Glenn Hoddle: 'Arsenal will boast as fearful attack as Liverpool of last season'

Glenn Hoddle believes that Arsenal could boast a strikeforce just as fearful as the one that helped Liverpool score 100 goals in the Premier League last season.

The former England boss feels that a forward line of Danny Welbeck, Alexis Sanchez and the returning Theo Walcott could provide the same threat as Luis Suarez, Daniel Sturridge and Raheem Sterling did last campaign for the Reds.

Hoddle believes that the pace possessed by the trio will strike fear into hearts of opposing defences.

He told the Daily Mail: "Sanchez has clearly become one of the stars of the Premier League in the five months he has been here and with Theo Walcott on the verge of returning, Arsene Wenger will soon be able to field a front three of Walcott, Sanchez and Danny Welbeck.

"That is a forward line with as much pace and which will inspire almost as much fear as Liverpool's front three from last season: Luis Suarez, Daniel Sturridge and Sterling."

Arsenal and Liverpool meet at Anfield in their Premier League match on Sunday afternoon.
