Former Manchester United defender, Rio Ferdinand, has revised his Premier League title prediction following recent results that have intensified the title race. Speaking amid Arsenal’s return to the top of the table, Ferdinand admitted that momentum may now be swinging in Manchester City’s favour.
Arsenal, unbeaten in key fixtures and boosted by wins over Brighton and Aston Villa, begin the New Year as league leaders. Despite injury setbacks, Mikel Arteta’s side remain strong contenders after consistent second-place finishes in recent seasons.
However, Ferdinand noted that Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City appear rejuvenated after a run of eight straight wins across competitions. The former England international revealed that while he initially tipped Arsenal to lift the title, City’s growing momentum has forced a rethink.
Ferdinand warned that Arsenal’s January fixtures against Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United could prove decisive, stressing that their title hopes depend on seizing opportunities early as rivals close the gap.
