Steven Gerrard has finally revealed his second-favourite club in the Premier League — and it’s a surprising choice.
While Arsenal F.C. edge closer to their first title since 2004 under Mikel Arteta, and Liverpool F.C. fall short of mounting a serious defence of last season’s crown, Gerrard has made an unexpected admission.
Currently without a job after leaving Al-Ettifaq, Gerrard has been loosely linked by fans with a possible return to Anfield if pressure continues to mount on Arne Slot.
With Liverpool no longer in the title race, Gerrard admitted there is one team he wouldn’t mind seeing win the league — Newcastle United F.C..
Reflecting on his career while touring Anfield, he pointed out that Newcastle have quietly become his “number two” club.
He said it felt fitting to be in their dressing room, adding that aside from Liverpool, they are the side he’d most like to see crowned champions — a confession he admitted he had never made publicly before.
Meanwhile, pressure continues to grow on Slot following Liverpool’s frustrating draw with Tottenham Hotspur F.C.. Despite speculation, Gerrard has made it clear he does not want the manager replaced, insisting he hopes Slot can turn things around.
However, he reiterated that he would always be ready to support Liverpool in any capacity if needed.
Slot now faces a pivotal clash against Galatasaray S.K. in the Champions League, with his future potentially hanging in the balance if results don’t improve.
