Rio Ferdinand, a former player of Manchester United, has revised his prediction regarding the winner of this season's Premier League title.
The competition is intensifying, with Arsenal, Manchester City, and Aston Villa all vying for the top position.
Arsenal, who last claimed the Premier League title in 2004, have emerged as the main contenders for most of the season following a strong start.
The Gunners have finished in second place for the past three years, but they boast one of the strongest squads in the league, thanks to an impressive summer of player acquisitions.
Despite facing numerous injuries, Mikel Arteta’s side fought hard against Brighton and triumphed over Aston Villa with a score of 4-1 on Tuesday, positioning them at the top of the league table as they head into the New Year.
Pep Guardiola’s squad has had a challenging season and did not defend their title last year; however, they appear revitalized after making significant investments in January and over the summer.
Ferdinand believes that Manchester City, having won eight consecutive matches across all competitions, may be building positive momentum, which could give them an edge over Arsenal, whom he initially favored to win the title.
“I want Arsenal to win the title, but given the current situation, Manchester City might just end up taking it,” he stated.
As they approach the New Year, Arsenal faces a challenging month in the league, with matches against Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United scheduled for January.
Ferdinand thinks Arsenal's chances of securing the title will hinge on their performance and their ability to achieve favorable results against lower-ranked teams.
He remarked, “I believe Arsenal had a solid lead, but now some teams have caught up.”
“You need to be aggressive. You've been close in the past few seasons and just missed out, so it’s essential to recognize the opportunity early and seize it.”
