Gary Lineker has shared who he thinks will emerge victorious in this season’s three-way Premier League title race.
The top three, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City, are separated by just one point before the Reds travel to rivals Manchester United on Sunday afternoon in a gripping and difficult-to-organize title race.
However, Lineker took a chance, predicting that Arsenal would finish top of the table on Sunday, May 19.
The Gunners returned to top spot on Saturday night with an assertive 3-0 win at Brighton, and speaking on Match of the Day, the presenter revealed he believes the Gunners will win their first league title in 20 years .
“Imagine the scene, last day of the season,” Lineker said Saturday night.

Arsenal moved to the top of the table with a 3-0 victory over Brighton on Saturday, but Liverpool are just one point behind and face Manchester United on Sunday.
‘Arsenal need a win to take the title in the very last game of the day which Ian Wright plays. It’s written in the stars my brother.’
Ian Wright has scored 179 goals in 278 appearances for Arsenal and announced in late 2023 that he would leave the BBC show at the end of the season.
The 60-year-old pundit Wright spent 27 years on the show but cited giving “quality time” to his family as his reason for stepping down.

While Lineker referenced Wright’s final appearance on the show as part of his reasoning for why Mikel Arteta’s side would win the title, he predicted they would win the title in August on ‘The Rest’ podcast Is Football” with Alan Shearer and Micah Richards.
However, the former England striker also predicted the Gunners would achieve the same feat last season, before falling at the final hurdle, finishing second behind Manchester City.
Arteta’s side have seven games remaining before their fate is sealed, facing Everton on the final day, while Liverpool face Wolves and current champions City host West Ham.
