Scholes: Liverpool's Revival Under Slot Has Manchester City on High Alert
Paul Scholes has lavished praise on Liverpool, asserting that Arne Slot's impressive start at Anfield has made the Reds a more formidable threat to Manchester City's dominance.
"[Liverpool's midfield] have got legs," Scholes remarked on the Stick To Football podcast. "When they played against [Manchester] United at Old Trafford, I thought, 'Wow, they look like a fit team' - and there's quality with it as well."
Scholes highlighted the synergy between Liverpool's midfield and attack, stating, "The three in the middle of the pitch with the forwards they've got in front of them, it doesn't matter [who they've got in midfield] - it's that saying, 'You're only as good as your forwards are'. They've got five or six forwards who are special. That middle of the pitch doesn't become as important."
The Manchester United legend also tipped Liverpool as a stronger contender than Arsenal, noting, "I think Liverpool's squad is better than Arsenal's. I think Pep Guardiola will be more worried about Liverpool than Arsenal."
Scholes' assessment underscores Liverpool's resurgence under Slot and the potential threat they pose to Manchester City's title aspirations.
