Steven Gerrard Predicts Premier League Title Race Contenders – Snubs Manchester United
June 5, 2025
Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has shared his predictions for the upcoming Premier League title race, identifying five clubs he believes will be strong contenders—but notably leaving out Manchester United.
Speaking in a recent interview, Gerrard expressed confidence in Liverpool’s chances under their new manager while highlighting several teams that could pose serious challenges in the race for the 2025/26 Premier League crown. Among those tipped by the former England captain are Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, and Newcastle United.
Gerrard’s omission of Manchester United raised eyebrows among fans and pundits, especially given the Red Devils’ ambitions to return to the top under their current leadership. While he did not elaborate on his reasons, the exclusion suggests Gerrard remains unconvinced by United’s current squad depth or recent performances.
“Liverpool are always in the mix, especially with the direction they’re heading,” Gerrard said. “City remain the benchmark, Arsenal are building something strong, Chelsea have recruited well, and Spurs and Newcastle have shown real intent. It’s going to be a tight race.”
The comments come as pre-season speculation ramps up, with clubs preparing to make major moves in the transfer window. With Gerrard’s bold prediction, the stage is set for what could be one of the most competitive title races in recent years—albeit without Manchester United in the conversation, according to the Anfield icon.
United fans may take Gerrard’s remarks as motivation, but for now, the spotlight remains firmly on the five clubs the former midfielder believes have what it takes to challenge for the league’s top honor.
