Former Manchester United legend, Roy Keane, has given his latest prediction for the English Premier League title race, revealing the team he believes will finally lift the trophy this season.

Keane, speaking during an appearance on Sky Sports, tipped Arsenal under manager Mikel Arteta to win the Premier League 2025 season, ending their two-decade wait for the crown. The former United captain further predicted that last season’s champions, Liverpool, will finish in second place behind the Gunners.

According to Keane, Chelsea will once again fail to break into the top four, a position they have struggled to maintain in recent years.

Arsenal’s Long Road to the Top

In the past three seasons, Arsenal have come close but failed to clinch the title. Arteta’s side finished runners-up twice behind Manchester City, and last season they fell just short as Liverpool overtook them in the final stretch of the campaign.

Keane insists that the time has come for Arsenal to finally claim the Premier League trophy, which would be their first league title since the famous “Invincibles” season in 2004.

Keane’s Full Top-Five Predictions

Breaking down his list of the strongest contenders for this season, Keane placed Arsenal at the top, with Liverpool in second place. Defending champions Manchester City were backed to finish in third position, while Newcastle United are expected to claim fourth place. Chelsea, according to Keane, will have to settle for fifth place.

Early Season Performances

So far, Arsenal have made a strong start, securing a hard-fought victory over Manchester United last Sunday. Liverpool began their title defence with an impressive win against Bournemouth at Anfield on Friday, August 15.

Chelsea, however, could only manage a disappointing 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace, while Manchester City looked sharp as they demolished their opponents with a commanding 4-0 win.

Keane’s prediction has sparked debates among football fans, with many questioning whether Arsenal truly have what it takes to finally cross the finish line this season.
