Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has tipped Arsenal to challenge for the title this season, after the Gunners moved within two points of the top of the Premier League.

Klopp's Liverpool lie third on goal difference, after Sunday's 0-0 draw with leaders Manchester City moved both sides onto 20 points, the same number as Chelsea.

Tottenham are a place further back, also just two points adrift, and when asked whether he agreed that the title race was wide open, Klopp said: "Absolutely! I knew this before.
