Five-time Premier League winner Wayne Rooney has warned Arsenal and Manchester City that the title race is far from a two-horse race.
The Manchester United legend insists that both clubs must remain wary of Liverpool, despite the Reds currently sitting further down the table.
The 2025 Title LandscapeFollowing a 2024-25 season where Liverpool took the title leaving Arsenal, Manchester City, and Chelsea to round out the top four the current standings show a shift in power:Arsenal currently holds a two-point lead over Manchester City as the league enters the Christmas period.
Liverpool, sitting in 5th place, is mounting a serious comeback.Arne Slot’s side is currently on a six-game unbeaten streak, recovering emphatically from their 4-1 Champions League loss to PSV.Rooney’s VerdictWhile Rooney acknowledges that Arsenal and City are the favorites to break away, he refuses to dismiss the defending champions.
“If [Liverpool] get a run of form and win a few games, you never rule them out,” Rooney stated. “If they get that support behind them, they can have a say.”
Though he praised Aston Villa for their “fantastic” campaign so far, the former England captain remains convinced that the trophy will likely end up with one of the traditional giants, provided Liverpool can maintain their current momentum.
