'Liverpool's strength in depth looks like it'll take them to the title'

Chris Sutton says Darwin Nunez "has nuisance value" after coming off the bench to win the game for Liverpool against Brentford on Saturday and it's Liverpool's strength of substitutes that will help them to win the league.

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club Sutton said: "Arne Slot in the week said he wasn't getting the best out of Nunez - so for him to come on and make his mark as he did do.

"It wasn't to do with proving a point, he got his opportunity - he actually had missed an easy opportunity with a header and should have hit the target.

"But he still adds nuisance value."

He added: "Arsenal should never have let it [a two goal lead] slip against Aston Villa. But, there's no doubt Liverpool's strength in depth looks like it'll take them to the title."
