Newcastle United aiming to defend their crown after beating Liverpool en route to their first major title in the 21st century.

Arsenal are clear favourites to win the Premier League this season, as their consistency sits in stark contrast to that of their rivals. The Gunners have looked solid at the back, while doing just enough in attack to give Mikel Arteta some big results early on, with Arsenal’s win over Crystal Palace just the latest triumph.

Meanwhile, all three newly promoted clubs have won on the same Premier League matchday for the first time since November 2020.

After coming agonisingly close in the past three seasons, the Gunners have been told that anything less than lifting the trophy this year could mark the end of Arteta’s tenure in north London.
