Former Scotland international, Ally McCoist, has made a u-turn on his prediction over the Premier League title race.

McCoist had tipped Liverpool to retain the trophy they won in Arne Slot’s first season in England.

But ironically, he had a change of heart after the Reds beat Arsenal 1-0 at Anfield.

“At the start of the season when we did our predictions, I fancied Liverpool – I really did,” McCoist said.

“I thought with the window they had, they strengthened really well.

“But bizzarely after Szoboszlai scored that goal to beat Arsenal, I have a sneaky feeling for Arsenal.

“I just think defensively, I look at the two centre-backs, even Mosquera that came on, I like him, David Raya is good goalie.”

Ahead of this weekend’s games, Liverpool remain top of the table with 15 points, two more than Arsenal.
