Peter Crouch makes Premier League title prediction and names the best defender he faced | Football

A resurgent Arsenal embarked on an eight-match winning streak to ensure they went into the international break at the top of the table with ten games remaining of the campaign.

The Gunners travel to champions Manchester City for what promises to be a titanic battle at the Etihad this weekend, while Liverpool welcome Brighton to Anfield.

At the start of the season, Crouch backed Klopp to add a second Premier League title to his impressive trophy haul on Merseyside, despite Pep Guardiola’s City riding high off the back of a historic treble last term.

Speaking to talkSPORT this week, the former Liverpool and England striker said he was sticking with his initial prediction, but applauded Arsenal for the way in which they had bounced back from an immensely challenging winter period.

‘The amount of games that Arsenal have played where they have just won so convincingly… if they get their injured players back then it’s definitely a three-horse race.

‘But I’m going to stick with Liverpool. I still think they can do it.’

Moving on to his own career during the wide-ranging chat, Crouch reeled off a long list of legendary defenders he faced during his playing days.

But the ex-England international said Chelsea great John Terry was ‘probably the best of the bunch’.

‘I always remember getting schooled by Tony Adams in one of my first games,’ Crouch added.
