The Premier League is the best league in the world for a reason, and that was on show this weekend.
While Arsenal fans would have hated the way Saturday’s game against Aston Villa panned out, a last-minute winner during a crunch clash between two title rivals makes for a fantastic sporting spectacle.
As you can imagine, Arsenal’s title credentials have been called into question after this defeat.
If you had to predict the Premier League top four right now, who makes the cut?
Earlier this season, Chris Sutton backed Arsenal to win the league, but, speaking on BBC 606, the pundit has now stated he’s not as certain in his prediction, admitting that he’s worried that his prediction now won’t come true.
Chris Sutton worried his Arsenal prediction won’t come true
Sutton spoke about Arsenal after being beaten by Aston Villa.
Robbie Savage was quick to mock his co-host, claiming that he’s gone too early on his title prediction.
Sutton agreed that he may have been too brash when tipping Arsenal to win the league, claiming that he’s now worried he’ll end up with egg on his face.
“You’ve gone early on Arsenal, haven’t you? You’ve gone early,” Robbie Savage said.
“I’ve gone early, but you know me, Rob,” Sutton said.
“I’ve gone brave and early and I’m a little bit worried. But let’s hear from Villa fans. Let’s hear from Arsenal fans.
“Are you having a wobble, Arsenal fans? Looks that way.”
Arsenal are matching title-winning pace
Arsenal have had a little bit of a wobble lately, winning just one of their last three Premier League games.
Who do you see as Arsenal’s biggest threat in the Premier League title race?
Which team, if any, worries you the most in the Premier League title race? Let us know in the comments… 👀
However, the Gunners are still very much in the box seat in the title race, and they are very much keeping up with what has historically been title-winning pace.
| Season – Champion | Points After 15 Games |
|---|---|
| 2024/25 — Liverpool | 35 |
| 2023/24 — Manchester City | 30 |
| 2022/23 — Manchester City | 35 |
| 2021/22 — Manchester City | 35 |
| 2020/21 — Manchester City | 29 |
33 points after 15 games is there are thereabouts in terms of where a team should be if they want to win the Premier League, and, while Sutton is worried about Arsenal’s potential title hopes, it’s certainly not time to panic just yet.
Arsenal can win the Premier League, make no mistake about it.
