Who will take the Premier League?

Premier League season is back after a two months break. With four games into the season, Arsenal and Manchester City are running neck and neck. Liverpool and Manchester United have meanwhile endured an indifferent start to the season. While it is still early days to draw conclusions, some youths already believe they know who will emerge winner come next year. They talked to Youth Blitz and here are their predictions.

It will be Manchester City because they are very strong team and have acquired a dangerous striker Haaland. They have all the experience, they have been together as a team for a long time and for me I think they will retain the trophy.

I will go with Manchester City because they are still the team to beat. I know some of their players like Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus left but they have made important additions like Haaland who has already proved that he is a great scorer. I think they will win the premier league.

Arsenal will take it. I say this not because I support the Gunners but I think we now have a balanced team. The defence has improved while the striking line is sharp. Jesus has improved our frontline and I think he will be consistent. You can see the hunger in the boys and for me I believe if we maintain the form we have started with then we shall take it.

I go with Liverpool. There are few teams which are consistent and have the never-give-up attitude like Liverpool. They have not started well but I know they will recover and become unbeatable. Jurgen Klopp has brought many players like Darwin and Diaz.

I believe Liverpool will take the cup. They now have a strong team which has been together for long. I believe this is their year. Yes, they have not started the season well, but it is too early to make judgment. Liverpool has a deep squad and since the season is going to be long, they are better placed than many teams.

Pius Byaruhanga, 25, student

It is Manchester City. No club plays the football they do and their manager Pep Guardiola is one of the best in the game. Arsenal have started well but they are just pace setters. They will reach a point and crumble. In the end, it is going to be Manchester City.

This is Arsenal’s year I have that feeling. Arteta has built a strong team and the boys are playing very well. I know some people are saying we shall reach a level and we break down but I think that will not happen. The squad is deep enough.
