Paul Merson Changes Premier League Title Prediction to Liverpool Amid Record Transfer Spending

Paul Merson has revised his Premier League title prediction, shifting support from Arsenal to Liverpool following the Reds' record-breaking summer transfer window. Liverpool bolstered their squad with several top players, including the British transfer record signing of striker Alexander Isak from Newcastle for £125 million. Despite Arsenal's strong start to the season and recent comfortable performance at Anfield, Merson believes Liverpool's transfer business and overall squad strength make them favorites to defend their title. He noted that Liverpool has yet to reach full form and praised their new acquisitions as high-quality additions that will enhance their chances. Arsenal, meanwhile, have also strengthened their squad but have finished as runners-up for the past three seasons. Merson's change of heart reflects the dramatic impact of Liverpool's transfer activity on the title race dynamics.
