Arsenal are favourites to be crowned Premier League champions this season. That was the view of Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah when asked about the Gunners’ title chances at the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) awards event on Tuesday night.

Arsenal’s 2024–25 campaign was derailed by injuries as they pushed for Premier League and Champions League glory. The Gunners suffered the fourth most injuries in the English top flight last term (36) and lost the likes of Gabriel, Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz for crucial and extensive periods.

Arsenal has kept at bay Manchester United’s expensively assembled forward line and scored again from a set piece to win 1-0 in the marquee match in the opening round of the Premier League.
