GOAL SCORING PREDICTIONS
All the signs suggest that Arsenal won’t
be kept waiting much longer to end
their Premier League title drought. After collapsing on the home stretch in 2022-23 having led for most of the way, they couldn’t have come much closer last term as only the finest of margins saw them come second again to Manchester City. Manager Mikel Arteta has instilled an unshakeable mentality at the Emirates Stadium and is desperate to make the tiny gains that are needed for his side to make it third time lucky. To that end, he’s recruited Italy star Riccardo Calafiori to bolster a defence that now looks truly formidable, while the star quality provided by the likes of Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard, and Bukayo Saka further up the field will only intensify. It’s a Gunners side that has all the ingredients to come out on top, although finishing above Man City after 38 games is much easier said than done.

MANCHESTER CITY WILL LOOK TO CONTINUE THEIR DOMINANCE AFTER FOUR CONSECUTIVE TITLE WINS, BUT THE RACE PROMISES TO BE ANOTHER THRILLING RIDE WITH ARSENAL GOING ALL OUT TO END THEIR OWN 21-YEAR WAIT. STEPHEN DONOVAN CASTS AN EYE OVER A PREMIER LEAGUE WHERE MORE CLUBS THAN EVER HOLD VAST AMBITIONS.
