The Great Debate: Who will win the Premier League title this season? 🏆 | OneFootball

There’s a huge game coming our way from the Premier League on Saturday when Manchester City host Liverpool.

The match pits 1st vs 2nd, and both clubs are expected to be in contention to win the title until the very end of the season.

But who will end up as champions this year? Our writers made their predictions in the summer, and now they are being given the chance to revise them. Let us know what YOU think in the comments.

I had the rather hot take in the summer that Manchester City wouldn’t even finish in the top two, with Arsenal going on to be champions and Liverpool finishing second. But I’m allowed to change my mind, and that’s what I’ve done.

I don’t think City have been at their absolute best so far this season, yet they’re top of the league at the time of writing, and I feel like their ceiling is higher than their competitors this season.

If Pep Guardiola’s side are still top or within touching distance of the summit in the second half of the season, I would expect Kevin De Bruyne’s return from injury to spark one of those mad winning runs, and come the end of the season they will become the first club ever to lift a fourth consecutive Premier League title.

It seemed inconceivable during their summer of transition, but Liverpool are already looking like a firm option to claim their second Premier League crown.

With an ageing midfield replenished, Darwin Núñez finding form and both Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah at the peak of their powers, Anfield may finally get its long-awaited title party.

City, however, have previous with challenging such perceptions by putting together unrelenting late runs to deny Jürgen Klopp’s side in 2018/19 and Arsenal last season.

Whether Pep Guardiola can produce another such masterstroke is likely to again be the deciding factor but the margins will still be tight between these two heavyweights.

Going to have to keep this debate interesting despite us all knowing City are going to win it, aren’t I?

But if Guardiola’s men do slip up, last year’s runners-up Arsenal are handily placed to take advantage.

The Gunners haven’t started the season playing the free-flowing, attractive football of last but they look like a team built to control games, and that 1-0 win over Manchester City in October was a huge mental barrier overcome.

If Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli can stay fit, Arsenal will be in this race until the latter part of spring.

Having nailed my colours firmly to the Ange Postecoglou Tottenham revolution before a ball was kicked, I can’t desert them now after such an impressive start can I?

If, and admittedly this is a gargantuan if, they can navigate the upcoming period where they will be without the likes of James Maddison and Micky van de Ven through injury and not drop too many points then they will very much have solidified their status as contenders.

It remains extremely unlikely but everyone looks vulnerable and flawed this season so there may be no better opening for an unlikely contender and besides, winning (in style too) is what the big Australian does. It wasn’t so long ago people laughed at Leicester’s outrageous start …
