Mohamed Salah said, to everyone's surprise, that Liverpool was not a favorite for the title of Premier League 2025-26.

Despite a spectacular victory of the Reds 4-2 against Bournemouth in their first match, Salah admitted that one of their main rivals had “very good chances” to be ahead.

Liverpool faced with a difficult defense of the title

For Arsenal, who has not won the title of the Premier League since his invincible season in 2004, this year marks a new decisive step towards the coveted crown. The club has invested massively in the transfer market, spending nearly 200 million pounds Sterling ($ 270 million) to strengthen its workforce. With the arrival of Viktor Gyokeres, Arsenal now has the last piece in the puzzle, strengthening a team that finished second in the title race last season.

During an interview given Tuesday evening on the occasion of the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) awards ceremony, Salah told presenter Cecil Thomas, Arsenal supporter:
“I think you have an excellent team this season, like last season. So you have a good chance. I think you are now a favorite because you have been playing together for five years. I can't wish you good luck; I hope we reoffend. »»

During the PFA awards ceremony, Salah was crowned player of the year of the PFA for the third time, becoming the first player in the history of the Premier League to win this prize three times. The 33 -year -old striker, author of 29 goals and 18 assists last season, was rewarded for one of the best individual performances in the championship.

Despite Salah's confidence in Arsenal's abilities, Liverpool is ready to continue on its momentum. After winning three points against Bournemouth, Arne Slot's team will go to St. James' Park to face Newcastle United on Monday. Another key match will take place the following weekend, when Liverpool finds Arsenal in Anfield. This start to the start of the season could have a significant influence on the title race, the two clubs being determined to score points.
