Who will win the 2025/26 Premier League title? Arsenal or Manchester City

As the 2025/26 Premier League season enters its crucial final stages, Manchester City are still challenging Arsenal as both sides compete to finish as champions.

Pep Guardiola aims to restore Manchester City’s glory, which they lost to Liverpool last season, while Mikel Arteta strives to deliver the trophy to the Emirates for the first time since 2004. The experience of high-pressure run-ins, squad depth, and the ability to consistently pick up points in the final weeks often set these two teams apart from the rest.

A review of Manchester City and Arsenal’s title chances

Manchester City, managed by Pep Guardiola, is known for finishing the season strongly, regardless of how inconsistent their form may have been throughout the campaign. The recent form of the Cityzens indicates that Guardiola can achieve remarkable results against the odds.

Arsenal:

Arsenal have a better chance of winning all their remaining fixtures, thanks to their relatively favourable schedule and their current lead in the title race. Burnley and Crystal Palace are both situated in the lower half of the table, and Arsenal have been defensively solid in recent weeks. After defeating West Ham, they now lead by five points at the top, although Manchester City still possess a game in hand, which could prove decisive for the former Premier League champions.

Nonetheless, some football pundits strongly believe Burnley will aim to finish their final home game of the season on a high, just as they did with their draw against Aston Villa. If this happens, it could be where the Gunners lose their grip on the top spot.

Manchester City:

Manchester City have three remaining fixtures against Crystal Palace (home), Bournemouth (away), and Aston Villa (home) to complete the season.

City remains capable of winning all their remaining matches, thanks to their experience and squad quality. However, their schedule is more demanding, with trips to Bournemouth and fixtures against Aston Villa and Crystal Palace, particularly amid fixture congestion and the potential distraction of the FA Cup final.

Guardiola recently acknowledged that the race is no longer entirely in City’s hands after dropping points against Everton.

Prediction:

This is likely to be one of the closest title races since Arsenal’s triumph in 1989 and City’s crown in 2012, but we still expect City to win the league on goal difference.
