As the Premier League title race heats up, former Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha has thrown his weight behind Liverpool as the clear favorites to lift the trophy this season.

Speaking on BBC’s Final Score, Onuoha lauded Liverpool’s dominance and consistency under manager Arne Slot, noting their commanding lead at the top of the table. With Arsenal trailing by several points despite playing an extra game, Onuoha believes the Gunners face an uphill battle to challenge the relentless Reds.

“Liverpool deserve to be where they are,” said the 38-year-old. “That’s why a lot of people can’t see a drop-off big enough to put their title hopes in real jeopardy.”

The former City defender’s confidence in Liverpool reflects their impressive form, which has left many fans and pundits in awe. While Arsenal have delivered strong performances this season, the gap at the summit appears insurmountable as the season reaches its decisive phase.

For Onuoha, the question isn’t if Liverpool will win the title, but rather when they will seal their dominance and lift the coveted Premier League trophy come May.
