The 2025–26 Premier League season has begun after Liverpool won it at a relative canter the previous time out. Manchester City and Arsenal will try to spoil the celebration, while the Reds will want to hold onto their title as winners. However, which squad does Kylian Mbappe believe will win the championship in May?
Football’s best talents will always be interested in England’s top flight because of its size and prestige, and Mbappe, a goal-scoring sensation for Real Madrid, is one of those watching to see who wins the title of English champion.
Chelsea, the current Club World Cup champions after defeating Paris Saint-Germain, is also trying to disturb the status quo close to the top of England’s major division, but it’s probably going to be one of Liverpool, City, or Arsenal that takes home the trophy.
Mbappe Identifies His Pick for the 2025–2026 Premier League Title
Will Slot and company have an easy time now that Alexander Isak, a sharpshooting center-forward, is on board? Will Guardiola leave his position at the Etihad Stadium after winning one final championship? Will Arsenal win the greatest reward of all and finally put a stop to their lack of trophies?
Fans will naturally find out in May 2026, but that hasn’t stopped 26-year-old Mbappe, a former Monaco and PSG player, from making a prediction just three games into the season.
According to The Metro, the Los Blancos star, who is considered to be among the fastest players in football history, stated in an interview with the German newspaper Bild that only Slot’s team would be present or close to it. Regarding Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, he made the same statement.
Naturally, Liverpool must be considered first and foremost because of their unwavering commitment to winning championship after championship. However, I also have great expectations for Arsenal because the team’s core has been together for a long time, which is important in football.
Because Guardiola’s City are the only Premier League team in history to win four straight titles (2020–21; 2021–22; 2022–23, and 2023–24), and because of his fierce rival Erling Haaland, Mbappe was compelled to mention them as potential title contenders as well. “And Manchester City, with Pep Guardiola and Erling Haaland, is always at the forefront anyway,” he added.
Mbappe deviated from the norm when asked who would win the Premier League, predicting that Arsenal, who have finished second in consecutive seasons, will manage to break that pattern this time around by completing the season at the top of the three, something they haven’t done since 2003–04.
That’s difficult. Perhaps Arsenal will have a successful year. It would undoubtedly be simpler to mention Liverpool or City.
As of this writing, Slot’s team is the only one with three straight victories after defeating teams like Bournemouth and Newcastle United. Arsenal’s recent 1-0 loss to Liverpool ended their winning run, and City has only earned three points from their first three games against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Tottenham Hotspur, and Brighton & Hove Albion. Next up for them is Manchester United.

Mbappe, who was born in Paris, stated: “I always say Real Madrid will win this season’s Champions League.” However, there are a lot of excellent teams in Europe. With the new Champions League format, we saw that last year was fantastic. It will be even better this year. Who wins in the end will be intriguing to watch.
