EPL: Gallas names only team that can challenge Arsenal for title this season
Former France defender William Gallas has predicted that Manchester City will be the principal competitor for Arsenal in the race for the Premier League title this season.
As of now, Arsenal sits six points clear at the top of the table, while City has fallen to third place after suffering a 3-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest last weekend. Brighton holds the second position, maintaining a strong start to the campaign.
Despite Brighton’s early success, Gallas believes City remains the key challenger to Arsenal under manager Mikel Arteta.
“It will be very interesting to see if they can maintain that performance until the end of the season, but we know the second part is always the most difficult time for any club,” Gallas said in an interview with Tribal Football.
He added, “Right now, it looks like only those two teams, Arsenal and Manchester City, are really going to fight for the title.”
