Sky Sports pundits are divided over which club will win the Premier League title for the 2025/26 season, with Liverpool and Manchester City leading the discussion. Liverpool, managed by Arne Slot, are viewed by several experts as the favourites to retain their crown due to their strong recruitment, depth, and momentum following last season’s dominant performance.
Alan Shearer, Michael Owen, Darren Bent, Tim Sherwood, and Shay Given all predict Liverpool to win the title again, highlighting the club’s quality signings like Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong, and Milos Kerkez as factors that strengthen their squad. The team’s formidable firepower and winning mentality are cited as key reasons for these predictions.
On the other hand, Manchester City, under Pep Guardiola, have undergone significant rebuilding with new additions including Rayan Cherki and Tijjani Reijnders, raising questions about whether they can challenge Liverpool and reclaim the title. Arsenal, reinforced with signings such as Viktor Gyokeres and Martin Zubimendi, are also in contention, with pundits recognizing their potential to disrupt the traditional dominance.
The pundits’ views differ on players who will excel this season: Viktor Gyokeres is seen as a perfect finisher for Arsenal; Alexander Isak is praised as the best all-round striker; Erling Haaland continues to be recognized for relentless goal-scoring; and Mohamed Salah remains a key figure for Liverpool.
The debate extends beyond the title race to predictions about teams at risk of relegation and potential surprise performers. Leeds, Sunderland, Burnley, Brentford, and Wolves are mentioned as candidates for relegation battles, while Brighton and Aston Villa are tipped as dark horses in the top six competition.
Overall, while Liverpool is the general favorite among Sky Sports experts to secure back-to-back titles, the transfer activity and evolving dynamics at Manchester City and Arsenal ensure a competitive and unpredictable Premier League season ahead.
