Former Liverpool midfielder Jason McAteer has tipped Arsenal to dethrone Manchester City and claim the Premier League title this season. Speaking to Gambling Zone, McAteer praised the progress Arsenal have made under manager Mikel Arteta and believes this is the season they are truly ready to win the league.
When asked who he thinks will win the Premier League, McAteer confidently backed Arsenal. “If you’re looking for longevity in an answer, then Arsenal,” he said. “At this moment in time, they’re really ready to win it. Last season and the season before, there was a question about mentality. Could they last the pace? Would injuries affect them? But they’ve bought really well in the last three or four windows to strengthen the squad with quality.”
McAteer highlighted the depth Arsenal now possess, which he believes is crucial for their title challenge. “If they lose key players, they’ve got others who can step in. A perfect example is Martin Odegaard’s injury and Leandro Trossard stepping in. Trossard may not be of the same quality, but he’s a very good player,” McAteer noted.
