Former professional footballer Michael Owen recently shared his thoughts on the current Premier League title race. As a former player for Liverpool, Owen naturally wants his former team to come out on top. However, he predicts that Manchester City will ultimately take the title, leaving both Liverpool and Arsenal in their dust.
At the moment, just one point separates the top three teams in the league - Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City. With only ten games left to play, it's anyone's game. Arsenal has been on a winning streak since the beginning of 2024 and recently claimed the top spot in the league for the first time since December. This comes after both Liverpool and Manchester City dropped points in a thrilling 1-1 draw at Anfield earlier this month.
Arsenal is determined to win their first league title since 2004, after coming close last season but ultimately falling behind Manchester City. The only team to break Manchester City's dominance in recent years has been Liverpool, who won the title in the unusual circumstances of the Covid-interrupted 2019-20 season. Liverpool has been in top form this season and is hoping to give their manager, Jurgen Klopp, a second league title before he leaves Anfield.
As for Manchester City, they are currently in third place but have the opportunity to overtake Arsenal and potentially end their title hopes when they face off after the international break. Owen, who made a name for himself at Liverpool, believes that his former team has the "easiest" run-in out of the three title contenders. However, he also recognizes that Manchester City is currently the best team in the world and will likely kick into high gear when the domestic campaign resumes.
"My heart says Liverpool, and it would be an incredible story with Jurgen Klopp's final season," Owen shared on The Kelly and Wrighty Show. "But I do think Man City is the best team in the world at the moment, and they've proven that. I can see them going into overdrive, with gears left to spare. While Arsenal and Liverpool may be playing at their peak right now, I think we'll see Man City go even further in this part of the season. My head says Manchester City."
While Arsenal and Manchester City will face off against each other in their quest for the title, Liverpool's first game back after the international break will be against Brighton on March 31st. It remains to be seen who will come out on top, but one thing is for sure - it will be an exciting and closely contested race until the very end.
