Liverpool WILL Win the Premier League Again — Three Reasons They’ll Beat Arsenal and Man City to the Title

Liverpool followed up last season’s Premier League title triumph by spending £446.5 million on summer signings in a record-breaking transfer window.

Many fans and pundits declared the title race a foregone conclusion. How could anyone be expected to compete when the best team just got close to half a billion pounds better?

But public opinion has since shifted. Liverpool, after losing the Community Shield on penalties and then needing late winners in six of their next seven games, have suffered three defeats on the bounce in all competitions.

Arne Slot’s men remain just one point off the top of the Premier League, but the bookies no longer see them as favourites. That tag now belongs to Arsenal, who are odds-on with most betting sites to become champions of England for the first time since 2004.

Don’t write Liverpool off though. That would be very silly. In fact, we can think of three reasons to make us firmly believe that Liverpool will top the table again in May.

Why Liverpool will win the 2025/26 Premier League title race

1. Liverpool have the best squad in the Premier League

Liverpool didn’t just spend big — they spent smart. The £446.5 million summer outlay added elite quality across the pitch, but the benefits of that investment haven’t fully materialised yet. New arrivals always take time to settle, and history shows Liverpool’s biggest success stories weren’t instant hits.

Florian Wirtz has flashed his creativity but is still adapting to the speed and physicality of the Premier League. Alexander Isak arrived late, missed most of pre-season and has yet to hit full match sharpness. Hugo Ekitike has shown promise in bursts, while Giorgi Mamardashvili’s debut suggested the goalkeeping department is still in safe hands even without Alisson.

These aren’t panic signings — they’re long-term investments. In previous eras, Andy Robertson, Roberto Firmino and Fabinho all took months before becoming undroppable. This squad has more potential and more depth than the one that won the league last season, and once it clicks properly, there is no side in England who can match it.

2. Arsenal and Man City are flawed title rivals

The narrative has flipped quickly. Arsenal are suddenly being talked about as favourites, but nothing about their recent history suggests they will finish the job. Mikel Arteta’s side have ended the last three seasons in second place and repeatedly faded when the pressure peaked.

Even now, Arsenal’s surge to the top comes off the back of a fairly soft fixture list. They’ve only faced two of the current top eight so far — and failed to win either of those games, while visibly lacking conviction and confidence in both.

Manchester City look far from bulletproof either. After dropping 43 points last season, Pep Guardiola’s men have already slipped up in three of their seven Premier League games this term. Liverpool’s inconsistency has grabbed headlines, but City have looked even shakier.

If this is the season of imperfections, Liverpool are still the most complete of the contenders. Arsenal may lead after seven games, but when the title race becomes a test of nerve, depth and consistency over 38 matches, past patterns suggest they’ll blink first.

3. Liverpool’s “crisis” has been exaggerated

A three-game losing streak always creates noise, especially when you’re champions. But context matters. They were all tight away defeats against top opposition.

Liverpool have already played five of the current top eight in the Premier League, yet they are only one point off the top.

This is not 2023, when Klopp’s side looked spent and stuck in transition. This Liverpool team is younger, deeper and stronger — and crucially, led by a manager who delivered a title in his first season. Slot didn’t inherit success; he elevated it. One rocky fortnight doesn’t undo that.

Momentum can shift quickly the other way, too. Some fans think Mo Salah should be dropped, but Liverpool’s next match after the international break is against Manchester United, his favourite opposition. A big win against Ruben Amorim and his ropey 3-4-3 has the potential to kickstart a stuttering season.

Furthermore, once Isak finds his feet at Anfield, Liverpool’s attack will be led by a No 9 capable of wrestling with Erling Haaland for the Golden Boot, while you can be sure that captain Virgil van Dijk’s leadership doesn’t waver under pressure.

Liverpool’s so-called blip has arrived early — and that’s no bad thing. If this is their rough patch, at least they’ve navigated it without losing touch.
