Sergio Agüero has predicted this season’s Premier League title race, insisting that Arsenal will once again challenge Manchester City.
The Gunners have been City’s main rivals over the past two campaigns and came very close to winning the title last season.
This season presents another opportunity for Arsenal to finally dethrone the champions, but it will be a tough task.
While Arsenal has significantly strengthened their squad in recent summers, City arguably remains the best team in the country.
Pep Guardiola’s side will be determined to stay at the pinnacle of English football, but can Arsenal finally secure the title under Mikel Arteta?
Agüero, who has been closely following the Gunners in recent seasons, appears convinced that they will once again pose a serious challenge to City.
He said, as quoted by The Sun:
“Arteta has also promoted a process to congeal his playing style – he knows what type of game he wants his side to play, and the players are able to materialise it better by the day.
“The last two seasons were proof of that. Lest we forget – Arsenal also has a very young team that’s picking up experience quickly.
“I think they’ll be the team to beat this season if City want to win the title.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
We remain one of the strongest teams in the land and will surely be in the race, but we are tired of finishing second and want to be champions.

I’m not tired of finishing second; however, I do want us to be Champions.
Two decades without a title ….I’m tired
MC has won the title 4 seasons in a row and 6 of the last 7. I wouldn’t trade places with a MC fan for all the tea in China.
I suspect Arteta really must win the PL in 2024-25 or there may be questions asked by KSE.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s been an achievement to get within striking distance, and closer, of City two years in a row. However, our American cousins are really interested in top place, not runners up – that’s only a stepping stone to champions. (You can imagine the fuss in the States had the US not topped the Olympic medal table.)
Having provided (loaned, in reality) Arsenal so much money – relatively speaking – in the past few seasons I wonder how long they will persevere should Arsenal not be 2024-25 champions before looking to someone else to take Arsenal “to the next level”, as they probably would describe it.
You may be right. If we aren’t challenging for the title again and the perceived value of the club begins to wane then KSE may see a need to bring someone else in.
Personally, I believe if we at least remain a strong UCL club and don’t spend a boatload of additional funds, KSE will likely be satisfied enough with their return on investment for a couple of seasons. Beyond that, the question is will they insist that we push forward to the very top even if requires additional significant spending and another manager. All conjecture of course.
Zero chance of this if anything it’s the opposite. Arteta could finish outside the CL places and likely get backed by KSE. The fans however might start turning with another trophyless 2nd place finish.
Arsenal have invested nothing Arteta dropped the wage bill and the rest was our normal earnings. Hence why our Squad is neither top 4 for cost to build nor top 4 for wages. The myth surrounding money is by those desperate not to have been wrong about Arteta. We just did a massive rebuild quickly due to the mismanagement of the squad by Wenger/Emery and the backroom staff in those years leading to such an expensive aging squad outside the top 4. The overall cost of the squad is still low in comparison to our rivals just that it’s been multiple players in a short period whereas Liv/City spent big and still have the players before Arteta took over. Arteta has lived within the means in the exact same way Wenger/Emery had to do, our recruitment has just been better.
True words that some here chose to ignore.
I still trust the process till, I believe arsenal under manager Mikel Arteta, is gonna win the premier League this season no doubts..
