Ipswich Town midfielder Kalvin Phillips has expressed confidence in Arsenal's ability to challenge Liverpool in the Premier League title race.
Speaking to Amazon Prime after Ipswich's 1-0 defeat to Arsenal on Friday night, Phillips remarked, "They are a really good team, really strong. I think Liverpool are the standout team so far but I think Arsenal are the ones who will push them in the end."
The match, held at the Emirates Stadium, was decided by a 23rd-minute goal from Kai Havertz, who converted a cross from Leandro Trossard.
Reflecting on the game, Phillips noted Arsenal's dominance in possession and chance creation: "Arsenal are a very good team and they had a lot of the ball, created a few chances. We created a few in the second half but we just need that extra bit of special play at the end."
He added, "It’s always difficult coming to Arsenal and we didn’t have much to lose: 1-0 so we came out and tried to force them into mistakes in the second half."
This victory elevates Arsenal to second place in the Premier League standings, now six points behind leaders Liverpool.
