Michael Owen makes Arsenal Premier League prediction

Michael Owen believes Arsenal will suffer disappointment to Manchester City again in the Premier League this season.

They will once again finish above Owen's former club Liverpool though, says the former England striker.

"Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool but I don’t think there is a standout for fourth," he told PrimeCasino.

"I don’t fancy Manchester United, Chelsea might be back to square one with a new manager, it might be Tottenham or even Aston Villa again.

"It’s impossible to say if Pep would have won less with Sir Alex Ferguson around, obviously it would’ve given him more competition than he has at the moment, but Manchester City have taken the game to a new level.

"Probably the big question is how many titles Liverpool would have won over the last few years if Pep Guardiola wasn't City manager.

"To win only one title with that great team, that just shows you how good Manchester City have been. Let's just say one or two less if Fergie was in charge at Manchester United, I'm sure.

"But it won't be long until Pep Guardiola leaves and that might change things in the Premier League once he leaves because he's so bloody good, it's hard to win anything with him in charge at the moment."
