Arsenal are currently at the top of the English Premier League table, followed by Manchester City in second. The Gunners, however, lost their most recent game against Manchester United 2-3, something which Pep Guardiola would want.
The Sky Blues manager recently stated that he hopes Arsenal would give them a chance to coke closer to them in the title race. Thats exaclty what happened when Mikel Arteta’s squad was beaten by the Red Devils under their new manager, Michael Carrick. Arsenal are now just four points ahead of Guardiola’s City in the title race.
Man United icon calls Arsenal “worst team to win Premier League” if Mikel Arteta wins title
Meanwhile, a Man United legend has called out Arsenal to be the worst team in case they manage to lift the Premier League title this season. Paul Scholes, during his appearance on the latest episode of The Good, The Bad and The Football podcast, said:
“If Arsenal win the league, this could be the worst team to win the league.”
Scholes, who has won 11 league titles at Old Trafford, continued:
“If you’re thinking of picking a team of the season and picking the front four, nobody from the Arsenal team gets in that.”
Comparing the Premier League 2025-26 leaders with the previous champions, Liverpool, Scholes said:
“Look at previous champions – Liverpool’s forwards, brilliant. Possibly the only one is Saka, and I don’t think he’s been brilliant. He’s not scored many goals this year or assists.”
Meanwhile, Arteta’s side lost for the first time in over a month during Gameweek 23 as the Red Devils went into the Emirates Stadium and handed the Gunners their first home defeat of the season. Following the loss, Arsenal has now dropped points in three top-flight games in a row, giving hope to the nearest chasers, City and Aston Villa.
