Reigning champions Arsenal are the favourites to win the Premier League, says Peter Crouch (Picture: That Peter Crouch Podcast) Peter Crouch says Arsenal remain the ‘best team in the Premier League’ and should be deemed the favourites to win the title again this coming season. After three successive runners-up finishes, the Gunners eased to the title with a game to spare last term, ending the campaign with a seven-point advantage over nearest rivals Manchester City. It brought the club’s painful 22-year wait for top-flight glory to a halt and there were raucous scenes as jubilant fans flocked to north London to soak up the moment of history. Six days after Martin Odegaard and Co held aloft the coveted trophy at Selhurst Park, though, PSG ensured Arsenal’s hopes of a double went up in smoke in the Champions League final.

Mikel Arteta’s side will no doubt be looking to use their disappointment in Europe for motivation heading into the new Premier League season, which starts at home to newly promoted Coventry City in nine days’ time. First, Arsenal take to the field against Manchester City for what promises to be an intriguing Community Shield showdown in Cardiff, where marquee £75million signing Bruno Guimaraes may be given the chance to make his official debut. Making his predictions for the 2026/27 campaign on That Peter Crouch Podcast, ex-England striker Crouch picked out Arteta’s men as the team to beat again, declaring: ‘He [Arteta] delivered and they got to a Champions League final. I’m going to go with Arsenal. Arteta got the monkey off his back last season after three runners-up finishes (Picture: Getty) The Gunners have added Guimaraes to their midfield ranks this summer (Picture: Getty) He later added: ‘It’s an interesting season this one but I think Arsenal are the best team in the league.’ Crouch proceeded to further put his neck on the line by revealing his predicted top-four, leaving out two of his former clubs in Liverpool and Tottenham. ‘I’m going to go for Arsenal to win it, City second, Manchester United third and Chelsea,’ he said. Crouch backed Manchester United to finish in the top four again under Carrick (Picture: PA) On United, Crouch continued: ‘I don’t want them to win the league but I think they have improved. ‘Is it different now Michael Carrick has got the job full-time? We’ll see.’ Having attended Liverpool pre-season clash with Wrexham, Crouch is not convinced his former club have enough to be title contenders just yet under new manager Andoni Iraola. Liverpool aren’t quite ready to challenge for the title, according to Crouch (Picture: Getty) ‘There were a lot of players missing, they played a lot of the youngsters,’ he explained. ‘[Lewis] Koumas looked sharp, Trey Nyoni looks like a good player. Not a lot others played, [Dominik] Szoboszlai played. ‘I’m not sure on Liverpool. I think the manager is great, I just don’t know if the squad is there after losing the players that they’ve lost in the last couple of seasons. {"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Martin Odegaard heads ball directly into police officer during Arsenal parade","contentUrl":"https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/video\/met\/2026\/06\/01\/188721103218914644\/480x270_MP4_188721103218914644.mp4","description":"Whoops!","duration":"T8S","height":480,"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i.dailymail.com\/1s\/2026\/06\/01\/12\/109008017-0-image-a-36_1780314932393.jpg","uploadDate":"2026-06-01T12:52:23+0100","width":270} To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page window.addEventListener('metroVideo:relatedVideosCarouselLoaded', function(data) { if (typeof(data.detail) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.detail.carousel) === 'undefined' || typeof(data.deta
Tottenham Hotspur have added Atalanta defender Giorgio Scalvini to their list of potential defensive reinforcements as Roberto De Zerbi continues reshaping his squad ahead of the new Premier League season.

After the departures of Eddie Howe, Bruno Guimaraes, Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali, Newcastle United need a hero to stop their decline. Adam Clery looks at the appointment of Matthias Jaissle and his style of play to show how he can evolve the Magpies’ stagnant attack and leaky defence.
Chairman Mark Ashton acknowledges that one of the key lessons from Ipswich's previous Premier League campaign was the need to bring in more athletic players "with a different set of physical attributes". The midfield lacked power and ball-winning ability in 2024-25, and it is imperative that new arrivals Florentino Luis and Sasa Lukic – both experienced at the highest level – hit the ground running. It is no surprise that Gary O'Neil is also seeking greater cutting edge given that no Ipswich player scored more than 10 non-penalty goals in the Championship last season.
Russell Martin’s new-look Leicester look set to challenge for promotion, while it could be a tough campaign for Notts County and AFC WimbledonHow did it come to this, that a club crowned Premier League champions a decade ago are down in the third tier? Chronic mismanagement across the board has been Leicester’s problem for too long and they need to reset under Russell Martin. Many of the top earners have been shipped out and not much brought in, but there remains enough quality to challenge at this level. Martin has at his disposal plenty of young talents who could finally be given their chance thanks to circumstance and who will be ably supported by Harry Souttar and Stephy Mavididi.

Man Utd have been told to approach Chelsea (Picture: Getty) Quinton Fortune has urged Manchester United to sign a new striker before the summer transfer window closes to support Benjamin Sesko and believes a Chelsea player could be the answer. Sesko endured a mixed first season at Old Trafford following his £73m move from RB Leipzig last summer, scoring 12 goals in 32 appearances. The Slovenia international endured a poor first-half to the campaign but improved after Michael Carrick replaced Ruben Amorim in the United hot-seat. Whether Sesko is the long-term answer for Manchester United remains to be seen, with Michael Owen recently admitting he had ‘doubts’ that will prove to be the case. 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. Ex-United defender Fortune says Carrick ‘needs another striker’ to ‘push for the Premier League and play in the Champions League’ and has named Nicolas Jackson as an ‘option’. Jackson is being linked with a permanent move away from Chelsea after spending last season on loan at Bayern Munich. Aston Villa and Newcastle United have both made approaches for the Senegal international, who Chelsea value at £65m, and Fortune believes Manchester United should also consider a move. Current Man Utd striker Benjamin Sesko (Picture: Getty) ‘I think United need another striker because I think Benjamin Sesko scored 12 goals last season and Bruno Fernandes got nine,’ Fortune told Premier Bet. ‘The team needs more but we do have to remember that Sesko is still a young player with a big responsibility coming to United and having to carry the team up front by himself. ‘In my time, we were very fortunate to have Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Teddy Sheringham, Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole. Then Ruud Van Nistelrooy came later and Wayne Rooney, and a youngster could come into the team and look up to Van Nistelrooy or Andy Cole or Dwight Yorke or Teddy Sheringham. Chelsea value Nicolas Jackson at £65m (Picture: Getty) ‘Benjamin Sesko is having to do all that himself, and what if he picks up an injury? ‘So United need another striker, and if you are pushing for the Premier League and playing in the Champions League, you need a bigger squad.’ Fortune, who won the Premier League under Sir Alex Ferguson, added: ‘Nicolas Jackson is an option for Manchester United. ‘He’s coming off his loan at Bayern Munich and keeps getting clubs so he must have something. Manchester United boss Michael Carrick (Picture: Getty) ‘I see him as more of a goal poacher. If you look at the purest of the pure footballers, he’s not a striker to bring it down and play it like Dimitar Berbatov or Wayne Rooney or Dwight Yorke but that’s what I like about him too. ‘He’s just an out-an-out striker. He doesn’t really care about anything else apart from getting into the box and getting on the end of whatever service he’s provided, and there’s nothing wrong with that. That’s still the hardest part of the game. ‘He’s almost like Erling Haaland at times and he shouldn’t get involved in the play so much. Tell the other guys they can do all the hard work and I’ll score the goals. ‘Whether he’s right for United, I don’t know about that, but you don’t play for Chelsea and Bayern Munich if you haven’t got something about you. ‘I just think United need a little bit more. I do like Nicolas Jackson but think United need the best of the best. ‘If you’re going to buy a top-top striker, you must go and buy Erling Haaland or Harry Kane. Just be absolutely ruthless. Sign the player. Get them in the box. Give me the goals. No nonsense.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page. Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand (Picture: YouTube) Rio Ferdinand says Manchester City would have pipped Arsenal to the Premier League title last season had Rodri been available for the entire campaign. Arsenal clinched their first Premier League title since 2004 back in May, finishing seven points clear of Man City in Pep Guardiola’s last season at the club. Ballon d’Or winner Rodri missed 17 Premier League games last term due to injury issues and Ferdinand believes his availability would have changed the course of the title race. Rodri now looks set to end his long and successful spell at the Etihad Stadium, with Barcelona closing in on a stunning deal for the World Cup winner. 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. Ferdinand says Rodri’s imminent departure will present ‘huge challenges’ to a Manchester City team already having to cope with the exit of legendary manager Guardiola. Enzo Maresca, the former Chelsea boss, has been given the possibly tricky task of replacing Guardiola, who won six Premier League titles, the Champions League and eight domestic cups at Man City. Speaking on his podcast, Manchester United legend Ferdinand said: ‘Can we just talk about Manchester City please? Man City legend Rodri is set to join Barcelona (Picture: Getty) ‘Not only have they lost Pep Guardiola, it now looks like they’re losing Rodri. That’s two of the most important people at the football club in the last seven or eight years. ‘So after a big change in manager they’re losing the biggest, most important player in their team. ‘If Rodri started and played every game last season and didn’t have that injury, Man City win the Premier League. No disrespect to Arsenal but if Rodri played ten more games, Man City would have won the league. Arsenal pipped Man City to the Premier League title (Picture: Getty) ‘That’s no coincidence. This guy went into the Spain team and was their most important player, wins the best player of the tournament and helps them win the World Cup. He’s won the Ballon d’Or too, he’s won everything. ‘If Barcelona get him they are a certified problem this year because Rodri is the most important footballer for any team on the planet right now and has been for the last few years. He’s a top player and a top pro. ‘I think Man City have a huge challenge this year in competing in the way they have in the last eight or nine years. Former Man City boss Pep Guardiola (Picture: Getty) ‘They’ve lost two huge components of the football club, not only on the pitch but off it as well. They were both huge contributors so let’s watch this space.’ Arsenal hero Anders Limpar has also suggested Manchester City could be set for a difficult season if they sell influential midfielder Rodri. ‘If Manchester City sell Rodri they are shooting themselves in the foot because he cannot be replaced,’ Limpar told SveaCasino. ‘We said the same about David Silva but they did replace him and brought in a couple of good players, like Bernardo Silva, but it’s even harder to replace Rodri now. ‘He’s a Ballon d’Or winner because of how good he is in his role. Who are you going to replace him with? ‘City have to be very, very careful here or they can become a mediocre team that struggles to finish sixth or seventh even with Erling Haaland because Rodri is the machine. He’s the engine in that midfield. ‘It would be the best signing of the summer for Arsenal if Rodri goes to Barcelona or Real Madrid.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page.
