Former Arsenal striker Alan Smith (Picture: Getty) Former Arsenal striker Alan Smith is confident that only two clubs will be in the running to win the Premier League this season. Following three successive second-place finishes, Mikel Arteta finally guided Arsenal to their first league title in 22 years last season. And over the summer, the Gunners have looked to strengthen their squad further as they prepare to begin their title defence. The early signings of Christos Tzolis and Illan Meslier have been bolstered by the marquee arrival of Bruno Guimaraes, with Arsenal still looking to add depth in defence and in wide forward areas before the deadline.

But it has been a summer of upheaval for several of Arsenal’s rivals, with a slew of managerial changes ahead of the new season. Enzo Maresca is back at Manchester City, while Andoni Iraola and Xabi Alonso have been tasked with improving the fortunes of Liverpool and Chelsea after their respective poor domestic campaigns last season. And elsewhere, Michael Carrick is preparing for his first full season at Manchester United after arriving at Old Trafford midway through last season. Arsenal are bidding to defend their Premier League title (Picture: Getty) But despite all that change over the off-season, former Gunners striker Smith believes the title race could well be a repeat of last year’s between Arsenal and City. ‘I think Man City are the key challenger [to Arsenal],’ he told Metro via BestBettingSites.co.uk. ‘Obviously, they have a new manager, so that puts a little question mark in there about how Maresca can settle with his players,’ but I still see them being the only challenger. ‘There’s a whole host of others just below that, but I’d say it’s [between Arsenal and] City at the moment.’ Enzo Maresca has replaced Pep Guardiola at Manchester City (Picture: PA) As well as Pep Guardiola, City have seen stalwarts such as John Stones, Bernardo Silva and Nathan Ake leave the club this summer. World Cup winner Rodri also looks poised to leave for Barcelona, and Smith reckons those departures might give Arsenal the edge in the title race. ‘I’ve got to go for Arsenal winning it again; let’s hope,’ he added. Smith's predicted top-six for this season Arsenal Manchester City Manchester United Liverpool Chelsea Aston Villa ‘Then City. Manchester United, they finished third last year, and I think they’re going to be better off this year. ‘Carrick is getting his feet under the table, so maybe Man United third, Liverpool fourth, and Chelsea perhaps having a much better season than they did last time under Alonso. ‘They have made some good signings, so I’d see that as the top five, then that sixth spot I’d say Aston Villa are favourites.’ Arsenal and City will face off against each other this weekend in the Community Shield at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. The Gunners then kick off their league campaign against newly promoted Coventry City on Friday, with City hosting Bournemouth in their first game of the Maresca era.

Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Community Shield match against Arsenal at Millennium Stadium (kick-off 15:00 BST). Erling Haaland is "fine" after sitting out for the final part of the club's open training session at Etihad Stadium on Thursday.
Scholes says Arsenal must keep their young star this summer (Picture: The Overlap Fan Debate) Paul Scholes believes Arsenal would be better off ‘getting rid’ of Martin Zubimendi and handing Myles Lewis-Skelly a more prominent role in the team this season. After a breakout campaign for the Gunners and for England during the 2024-25 season, Lewis-Skelly endured a frustrating campaign last term before finally forcing his way back into the side for the title run-in. The 20-year-old started just one Premier League game before April but with other members of the squad tiring, started in midfield in big wins over Fulham and West Ham United in May. Lewis-Skelly also shone in the Champions League semi-final victory over Atletico Madrid, keeping his place in the side in the final against Paris Saint-Germain in Budapest. With Mikel Arteta preferring Riccardo Calafiori and Piero Hincapie at left-back, Lewis-Skelly’s resurgence came in central midfield. Get the latest transfer news every morning Sign up to our daily football newsletter for personalised updates on who your team is trying to sign and who won't be around next season. But the addition of Bruno Guimaraes to an area of the pitch that already includes Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard, Mikel Merino and Zubimendi has raised doubts over his future again. Zubimendi enjoyed an impressive first season in England last term but struggled towards the back end of a draining campaign with only David Raya and Rice racking up more minutes. Lewis-Skelly has been offered to other clubs (Picture: Getty Images Europe) Lewis-Skelly replaced the Spain international in the side in those key fixtures with Manchester United legend Scholes believing he should be the one to make way to ensure the Arsenal youngster gets more opportunities. ‘I prefer Myles Lewis-Skelly in centre midfield to Zubimendi,’ Scholes said in the latest episode of The Overlap Fan Debate. ‘I think Zubimendi struggled last year. If there’s one player you are going to get rid of, it would be him [Martin Zubimendi]. The problem I’ve got with this left back role is that [Mikel] Arteta last year basically played four centre-halves last season.’ Zubimendi joined from Real Sociedad last year (Picture: Nicolò Campo/LightRocket via Getty Images) There have been conflicting reports over Lewis-Skelly’s future with it suggested he has been offered to both Chelsea and Manchester United. United were first credited with interest back in January with Michael Carrick still eager to sign a left-back and a midfielder – two positions Lewis-Skelly can cover. Lewis-Skelly, who is under contract until 2030, scored during Arsenal’s friendly win over Como on Wednesday and celebrated by making the shape of a heart with his hands towards the crowd at the Emirates. But Arteta remained tight-lipped about the midfielder’s future after the game, insisting: ‘I’m not going to talk about any speculation. ‘If there is a speculation about our players, that’s a good sign. That means that we attract attention and they’re doing a good job.’ Comment now Comments Add Metro as a Preferred Source on Google Add as preferred source
