According to former Liverpool defender Glen Johnson, it looks like Arne Slot will have a successful debut season as the head coach of the team. Johnson predicts that Liverpool will emerge as the champions of the 2024-25 Premier League, with the current top four remaining unchanged.
Currently, Liverpool sits comfortably at the top of the league with 35 points after playing 14 matches. They also have a game in hand over Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester City, giving them an advantage in the title race. Chelsea, with 31 points, is in second place, and Johnson praises their impressive performance under head coach Enzo Maresca.
Arsenal, who have narrowly missed out on the Premier League title in the past two years, are currently in third place with 29 points. Manchester City, who have dominated the league in recent years, are surprisingly in fourth place with 27 points. Johnson believes that Arsenal will swap places with Chelsea, but the top four will remain the same.
When asked about his top four prediction, Johnson told Betfred that he believes Liverpool will finish first, followed by Arsenal in second, Chelsea in third, and Manchester City in fourth. He also admits that it may seem strange to predict Manchester City in fourth place, but their performance this season does not inspire confidence in their ability to challenge for the title.
Johnson also reflects on last season's title race, where Manchester City beat Arsenal to clinch the trophy. He believes that Arsenal will bounce back and have a strong finish this season, cementing their second-place position.
As for Manchester City, Johnson feels that they are already falling behind in the title race. He acknowledges that they are a world-class team, but their current form does not suggest that they can sustain a title challenge. The next few weeks will be crucial for Manchester City, as they need to go on a winning streak to close the gap with Liverpool. Otherwise, Johnson believes that it will be difficult for them to catch up.
In conclusion, Johnson predicts that Liverpool will continue their consistent and impressive performance to win the Premier League title this season. He also believes that Arsenal will finally have a successful season, finishing in second place, followed by Chelsea in third and Manchester City in fourth. However, he also acknowledges that anything can happen in the Premier League, and the next few weeks will be crucial in determining the final standings.
