Manchester City and Arsenal are the frontrunners for the Premier League title this season, with Liverpool slightly behind.
The big question is whether this could be the year Arsenal finally breaks their long-standing title drought. Last season, Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City secured their fourth consecutive league title, but the gap between them and Arsenal was a mere two points.
This summer, Arsenal made significant moves in the transfer market, which, combined with the possibility of a slight dip in City’s form reminiscent of the 2019/20 season, could pave the way for Arsenal to claim the title.
Manchester City
Last season, Manchester City emerged as champions once again. Predictions suggest they might clinch the title this season too.
The best starting lineup includes Ederson, Walker, Stones, Dias, Ake, Rodri, De Bruyne, Foden, Bobb, Grealish, and Haaland. However, some City fans predict a second-place finish for their team, with Arsenal potentially overtaking them.
The anticipation for the season is mixed, especially with Guardiola possibly entering his final season. After securing four consecutive titles and other major trophies, key players are either leaving or nearing the end of their peak, which, coupled with ongoing FA charges, suggests that the 2024/25 season might bring significant changes for the club.
Arsenal
Arsenal finished second last season, and expectations are high once again. Their best lineup includes Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber, Jorginho, Rice, Odegaard, Saka, Martinelli, and Havertz. Although Arsenal fans hope for a first-place finish, they recognize the challenge of surpassing City.
There’s optimism among Arsenal supporters, who believe their team can push City to the limit again this season, but City’s consistency remains a formidable obstacle.
Liverpool is expected to finish third, but without Jurgen Klopp, there’s some doubt about their title chances. Arne Slot will need time to adjust, and Liverpool’s lack of transfer activity could be concerning, though they are still likely to be the best of the rest.
Arsenal fans are eager to see their team sign a top striker like Alexander Isak, who they believe could complete their squad. With renewed hope and a strengthened squad, Arsenal fans are excited about the prospect of finally ending their Premier League title drought.
