Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah made a daring prediction at the PFA Awards, declaring Arsenal as early favorites for the 2025/26 Premier League title!

As the new season kicks off with both Liverpool and Arsenal securing victories, Salah's comments highlight the brewing rivalry for the trophy. Last season, Salah played a crucial role in Liverpool's triumph, amassing an impressive 47 goal contributions as they clinched the title under new coach Arne Slot.

Despite Liverpool's overwhelming success last term, finishing 10 points ahead of Arsenal, Salah acknowledges the Gunners have significantly strengthened their squad. Mikel Arteta's side has brought in seven new players for nearly £200 million, including striker Viktor Gyokeres and defensive midfielder Martin Zubimendi.

During a fun live TikTok session from the red carpet, Salah had a light-hearted exchange with presenter Cecil Thomas, an Arsenal supporter, who urged him to give the Gunners a chance. To which Salah quipped, "You have a great team this season. You really do have a chance. I think you are favorites now."

Liverpool and Arsenal will face off soon, with the match set for August 31st at Anfield—a pivotal moment for both teams. Salah's confidence in Arsenal sets the stage for an exciting clash.

In preparation for the new season, Liverpool hasn't been idle, investing nearly £300 million in eight fresh faces, featuring British-record signing Florian Wirtz and others. Meanwhile, they've raised around £200 million from player exits including major talents like Trent Alexander-Arnold and Darwin Nunez.

With both teams undergoing significant changes, the upcoming season promises to be nothing short of thrilling. Will Arsenal rise to the occasion, or will Liverpool maintain their dominance? Only time will tell!
