Liverpool has been left out of Thierry Henry’s prediction for the 2025–2026 Premier League champion. With a 10-point gap between themselves and Arsenal, the Reds won their 20th English league title last season, setting a new record. It was Arne Slot’s first season as manager.
Most people agree that the champions have also hired the best thus far this summer. Before Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong followed Florian Wirtz through the doors of Anfield, he broke the British transfer fee record. They are currently looking for a new striker, and Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak are being actively watched.
The rest of the nation appears to be confined to a hopeful game of catch-up. Henry, who is perhaps the best player in Premier League history, is still certain that his old team should go all the way and win their first league trophy in more than two decades, going all the way back to when he was still leading the Gunners’ assault.
Thierry Henry Predicts Arsenal To Win 2025/26 Premier League Title
It would put an end to three runners-up finishes in a row
Arsenal has placed second each of the last three seasons. And although it appeared that they would be the first to jump in if Manchester City’s winning machine faltered, Liverpool proved they had what it took to win another game last season. However, Henry thinks Mikel Arteta will help them win in 2026.
The Frenchman praised Arteta in a recent interview with Men in Blazers, despite the fact that, despite six years in command, he hasn’t taken home nearly as much hardware as many would have anticipated. Watch the entire segment below to hear what he said:
Do I believe Mikel Arteta is performing admirably? Fantastic work. Do I believe he ought to be fired? Absolutely not. Will I believe that we will win the league this year? Indeed. It must be better since it has been nice.
“When people keep asking if we’re going to cross the line, I do understand,” he added. However, if we place second, second, and second throughout the course of five years, it does not imply that we will fail once more. You won’t always be successful.
It’s true that some people worry that the Gunners might have lost their great chance to win and that they will soon lose steam as a result of their own personal failures. Every major club has experienced a drought following a period of dominance; it takes a great player to keep returning for more.
However, if Arsenal wants to avoid being known for what could have been rather than what was accomplished, they must begin quickly converting those near-misses into real victories.
