Liverpool, Manchester City, and Arsenal are identified as the three main contenders for the Premier League title this season. Despite Aston Villa being in and around the top three, it is perceived as challenging for them to clinch the title, leaving the other three clubs as the primary challengers.
As we enter 2024, Arsenal needs improvement to stay in close contention for the top spot in the league table and potentially secure the championship in the summer. While Mikel Arteta’s team has had a decent run in the league this season, they have not managed to pull clear of their rivals as they did in the previous campaign. Despite facing a tougher season, they are still considered one of the clubs in contention for the Premier League title.
According to a supercomputer prediction reported by The Sun, Arsenal is forecasted to win the league this season, marking their first title since 2004. The prediction suggests that Arsenal will outperform Liverpool and Manchester City to become the champions of England.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Winning the league is not an easy feat, but our players were very close to achieving this last season and can do better in this campaign.
We need to focus on ourselves and get back to form. If we can build a good winning run between now and the end of the term, we will be unstoppable.

One reported Thomas Frank phone call could give Spurs an almost surreal January boost
If we are honest with ourselves, this is the news all Tottenham fans have been waiting for: the opportunity for Frank to sign his one-time Brentford superstar striker, Ivan Toney. Spurs really haven’t had much luck with strikers, the most recent and perhaps worst example being the high-profile £50 million transfer (plus up to £10 million in add-ons) of Richarlison. The end of the Richarlison experiment Quite what Daniel Levy was thinking is anyone’s guess. Yes, there has been fan appreciation for his grit, but quite frankly, the game is all about goals. The Brazilian simply hasn’t produced anywhere near the volume of them in his domestic career, let alone during his many years at Tottenham. Goal.com reported recently that the 28-year-old has reportedly “given the green light” to such a move, partly to boost his chances for Brazil’s 2026 World Cup squad, but no deal is imminent—his €25 million market value and contract until 2027 make it a complex negotiation, possibly involving a loan or instalments. News from The Mirror Online The Mirror’s James Davies now understands that Thomas Frank telephoned Ivan Toney yesterday, asking him about a potential reunion in the Premier League at Tottenham Hotspur. The suspicion is that a loan deal could facilitate this. EXCLUSIVE: Thomas Frank held a phone call with Ivan Toney earlier today. The striker wants to leave Saudi Arabia and the pair discussed a potential reunion. A loan deal would be the likely route. #THFC — James Davies (@JamesDavies1212) October 30, 2025 Supporter reaction to the news Fan reaction on X to the possible news has been predictable enough fare: Yes please. Anyone is better than Richarlison at this point! Frank is gone by Boxing Day. Toney can stay in Saudi Arabia. This would potentially be a blessing, with Toney knowing the division and being a player who is known for getting fans up on their feet.
Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage is already making the rest of MLB look foolish for passing on him
The Toronto Blue Jays and their fans witnessed something special on Wednesday night. It doesn’t get much better than a convincing 6-1 Game 5 win to take a 3-2 lead over the superteam Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series. Heading back home with the chance to win a championship at the Rogers Centre was what truly mattered for the Blue Jays; however, the way it all played out in such a pivotal game at Dodger Stadium will go down in history. Starting pitcher Trey Yesavage was untouchable, throwing seven dominant innings where he allowed just one run on three hits while striking out 12. Those 12 punchouts set the rookie record for the most ever in a World Series game. Seven of them came against the heart of the order in Shohei Ohtani, Will Smith, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman. His one-of-a-kind splitter had them fooled from start to finish. Yesavage’s ridiculous rise from starting the year in Class-A Dunedin to carving up the best lineups in baseball in the postseason is unheard of. It makes you wonder how he fell all the way to the Blue Jays at pick No. 20 in the 2024 MLB Draft to begin with. Trey Yesavage has 18 teams regretting their decision While it’s still extremely early to be looking back on his draft class, what Yesavage has done these last few months can’t be replicated. A 22-year-old jumping onto a moving train with just three career MLB starts under his belt goes on to start five playoff games, posting a 3-1 record with a 3.46 ERA and a whopping 39 strikeouts. Those are the kinds of numbers you expect to see from Tarik Skubal or Yoshinobu Yamamoto, not a rookie with almost no big league experience. Nineteen different organizations let Yesavage slide down the draft board last July. At this point, the Athletics are the only ones who should feel alright about their decision, given that first baseman Nick Kurtz already looks like one of the best hitters in baseball. The 18 others look silly. While some of these prospects will certainly turn out to be good players, it’s safe to say that none of them will make this type of impact on the world’s biggest stage. If the Blue Jays can pull this off and win their third World Series title in franchise history, Yesavage will never have to buy another meal in Toronto again. Quite frankly, he’s been so good that he may not have to even if they don’t find a way to finish the job. No matter how this all ends, Yesavage has not only turned himself into a Toronto sports legend, but a Canadian sports legend. The city and country can't wait to see what else he has in store because if this postseason was any indication, then they are in for many more historic performances in the years to come.
Three teams that should pursue a trade for Titans WR Calvin Ridley
As the Tennessee Titans are free falling towards another season as one of the NFL's worst teams, they will likely sell off some of their higher priced players before the NFL's Nov. 4 trade deadline. Wide receiver Calvin Ridley tops the list of available players on the trade block even as he deals with a hamstring injury. Ridley's big play ability makes him an attractive option for teams looking to add another wide receiver. Even though he's been experiencing an up and down season so far - Ridley has only 16 receptions for 290 yards, he surpassed 1,000 yards in each of the past two seasons following sitting out 2022 due to being suspended for betting. So assuming Ridley is healthy enough to remain a trade target, here are the teams that should take a chance on the controversial wide out. Pittsburgh Steelers Aaron Rodgers may have stabilized the Steelers' quarterback position, but that doesn't mean the offense is as consistent as it needs to be for Pittsburgh to truly contend in the AFC. Pittsburgh has only exceeded 30 points twice through seven games. Desperate to increase their offensive output, especially with the defense struggling, the Steelers could use more receiver depth behind DK Metcalf. Acquiring Ridley would provide Rodgers another weapon and make the decision to place double coverage on Metcalf more of a risk for opponents. If Ridley can get back to form, he would unlock an extra dimension for a Steelers team that still holds a comfortable lead in the AFC North. New England Patriots One of the surprising results of the season so far, the Patriots are 6-2 and in first place in the AFC East. But if New England truly hopes to make a playoff push, second-year quarterback Drake Maye may need more at his disposal. To this point, Maye has been forced to work without a true deep threat. And while he's been able to methodically move the ball, Ridley would make his life much easier and stretch the field even more. Seattle Seahawks Another first place team who could use another playmaker, the Seattle Seahawks' offense has started to show signs of weakness in recent weeks. Much like the Steelers, the Seahawks have a legitimate No. 1 wide receiver in Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Month for October. He's been brilliant with three-straight 100 plus-yard games. However, Seattle has only scored 30 points once in its last four games. Pairing Smith-Njigba with Ridley would make the Seahawks more potent as they approach a stretch of the schedule with pivotal divisional matchups coming up.
Why Browns should get ahead of things and trade Myles Garrett
The NFL trade deadline (Nov. 4) is just four days away, and the rumor mill is hot as teams look to bolster their rosters for a playoff push or stockpile assets for the future. While there’s certainly going to be activity, insiders have suggested not to expect any major moves involving marquee players in the coming days. That’s usually the case when it comes to the trade deadline; however, that doesn’t stop the rumors and speculation around top talent on teams at the bottom of the standings. We’ve seen that in full force over the last week with Cleveland Browns (2-6) superstar pass-rusher Myles Garrett. Just eight games into the first season following a massive four-year, $160 million offseason extension, frustration has already boiled over for Garrett. Despite a remarkable five-sack Week 8 performance, his Browns were crushed 32-13 by the Patriots in New England, which led to the sideline helmet slam and emotional outburst that’s become the talk of the football world. As contenders around the NFL fantasize about the possibility of prying one of, if not the best, defensive players in the league out of Cleveland, reports quickly shut down that thought, particularly this one from ESPN’s Adam Schefter: You’d have to think that all but does it for the chances of a trade before Nov. 4, but crazier things have happened, and if the Browns were smart, they’d bite the bullet and get a haul for Garrett sooner rather than later. Why trading Myles Garrett is in Cleveland’s best interest If you’re a Browns fan, of course, you don’t want to see Myles Garrett leave Cleveland. That being said, when you take a step back and evaluate where the franchise stands, dealing away a soon-to-be 30-year-old pass-rusher for a massive haul makes too much sense. The Browns are unlikely to ever be serious contenders again during Garrett’s prime, and it’s pretty clear that even with a year-in, year-out DPOY candidate, this team isn’t close. Trading three first-round picks for Deshaun Watson set everything back in Cleveland, and they need to continue recouping draft capital to speed up this rebuilding process. There is no better way to do that than trading Garrett, who would command three first-round picks at a minimum, which the Philadelphia Eagles are reportedly already willing to pay. Knowing that, general manager Andrew Berry can create a bidding war between a handful of contenders to hit a home run of a return, spurring the Browns to turn the corner much quicker than they would if they hold onto Garrett for years to come. His recently signed contract extension often comes up as a rebuttal in these conversations, but Spotrac took a deeper dive, and it is an extremely movable deal if Cleveland is willing to eat some dead cap. It’s not an easy decision for Berry and the front office to make, but given the current state of the Browns and their future outlook with Garrett in the fold, the way to maximize such value is to trade him, either now or this offseason.
