Steven Gerrard has warned Liverpool that five clubs will be pushing them for the Premier League title. He believes Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester City are bound to make it tough, but added that Newcastle United and Aston Villa will also be in the mix.
Gerrard said on TNT Sports that the Premier League is the most difficult league in the world, and it will be hard for his former side to retain the title. He spoke highly of Chelsea and Arsenal, and also backed Manchester City to come back stronger with Rodri back in action. He said via METRO:
Steven Gerrard played 17 seasons in the Premier League for Liverpool but failed to win the title. He managed Aston Villa in the English top flight after his stint at Rangers.
Gary Neville was on The Overlap in May and predicted Arsenal would win the Premier League title next season. He has backed the Gunners in the last two seasons, but believes that it is Mikel Arteta‘s side will come out victorious in the 2025-26 season. He said via Football365:
Arsenal have finished second in the last three seasons. They are without a major trophy under Mikel Arteta in the last five seasons since winning the FA Cup in 2020.
