The Premier League resumes this weekend, and attention turns to who will be crowned champions in 2024-25.
Every pundit and fan will have their view on whether Manchester City can make it five titles in a row, but former Premier League midfielder Jamie O'Hara is backing last year's runners-up to finally topple Pep Guardiola's men.
“Arsenal are looking stronger than ever,” said O’Hara, giving his full Premier League predictions with Grosvenor Sport.
“With a manager who knows how to get the best out of his players, I think this could be their year, as much as I hate to say it. I see this season going right down to the wire, possibly even being decided on the final day.
“For me, Arsenal have made some significant improvements, and there’s still talk of another big signing—maybe a striker—which would really boost their title chances even more. They’ve built a team that have really improved together and are now ready, whilst strengthening areas with quality and improving their back up players.
“I’d be looking at an inside forward that can cover Bukayo Saka, as the schedule will be busy with Europe and he will need to rest. Apart from that though, there are very few chinks in their armour.”
The upcoming season could be Pep Guaridola's last in charge of Man City, and knowing that, as well as the investigation over 115 charges hanging over their heads, O'Hara thinks the distraction will be a big hindrance to the club.
Adding: “Manchester City will have difficulties off the pitch this season, the charges need dealing with and the news around it will dominate their season and be a distraction for them.
“I can see Arsenal staying focused and taking advantage. Mikel Arteta will be drilling that into his squad and making sure they’re up to the task.
“I think it’ll go down to the final game of the season, it’s that close. Arsenal edge it for me, as much as it pains me to say it!”
