EPL: Shearer snubs Man City, names Arsenal’s main title rivals
Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has identified Brighton & Hove Albion as the primary challengers to Arsenal in the Premier League title race.
As the November international break approaches, Brighton sits five points behind the Gunners. This season, the Seagulls are the only team to have defeated Mikel Arteta’s squad, claiming a decisive 3-0 victory at the Amex Stadium.
Brighton recently surpassed Manchester City in the standings following City’s 3-1 loss to Nottingham Forest, marking the team’s third consecutive defeat.
“Brighton could be Arsenal’s main challenge to the title this season,” Shearer told Betfair. “I think Liverpool are in transition. Chelsea is experiencing similar challenges. Both clubs have considerable work ahead.”
