Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen has predicted the final Premier League standings for next season and seems to think highly of Arsenal.
The Gunners ended the last campaign in second position and may have won the Premier League if they did not suffer a late-season collapse.
The club wants to build on that and has bolstered its squad with some very fine players.
They would be confident that the likes of Kai Havertz and Declan Rice will help them improve their performance in the next campaign.
Manchester City remains the overwhelming favourite to win the league after their superb form in all competitions last season.
However, the real battle is among the clubs that will finish inside the top four and Owen predicts that Arsenal will finish in the second position again.
The ex- striker’s top four, as revealed by the Daily Mail is:
-
- Manchester City
- Arsenal
- Liverpool
- Manchester United
Just Arsenal Opinion
We have done well on the transfer front and should comfortably challenge for the league title again.
However, we do not expect the season to be easier than the last one because most clubs now consider us a top side and will be serious about any game they will face us.

Why do you rate Newcastle that much.

Arsenal or Liverpool
Something is still lacking in Arsenal. Teams continue to target the left side of their defense and Arteta seems to have too much faith in Havertz and Vieira; 2 controversal players with not much to offer.
Arsenal can get top 4 if Partey always features alongside Rice. If not, forget. Arteta must also favor ESR over Havertz and Vieira for better performance. SR would be a 70M player if he featured regularly.
The value of players dimiminishes when they don’t play often: something Arteta ignores deliberately
I predict that if Arsenal can beat City Sunday that they will win the league and possibly the CL.
I think Man City will be affected by the loss of Ilkay Gundogan and Riyad Mahrez, leaving KDB with too much to do.

My take has been and is , if Arsenal signs a world class no 9 and Zichenko helper they will win the trophy. But if not we are finishing in third position.
There are very few really great strikers around and given how much has been spent it is unlikely we will get one now. It is worth noting that we scored a lot of goals last season and we still have goal threats right across the frontline.
The loss of Xhaka may be more of a issue.
O ye faithless gunners! Come May 2024 Arsenal will lift the EPL trophy and UCL.
Man City
Man Utd/Arsenal (2nd and 3rd dogfight).

Based off the business those clubs have done so far. Man Utd will the biggest threat to last seasons top 2. Liverpool have not currently done enough to address the holding Midfield position after losing Henderson and Fabinho plus their defense still looks shoddy too.
