Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah believes Arsenal are favourites for the 2025/26 Premier League title.

The Reds and Gunners each got the new season underway in winning fashion with a second successive battle for the trophy potentially brewing.

Last season the Reds stormed to the Premier League title in Arne Slot's first season as head coach.



Playing a huge part in that was Salah, who recorded a combined 47 goals and assists as his team went on to finish the 2024/25 campaign with a total of 84 points.

Liverpool had wrapped up the race with four matches spare as Arsenal eventually came home runners-up by a 10-point margin.

Chief amongst those arrivals are striker Viktor Gyokeres and defensive midfielder Martin Zubimendi.

Therefore Salah believes the Reds' rivals are so strong that they are the early frontrunners to go on and claim the title this time around.
