Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher disagree as they pick their Premier League winners

Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher have shared their views on the 2025-26 Premier League campaign - and predictably can't agree on the outcome.

The fresh season kicked off at the weekend, with defending champions Liverpool making a flawless beginning.

Challengers Arsenal and Manchester City also bagged maximum points on day one.

However, Chelsea faltered against Crystal Palace despite their enormous summer outlay.

Those early results seem to have influenced both Carragher and Neville's thinking, as they've now delivered their forecasts for the coming 10 months, reports the Mirror.

Offering his assessment, the Manchester United legend has tipped Arsenal to claim the title - albeit narrowly.

He said: "I couldn't separate Arsenal, Manchester City or Liverpool. I think they're absolutely all in with an equal chance of winning it. Arsenal have been consistent over the last three years, they've been second. I do feel they'll get there at some point.

"Liverpool, the two full-backs have got to settle in. They look a little bit open. They are going to be exhilarating to watch. They're going to score a lot of goals.

"City have an unbelievable spine. I went for the team I've been going for the last three years, they're reliable and solid and consistent, which is important. They just have to sort that forward bit of the pitch out and I think Viktor Gyokeres will."

Carragher disagrees, however, and has picked Liverpool to make it back-to-back titles. He replied: "What I saw in the Community Shield, I didn't think I'd see on Friday night. I'm sure the manager has been speaking to the players in pre-season [about vulnerability] on the back of the Milan game, the Community Shield and to see it in three high profile games that did worry me a little bit.

"But if Liverpool fix that they have great firepower. A few days ago, I thought Arsenal would be Liverpool's biggest challengers.

"But the way they played [at Man Utd] was typical Arsenal of last season - the name of the game is winning games - it will be interesting over the next few weeks if we see them open up more, create more chances and see how they've evolved from last season. I was really impressed with Manchester City and I think it's Manchester City who might be Liverpool's closest challengers."

Away from the title, there is also disparity on the Champions League qualifiers. Carragher sees Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea finishing in the top four, while Neville has predicted the Red Devils to join their cross-city rivals and Liverpool.

Carragher has cheekily plumped for Man United as surprise European contenders, with Neville selecting Nottingham Forest. At the other end of the table, both agree that Wolves and Burnley will slip into the Championship, albeit Carragher believes Sunderland will be relegated, with Neville suggesting Leeds will be condemned to an instant return to the second tier.

Regarding individuals, both pundits selected Erling Haaland as their top scorer for the coming campaign, with Carragher highlighting Florian Wirtz and Neville suggesting Viktor Gyokeres as their impact signings.

They have also backed Estevao and Adrien Truffert of Bournemouth to shine. Finally, Carragher backed Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner to be his manager to watch, while Neville unsurprisingly selected Ruben Amorim.
