Paul Merson names team to win Premier League title next season

Former Arsenal star, Paul Merson, has made his predictions for the upcoming Premier League season, naming Manchester City as the favorites to win the title once again. In contrast, he believes Chelsea may face challenges securing a top-four finish.

Merson expressed his views on the title race, “I can’t look past Manchester City for the Premier League title. With Gundogan gone and Kyle Walker on his way out, it might be difficult for them this season,” Merson said, as quoted by Sportskeeda.

“Arsenal could give them a run for their money, but [Manchester] City’s bench is very strong.

“Declan Rice will need to get used to Arsenal’s way. They move the ball around a lot faster than he is used to at West Ham and England.

“A lot depends on whether Manchester United can get Harry Kane. If they do, they’re massive challengers for the Premier League title. If they don’t, they will still be fighting for a place in the top four.

“I don’t think Chelsea will get into the top four – there is too much work to be done at the moment. Their squad is very unbalanced.

“At the moment, the only thing that could deny Manchester City the Premier League title is their own complacency. They’ve got the best squad and should be able to defend their crown.”
