‘To be honest’: Gary Lineker predicts who will win the Premier League after Liverpool continued to drop points…

Gary Lineker shares his thoughts on the Premier League title race following Liverpool’s recent points drop.
Following Liverpool’s recent points loss, Gary Lineker offers his insights on who will emerge as the Premier League champion.
Gary Lineker provides his honest prediction for the Premier League winner after Liverpool’s continued struggle to secure points.
The competition for the Premier League title between Arsenal and Liverpool has taken an intriguing turn.
Arne Slot’s team has been the most effective in the league this season, previously appearing to be in a commanding position. At one stage, Liverpool held a nine-point advantage over Arsenal.
However, after losing four points in their last three matches, the gap could narrow to five if Arsenal secures a victory against West Ham on Saturday.
This development has reignited the title race for many observers. Gary Lineker has weighed in on the potential outcome.
Lineker’s prediction for the Premier League champion – Liverpool or Arsenal
Arsenal has faced numerous challenges this season.
The Gunners have not had a fully fit squad available at any point during the campaign. Mikel Arteta has had to manage without at least one key player in every match thus far.
With Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz sidelined for the remainder of the season, many Arsenal supporters lost hope in the title chase.
However, Liverpool’s recent performances have sparked renewed optimism among some fans.
As Liverpool prepares to face Manchester City and Newcastle United in quick succession, Arsenal fans are hoping for further missteps from the Reds. Should that occur, the title could be within Arteta’s grasp.
Nonetheless, Lineker remains skeptical about that scenario and has expressed his belief that Liverpool will ultimately prevail.
During a recent episode of the Rest is Football podcast, Alan Shearer commented on Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with Aston Villa, stating it was a fair result and beneficial for Arsenal since Liverpool failed to secure all three points.
Lineker responded, noting that while it keeps Liverpool in contention, Arsenal has a game in hand, which could reduce the gap to five points. He added that this situation maintains interest for neutral fans.
It would be quite surprising if Liverpool does not secure the title by the end of the season.
They have experienced two draws in their last three matches, although those were challenging away fixtures.
In the past, one might have thought, “That’s a solid point. We managed to draw at Goodison against our local rivals and earned a point.
“We also drew with Villa, who are performing well and are in the last 16 of the Champions League. That’s a respectable outcome.”
However, the current sentiment seems to be more about the perception of lost opportunities, with reactions leaning towards, “Oh, they’ve dropped two points.” This shift in perspective can create a sense of urgency.
As we approach the critical phase of the season, many outcomes will soon be determined.
Liverpool is still viewed as the frontrunner for the title, but Arsenal is determined to challenge them until the very end.
Here’s a look at their upcoming five Premier League matches:
Liverpool
– Manchester City (A)
– Newcastle United (H)
– Southampton (H)
– Everton (H)
– Fulham (A)
Arsenal
– West Ham United (H)
– Nottingham Forest (A)
– Manchester United (A)
– Chelsea (H)
– Fulham (H)
Liverpool’s upcoming match against Manchester City on Sunday is particularly significant.
Should Liverpool lose to the reigning champions and Arsenal secure a victory against West Ham, the point difference between the two teams would narrow to just five, with Arsenal holding a game in hand.
This scenario would place the title race firmly in Arsenal’s control; if they win all their remaining matches, they will clinch the Premier League title.
