ESPN FC · The Football Reporters: Will cautious Arteta cost Arsenal the title? · 27 Jan 2026 podcast

Strong midfield, good defence.

It's pretty much 1-11, isn't it?

They haven't got a lot of...

Last game of the season, by the way, City-Villa.

I'm still sticking with Arsenal because I think City's midfield will see them lose more games than they want to.

But just before we finish, finally, we all agree that Man Utd aren't going to win the league.

But will they finish fourth?

Will they beat Chelsea and Liverpool to fourth?

Or do you think it's just been a bit of a flash in the pan start for Pankhurst?

Ooh, I don't know.

I think I'm going to finish third.

You mentioned the advantage then of the top two having second legs at home all the way through, but is that really an advantage?

Because the reason I ask that is last season Arsenal vs Real Madrid, Arsenal really capitalised on being at home first, basically got an unassailable lead before they went to the Burnaby and I think there's an argument that unless you're Liverpool who obviously have the Anfield factor, as we can attest to, being at home first gives you the chance to get a lead which means you can just go away and defend.

So, I don't know, do you think it's an advantage to be at home second?

Especially Arsenal and City with going deep in both competitions domestically.

I mean, I'm not sure what...

I can't think of a comparable game, but last year City played Real Madrid in the playoffs, didn't they?

And that was the one that, you know, City were knocked out and that was a real jeopardy game.

The teams that are in there now, I mean, Juventus, Napoli, I just don't see any of those teams being a real kind of fear factor, certainly for the Premier League teams.

The Premier League seems to have dominated this season's competition.
