Pep Guardiola Backs Arsenal and Liverpool for Premier League Title Race
24 Oct
Summary
- Pep Guardiola believes Arsenal and Liverpool are still in the Premier League title race
- Guardiola criticizes pundits for making premature predictions about the title race
- Arsenal currently lead the Premier League table, while Liverpool are third
As of October 25th, 2025, Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola believes that Arsenal and Liverpool are still very much in the Premier League title race, despite early predictions that they were out of contention.
Guardiola has criticized pundits and "specialists" for making premature judgments about the title race after just a few games. He stated that he waits until at least 10-15 games have been played before assessing the situation, as he believes it's too early to write off any teams.
Currently, Arsenal are leading the Premier League table, sitting three points above Manchester City. Liverpool, the defending champions, are third, a point behind City. While Liverpool's form has dropped this season, winning just one of their last five games, Guardiola is confident they will bounce back.
The Spaniard emphasized that he expects both Arsenal and Liverpool to be in the title race, along with potentially someone else. He is hopeful that his own Manchester City side will also be in the mix as they look to regain the Premier League crown they last won in the 2023-24 season.
