsenal legend Thierry Henry.
