"I think Liverpool have shown they can win the Premier League, apart from the game, they've been brilliant," Hamann told . "The team functions well, everyone is happy and psychologically, and the win against is huge. It was an even game but Liverpool came out on top, which is a massive sign of intent.

Liverpool were expected to endure a transitional season under Slot despite running Manchester City close in the title over the last few year years under Klopp.

Who do you think will win the Premier League title this year?

But that hasn't deterred Hamann, who doubled down on his prediction and even went one further by calling what the top four will look like come May. Despite Arsenal's renaissance under , Hamann reckons they'll finish behind City and Liverpool at the top, while he's also tipping their bitter rivals, , to finish in fourth.

Hamann has concerns over Arsenal due to the fact that , their first-choice No.9, is not an out-and-out striker - something he thinks that will come back to haunt them after they opted against signing another centre forward in the summer.

He added: "I've always thought that Kai Havertz is not a striker, he needs to play deeper but Arsenal have Martin Odegaard there. Havertz is a hugely talented player, his numbers are a lot better than what most people would predict. But, I think he has a lot more to offer. I hope he can come out of his shell, he can take games by the scruff of the neck.

"I don't know why Havertz is not playing behind Gabriel Jesus as a striker while Odegaard is injured. I think the Arsenal team could be much better, a big reason why they won't win the league this season is because they did not buy a centre forward in the summer."
