EPL: Rio Ferdinand predicts 2024/2025 title winners, top four teams …C0NTINUE READING HERE >>>
Former Manchester United defender, Rio Ferdinand, has backed Arsenal to win the Premier League title this season.
Ferdinand feels the Gunners will finally end Manchester City’s run of dominance.
City have four the title for four consecutive years, becoming the first team to achieve the feat.
Arsenal have finished second in each of the last two seasons, coming close to toppling the Cityzens, but not quite managing it.
“I think it’s hard to go against City because of how successful they’ve been over the last four seasons,” Ferdinand said on TNT Sports.
“They’ve set a new benchmark, a new record of four in a row.
“But I just think Arsenal, Calafiori coming in on the left hand side, if he comes in and sures that area up…I think he’s a fantastic player, played at Bologna under Thiago Motta, he understands that type of football that Arteta wants to play.
“I think that was the area that was a slight weakness in the team, he gives them a bit of balance there and a bit of stability. So I’ll go maybe Arsenal to win it, but there’s got to be a hunger.”
Ferdinand has also predicted that United will return to the Champions League places.
The former England defender fancies Liverpool will end third and the Red Devils in fourth.
