Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City are all duking it out in the Premier League title race.
Arne Slot, Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola will all be desperate to win the league this season.
The Premier League title race is heating up as we head into the festive period.
Liverpool are sitting pretty at the top of the table right now, while Manchester City can never be written off.
Gary Neville still thinks Arsenal will win the league, but after a slow start, that is looking more and more unlikely.

Speaking on TalkSPORT, Glenn Hoddle has been discussing the Premier League title race, and he’s now shared who he believes are the favourites to win the league now.
Glenn Hoddle names Premier League title favourites
Hoddle shared his verdict on who is most likely to win the Premier League from this point.
The pundit says that he thinks Liverpool are the biggest contenders now, and he says that if they can get results in their games against Manchester City this season, they will have a serious chance of winning the league.
“Just one last one Glenn, who would be your favourites to win the Premier League. I know you can’t say Arsenal, so would it be Liverpool or would it be City?” Hoddle was asked.
“I can say Arsenal, but I wouldn’t be able to walk down the street. I generally think Liverpool. I think they are contenders now. They have a buffer over Arsenal and they have to get that buffer over City. I think if they can get results against them they seriously have a chance this year.”
“Rodri has been a big miss for City, if Pep signs a new contract that will lift the club, and the club needs lifting in some ways.”
Liverpool’s record vs Manchester City
Hoddle says that Liverpool can win the league if they can get results against Manchester City this season.
Sadly for the Reds, that is much easier said than done.
Indeed, City haven’t won four league titles in a row for no reason.
Pep Guardiola’s side are almost unbeatable on their day, and Liverpool’s recent record against the Premier League champions shows that.
Date Liverpool’s last 10 Premier League games vs Man City 3 January 2019 Man City 2-1 Liverpool 10 November 2019 Liverpool 3-1 Man City 8 November 2020 Man City 1-1 Liverpool 7 February 2021 Liverpool 1-4 Man City 3 October 2021 Liverpool 2-2 Man City 10 April 2022 Man City 2-2 Liverpool 16 October 2022 Liverpool 1-0 Man City 1 April 2023 Man City 4-1 Liverpool 25 November 2023 Man City 1-1 Liverpool 10 March 2024 Liverpool 1-1 Man City
Liverpool have won just two of their last 10 Premier League games against City, and if that record does’t improve, Liverpool may struggle to win the league.
However, this is a different era. Arne Slot is now in charge at Anfield, and City’s squad is ageing and riddled with injuries.
Who knows? Perhaps Slot will have Pep Guardiola’s number in a way Jurgen Klopp never did.
There’s still a long way to go in this title race, but at the moment, Liverpool are in a good position to kick on and become champions.
