Kylian Mbappe Drops Bold Prediction: Names His Pick for Premier League Champions

Real Madrid striker Kylian Mbappé has expressed his support for Arsenal to finally claim their first Premier League championship this season.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is eager to shed his team's image as perpetual second-place finishers and has invested significantly to bring in players such as Viktor Gyökeres, Noni Madueke, Martín Zubimendi and Piero Hincapié to his squad.

Despite these notable additions, Mbappé feels that Arsenal's established core group—including William Saliba, Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka—represents the key to their potential success.

When asked by BILD about his championship predictions, Mbappé recognized Liverpool and Manchester City as additional contenders for the title.

"Naturally, Liverpool must be considered the primary favorite, given their drive to secure consecutive titles," he stated. "However, I'm optimistic about Arsenal's chances, as their core squad has developed strong chemistry over time, which is vital in football.

"Manchester City remains a constant threat with Pep Guardiola and Erling Haaland leading the way."

When pressed for a specific prediction, Mbappé ultimately chose Arsenal as his pick for champions.

"It's challenging to predict," the Real Madrid attacker admitted. "Perhaps Arsenal will finally have their moment. It would be simpler to choose City or Liverpool."

Liverpool currently lead the Premier League standings, establishing a two-point advantage after three matches, helped by their 1–0 triumph over Arteta's Arsenal prior to the international pause.

Arsenal occupy third position with two victories from three outings, while City languish in 13th place following consecutive losses that have intensified scrutiny on Guardiola.
