Rooney Names Arsenal Slight Favourites for Premier League Title

Wayne Rooney says Arsenal remain slight favourites to win the 2025‑26 Premier League title despite their 2‑1 loss to Manchester City at the Etihad on Sunday. Ryan Cherki opened the scoring for City, Kai Havertz equalised for Arsenal a minute later, and Erling Haaland netted the winner as City pushed for the lead. The result leaves Manchester City three points behind Arsenal with five games left to play, and City could go top with a win at Burnley in midweek.

Rooney argues the title race is far from over, noting City still has one more game to try to close the gap. He believes there will be more twists and turns and keeps Arsenal as his slight favourites for the crown.

For fans wondering whether to back Arsenal’s slim edge or prepare for a City comeback, the key questions are: Do you trust Arsenal’s current form and remaining fixtures to hold the lead, or do you think City’s depth and experience will see them overtake in the final stretch? How might injuries, fixture congestion, or mental resilience affect the outcome?
