Jamie Redknapp Names Arsenal as Premier League Title Favourites After Impressive Start

Jamie Redknapp believes Arsenal are favourites to win the Premier League title this season, praising Mikel Arteta’s squad depth and tactical maturity.

Jamie Redknapp has boldly named Arsenal as Premier League title favourites, declaring that if he could swap places with any club right now, it would be the Gunners. The former England midfielder believes Mikel Arteta’s side have everything needed to go all the way this season.

“If you were to ask me whose shoes I’d like to be in, you’d have to say Arsenal,” Redknapp said on Sky Sport, backing the North London side to finally lift the Premier League trophy after years of near misses.

After finishing as runners-up in each of the last three campaigns, Arsenal have continued their upward trajectory. Redknapp sees a new level of balance and belief in the squad, crediting smart summer recruitment for their progress.

The signing of Martin Zubimendi has brought control and composure to Arsenal’s midfield, while Viktor Gyökeres adds power and depth in attack alongside Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus. According to Redknapp, these additions make Arsenal one of the most complete sides in Europe.

Tactical Maturity and Squad Depth

Pundits including Micah Richards have praised Mikel Arteta for refining Arsenal’s tactical discipline. The Gunners now combine aggressive pressing with patience in possession, a balance that sets them apart from many rivals.

Redknapp highlighted the team’s consistency in big matches and composure under pressure as signs of true title contenders. “You can see how comfortable they are playing from the back and managing tight games — that’s the mark of champions,” he added.

Arsenal vs Liverpool: The Defining Rivalry

While Redknapp still considers Liverpool the team to beat, he believes Arsenal are perfectly positioned to challenge for the crown. He pointed to Arsenal’s squad depth, form, and adaptability as major advantages in what promises to be one of the tightest title races in years.

Manchester City remain dangerous despite injuries to key players like Rodri, while Chelsea are still finding consistency under Enzo Maresca. But for Redknapp, Arsenal’s blend of youth and experience makes them stand out.

Redknapp’s comment about wanting to be in Arsenal’s shoes reflects more than admiration — it signals belief. Arsenal have transformed from hopeful challengers into genuine contenders. With hunger, tactical clarity, and star quality, they have the foundation of future champions.

As the season unfolds, the spotlight will remain firmly on the Emirates. If Arsenal maintain their form and fitness, Jamie Redknapp’s Arsenal title favourites prediction could prove prophetic by May.
