- Cole predicts full table
- Expects متحد to endure a terrible campaign
- أرسنال tipped to fall out of title contention
Cole and the rest of his TNT pundits have made predictions for the 2025/26 season, and the ex-تشيلسي star is very down on the prospects of both United and the Gunners. Ruben Amorim’s side limped to a 15th-placed finish last season and while Cole does expect them to improve, he believes they will once again be marooned in mid-table.
Cole has backed ليفربول to win the الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز title for the second successive year, with مانشستر سيتي runners-up and Chelsea in third. Arsenal, he predicts, will finish fourth, potentially falling away from title contention despite them finishing as runners-up last season.
By comparison, his fellow pundits, Alan Shearer and Owen Hargreaves, have predicted United to finish sixth and seventh respectively, while they have both backed Mikel Arteta’s side to finish second. All three believe Liverpool will once again be crowned champions.
The Premier League kicks off next Friday when Liverpool face كريستال بالاس. Arsenal and United kick off their season against each other.
