Arsene Wenger admitted Liverpool is the "super favorite" to win the Premier League this season and said that Arsenal will likely have to rely on a collapse from the Reds during the run-in in order to clinch the title.

The Gunners moved to within four points of Liverpool with a 2-0 victory over Leicester City on Saturday, but Liverpool restored its seven-point advantage by beating Wolves 2-1 at Anfield on Sunday.

There were some nervy moments during the second half of that game, particularly after Matheus Cunha's goal, but Liverpool ultimately managed to hold on to clinch all three points.

"It's simple, they need to lose games but now we are 25 games played, Liverpool lost one," Wenger told beIN Sports of the likelihood of the Reds not ending up as champions.

"They have to lose three at least in the next 13 games, so at the moment it looks unlikely, unless they collapse, but until now they lost only one game, so they are the super favorite, and on top of that, Arsenal has to make the perfect one

I pray but I have to improve the quality of my praying."

With just 13 games of the season remaining for both sides, Arsenal is relying on Liverpool to drop points in at least three matches before the end of the campaign and Mikel Arteta's may well need to win all of their remaining matches, which is a particularly tall order considering the injury crisis they are experiencing in attack.

Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus, Arsenal's first and second-choice strikers, are expected to miss the remainder of the season due to hamstring and knee injuries respectively, while Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli are both some way off returning from hamstring injuries of their own.

The Gunners lined up with a front three of Ethan Nwaneri, Raheem Sterling and Leandro Trossard versus Leicester and relied on two late goals from substitute Mikel Merino to clinch a 2-0 victory.

"We really want it," Arteta told TNT Sports when asked about his message to Liverpool after Arsenal's win at the King Power Stadium

"Regardless of what happens or the difficulties we're going to face, we're going to give this a real go

We're not going to stop, let's see how far we can go."
