Who will win the Premier League? Predicting the title race, analysis on remaining games

The Premier League title race is going to be an extremely tight race until the very end, as we enter the final stretch of the 2023-24 season.

But, who will win it all?

Reigning champs Manchester City are in a very strong position but even though the Gunners have the toughest remaining schedule, they are hanging in there. Liverpool have the Jurgen Klopp factor as he enters his final few games in charge but the Reds have stumbled at precisely the wrong time of the season and look to now be out of the title race.

At one point we were calling Aston Villa and Tottenham outside title contenders but any fairytale hopes they had have fallen by the wayside.

With a handful of games to go it is all about Arsenal and Manchester City, while Liverpool still have a very slim chance of winning the Premier League trophy.

Below we focus on the current top three in the Premier League and predict the points they will get and how it will all pan out between now and the final day on May 19.


Arsenal

Current position: 1st
Current points: 83 points (+60 goal difference)
Games remaining: Manchester United (A), Everton (H)
Predicted points: 89 points

We thought Mikel Arteta’s side were a different animal to last season. But their shock defeat at home to Aston Villa (a very good side) felt all too familiar to their collapse last season. But Arteta’s side bounced back from that with four-straight PL wins as he rolled out Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard time and time again. Their away game at Man United seems the most likely stumbling block for Arsenal now. City have more depth and experience but Arsenal have real quality and can take it down to the final game of the season. The Gunners are waiting patiently for any slip up from Man City.

Manchester City

Current position: 2nd
Current points: 82 points (+54 goal difference)
Games remaining: Fulham (A), Tottenham (A), West Ham (H)
Predicted points: 91 points

We all know City are a juggernaut and at this time of the season they kick on. Even though they are looking susceptible on the counter attack, Erling Haaland is back fit and his four goals against Wolves underlined his clinical nature has returned. City are in imperious form and have peaked at the right time. They know if they win their final three games (all very winnable, with Tottenham away the only really tough game but are Spurs going to want to give Arsenal a chance of winning the title?) they will be champions. They are now the red-hot favorites.

Liverpool

Current position: 3rd
Current points: 78 points (+43 goal difference)
Games remaining: Aston Villa (A), Wolves (H)
Predicted points: 84 points

Just as Liverpool’s injury issues eased they suffered a shock home loss to Crystal Palace and now have fallen to Everton and drawn at West Ham in a triple whammy of a setback. Their lack of ruthlessness in recent poor displays proves that nerves were there and even though Klopp factor was the x-factor for Liverpool as their players wanted to give him a trophy-laden finale, they will surely come up just short.

And the winner will be...

Manchester City! Okay, this prediction could change before May 19 but you can’t look past Pep Guardiola’s side hitting top form at the perfect time of the season. City still have to rotate expertly down the stretch but they have so much experience in these kind of situations. It is clearly advantage Manchester City but Arsenal are hanging in there and will make the most of any Man City slip up. Liverpool aren’t really a factor anymore after their woeful form in April. There are still plenty of twists and turns to come. Grab the popcorn.
