Lineker: Arsenal, City Set for Title Battle
BBC Sports host Gary Lineker believes the Premier League title race will once again be between Arsenal and Manchester City this season. Over the past two campaigns, City narrowly edged Arsenal to secure the trophy.
Currently, Pep Guardiola’s side leads the league, winning all four of their opening fixtures, while Arsenal trails by two points. Ahead of their showdown at the Etihad this Sunday, Lineker remarked, “It’s already looking like Arsenal v Manchester City for the title again.”
Although Liverpool showed early promise, a recent 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest has left them fourth in the table, three points behind City.

Dwight Yorke Slams Ten Hag’s Man United
Manchester United legend Dwight Yorke has criticized manager Erik ten Hag and the team’s style of play, expressing doubt about their chances of winning the Premier League under his leadership.
Speaking to beIN Sports, Yorke said, “We’re far from winning the Premier League. After Ten Hag’s first season, we believed he could lead us forward, but that hasn’t happened. Yes, we won the FA Cup last season, but that doesn’t make us a strong team. The way we play, our league position, and our goal stats are the worst in the club’s Premier League history since 1992.”
