William Gallas predicts Premier League title winner and full top-four order | Football

William Gallas has tipped Arsenal to win this season’s Premier League title and has revealed which clubs he thinks will finish in the top four.

The Gunners sit top of the table after 15 games but a dramatic defeat to Aston Villa last week means Manchester City are just two points behind.

Villa are third in the Premier League with Crystal Palace fourth – above Chelsea and Manchester United – who are fifth and sixth respectively.

Liverpool, who were crowned champions of England last season, are badly struggling this term with Arne Slot’s side falling all the way down to 10th, behind Everton, Brighton and Sunderland.

Gallas believes Liverpool will miss out on the top four with United – despite the Red Devils making huge improvements since the 2024-25 campaign.

The former Chelsea and Arsenal star sees the Gunners coming out on top with City runners-up, Enzo Maresca’s team finishing third and Villa fourth.

‘I’m sure Arsenal will be there, Man City will be there, Chelsea will be there,’ Gallas told OLBG.

‘Now the fourth one, right now Liverpool, they are struggling. Manchester United as well.

‘Maybe Aston Villa because they look very strong, especially after what they did against Arsenal. So, yeah, I think I will go for Aston Villa.

‘[My top-four prediction is] Arsenal, Man City, Chelsea, Aston Villa.’

Meanwhile, City’s assistant coach Kolo Toure has played down talk of Arsenal starting to feel the pressure in this season’s title race.

‘We know the quality of Arsenal,’ Toure said in a press conference on Friday. ‘They have a really strong squad, a fantastic manager.

‘But it’s all down to us. We have the best manager in the world, he’s doing an incredible job every day.

‘His passion for the game, he loves the players, he loves his staff, and we know he will take us as far as we can to winning the league.

‘We just focus on what we can do really, not on what Arsenal are doing. Every game is like a final for us.’

Arsenal host 20th-placed Wolves this weekend while City play Crystal Palace away from home.

The Gunners have finished as Premier League runners-up for the last three seasons in a row.

City, meanwhile, have clinched four of the last five top-flight titles under themanagement of Pep Guardiola.
