‘I will be surprised if Arsenal finish above Chelsea next season’

Manchester United legend Louis Saha has predicted that Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea will all finish above Arsenal in the Premier League next season.

Arsenal came close to winning their first league title since 2004 last term, eventually finishing five points behind Manchester City.

Chelsea, meanwhile, finished last season in 12th place, 40 points behind 2nd placed Arsenal.

Asked who he expects to be Manchester City’s biggest rival for the title next season, Saha told Betfred: “I believe that Liverpool are going to be up there and will most likely be the main threat.

“Everybody will probably say Arsenal because of what they did last season, but even if they make some good signings this summer, I’ll still be surprised if they finish ahead of Man City, Liverpool, Man United and Chelsea next season.”
