“Most dangerous team in Europe!” – Former Liverpool star backs Arsenal for major success this season | OneFootball

Former Liverpool Star Backs ‘Unbelievable’ Arsenal to Win the Premier League Title

Arsenal’s resurgence has been one of the standout stories of the Premier League campaign so far. After eight games, they sit proudly at the top of the table, playing with a swagger that has even the most sceptical observers standing to attention.

Their summer transfer window was nothing short of remarkable, bringing in high-calibre talents such as Cristhian Mosquera, Piero Hincapie, Martin Zubimendi, Eberechi Eze, Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres. Each addition has strengthened an already cohesive squad, and the impact is clear to see on the pitch.

In a recent exclusive with EPL Index, former Liverpool star Markus Babbel shared his admiration for what Mikel Arteta has built at the Emirates.

“For me, from the beginning, Arsenal are title favourites.”

Depth and Dominance in Every Position

What makes Arsenal so formidable this season is their depth. Babbel’s comparison highlights just how complete the squad looks.

“I haven’t seen a squad like Arsenal in my time, not even Real Madrid!”

It is a bold statement, yet difficult to argue with. Arteta has assembled two fully capable elevens that could each compete in the Premier League. Every position has genuine competition, ensuring that performances stay sharp and intensity never dips.

“They have two A-teams, I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s unbelievable.”

This rotation strength has allowed Arsenal to play at a relentless tempo, combining tactical fluidity with physical energy. Their pressing game suffocates opponents, and their balance between defence and attack has been exceptional.

Tactical Evolution Under Arteta

While Arsenal’s talent pool is impressive, the key difference this season has been the tactical maturity of Arteta’s system. His players understand every nuance of their roles, creating seamless transitions from defence to attack. Even when setbacks occur, such as their defeat at Anfield, the manager’s structure and belief remain evident.

“Their loss against Liverpool was a free-kick! They’ve only conceded three goals, wow!”

That defensive record says everything about the evolution of this team. William Saliba and Gabriel have been commanding, while new signings like Zubimendi add intelligence and control in midfield. Up front, Gyokeres and Eze provide both flair and unpredictability.

Europe’s Team to Fear

Arsenal’s resurgence is not only a domestic story. Their dominance and adaptability have made them a threat across the continent, as Babbel rightly notes.

“They’re the most dangerous team, not just in the Premier League, but in Europe.”

When an experienced figure like Babbel speaks in such glowing terms, it reflects more than temporary form. Arsenal have built a project that combines technical quality with mental resilience. They have developed a winning mentality that feels sustainable, not fleeting.

As the season progresses, maintaining this consistency will be crucial, but there is no doubt that Arsenal are now the benchmark. Their rise feels complete, and for the first time in years, the Premier League title could genuinely be heading back to North London.
