‘I would say’: Jose Mourinho predicts who is going to win the Premier League this season

After a dramatic weekend of football, Jose Mourinho has now given his thoughts on the title race between Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool.

With both Liverpool and City drawing over the weekend, and Arsenal beating Brighton Hove Albion, Mikel Arteta’s side are now one point clear.

Reigning champions Man City further dropped points following a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace on Saturday, and they are currently fourth in the table, five points off Arsenal.

Nevertheless, Mourinho expects Pep Guardiola’s side to narrowly pip Liverpool to the title. Of course, he is pretty well accustomed to what is needed in a title race, he’s won his fair share

The Premier League legend was speaking on ‘The Obi One Podcast‘ with John Obi Mikel and provided his prediction.

Mourinho said: “I would say Man City 51 [percent], and Liverpool 49 [percent].”

Presenter replied: “No Arsenal?”

Mourinho: “Nah!”

Presenter: “The rivalry is still there.”

Mourinho: “It’s not the rivalry it is in the right moments.

“Rivalry apart, I would like them to win. Of course, Chelsea is not going to win. It is out of the question.

“Manchester United is not going to win it too. So it is between these three and out of these three I would like Arsenal to win it.

“But 51, 49. And I say 51, 49 because when the accumulation of matches are coming Man City has two teams.”

Many fans are unlikely to agree with Mourinho, but his opinion when it comes to winning league titles should not be taken lightly.

Man City are struggling right now, but there is no denying that they have the experience to go all the way when the games start piling up.

It takes more than desperation to win the Premier League, and Man City are still going to fancy their chances despite their recent dip in form.
