Arsene Wenger has given his take on Liverpool’s current situation on talkSPORT.

The former Arsenal manager believes that Liverpool are the deserve champions of England.

Wenger has also praised the Merseyside club’s manager Jurgen Klopp for his achievement at the Reds.

Wenger told talkSPORT: “Jurgen has done extremely well because that club has waited 30 years for this title.

“And when you think they have such a massive difference [points gap] to the second team, Manchester City, as well – 25 points, it’s absolutely massive.

“No matter what England will decide, Liverpool are champions in everyone’s head, I think.”

On verge of title success

Liverpool are at the top of the Premier League table at the moment with 82 points from 29 matches, as many as 25 points clear of second-placed and defending champions Manchester City, who have played 28 games.

Football in England is suspended at the moment due to the global health crisis, and it remains to be seen if and when the season gets back underway.

The Reds are only a couple of games away from winning the league title for the first time in the Premier League era.

Having guided the Merseyside outfit to Champions League success last season, manager Klopp is set to lead them to domestic league triumph.

Liverpool fans absolutely adore Klopp, and with the German in charge, the Reds can win more trophies in the coming years.
