Arsene Wenger compares Arsenal and Liverpool squads

Arsène Wenger has once again commented on Arsenal’s prospects of winning the Premier League this season, insisting that the Gunners possess the most complete squad in England. Despite having one of the strongest squads in the country over the past three seasons, Arsenal further strengthened their roster in the recent transfer window, adding quality players who have enhanced the team’s depth and versatility.

The improvements have elevated Arsenal’s squad to a level that many believe positions them as favourites to compete for both domestic and European honours, including the Premier League and the Champions League. While Liverpool remains one of their primary competitors in the Premier League, having won the title last season and made record-breaking acquisitions over the summer, Wenger maintains that Arsenal’s balance across all positions gives them a distinct advantage.

Wenger on Squad Depth

Wenger highlighted the contrast between the two squads, using Liverpool’s recent performances as an example of potential vulnerabilities. Speaking via Metro Sport, he said:

“‘At the back they have [Cristhian] Mosquera, down the flanks and at the back they have replacements. [Myles] Lewis-Skelly doesn’t get in the team at the moment and he’s an England international. I think they have the most complete squad. Compare them with Liverpool, I watched them against Chelsea and [Dominik] Szoboszlai was at right-back and [Ryan] Gravenberch was centre back. Arsenal would not be in that kind of position.’”

Wenger’s analysis underlines the importance of squad depth and positional coverage, factors that are crucial for sustaining performance across multiple competitions. By having quality options available for each position, Arsenal can adapt to injuries, suspensions, and tactical demands without compromising the overall effectiveness of the team.
