Bernardo Silva, a star for Manchester City, has named the teams that can contend with Arsenal for the Premier League championship this year.
Currently, Arsenal is five points ahead of Man City in second place in the Premier League standings.
Silva thinks teams like Liverpool, Newcastle, Tottenham, Man City, and Manchester United can challenge the Gunners for the Premier League title ahead of Man City’s match against Everton on Saturday night.
According to Bernardo, who was evaluating the teams that could still catch Arsenal, “anything can happen in this league.”
“Newcastle since the takeover, have been investing very well. They are building a very good project and have done a fantastic job. Arsenal isn’t a surprise to me, maybe for some, there is a surprise.
“A very young team, very hungry, and especially very, very good. We are behind them, we’ve to go after them. It is a difficult league, they can win it, but they can also drop points. It is still very much alive, this league, and we are not in the perfect position. But we’re better than most teams, so we will keep fighting.”
He added, “Arsenal can make mistakes because even if they drop two points, they’ll be in the race with us and other teams.
“But if we drop more points, maybe Newcastle will go past us, [Manchester] United will go past us, Tottenham will go past us. Arsenal will keep running and it won’t be easy to go after them. No panic, but definitely motivation and a lot of focus to not let them go further away from us.
“Some teams are already quite, quite far behind Arsenal, I don’t know exactly how many points Liverpool are behind Arsenal, but I think it’s around 15. That gap is not easy to recover, but it’s possible. Then United is closer, and Tottenham is closer. Chelsea is far away, so it is not going to be easy for them as well.”
