Michael Owen says only three clubs can win the Premier League next season
Michael Owen rates Liverpool as the favourites to win the Premier League next season and has surprisingly dismissed Manchester City's chances. Liverpool cruised to the Premier League title in Arne Slot's first season at Anfield, drawing level with Manchester United on 20 titles. The Reds became Premier League champions with four games to spare and would have finished even further ahead of second-placed Arsenal had they not taken their foot off the gas after the title celebrations. Owen has been impressed by Liverpool's summer transfer business and says his former club look well-placed to defend their Premier League title. Liverpool have bolstered Slot's squad with the signings of Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and Hugo Ekitike, while they could yet sign superstar striker Alexander Isak from Newcastle United. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link we'll send you so we can get football news tailored to you. Owen is 'firmly in Liverpool's camp' in regards to the 2025-26 title race and views Arsenal and Chelsea as their two biggest rivals. Arsenal finished second for the third year in a row last season and have strengthened Mikel Arteta's squad with the £64m signing of prolific striker Viktor Gyokeres. Chelsea, meanwhile, qualified for the Champions League and won the Conference League in Enzo Maresca's first season at Stamford Bridge, before winning the Club World Cup over the summer. While Owen is optimistic for Arsenal and Chelsea, he is less hopeful for Man City, who finished third last season as they chased a record-extending fifth successive Premier League title. 'Liverpool won the league by ten points last season despite getting two points from the last four games when they weren't really trying,' Owen said on talkSPORT. Liverpool 7-4 Arsenal 9/4 Manchester City 3/1 Chelsea 9/1 Newcastle United 33/1 (Odds courtesy of Betfair) 'They could have won the league by 20 points. That's winning the league by a mile. 'It's going to take some effort for anyone else to catch them when it also looks like Liverpool will be stronger than they were last season. It's going to be hard for anyone to catch them. 'I just think Man City were far off it last season and there's been so much change over the summer. 'They're almost unrecognisable given the amount of players they've brought in over the last year. I think that takes a little bit of time to bed in. 'Rodri will be back of course but there's no guarantee with him coming back from an ACL injury. 'No, I don't think they will win the Premier League. I don't think so. 'I'm firmly in Liverpool's camp, if there's going to be an upset I think Arsenal and the big outside is maybe Chelsea. I don't think Man City can bounce back that quick.' Asked about Arsenal's hopes following the signing of Gyokeres, Owen added: 'The pressure on him is incredible because Arsenal have been needing a centre forward for a long time now. 'All of a sudden they've got one and everybody thinks it's the missing piece of the jigsaw. 'He's then gone and taken number 14 [made iconic by Arsenal legend Thierry Henry], which just adds a load of pressure on. 'But if, if he strikes and he's good, then Arsenal are serious challengers again. But if not, then I can't see anything but Liverpool. This lad needs to be good for Arsenal, doesn't he.' Two clubs who were miles off challenging for the Premier League last season were Manchester United and Tottenham, who finished 15th and 17th respectively. More Trending Owen expects improvement from both clubs but doubts they will climb back into Champions League contention under Ruben Amorim and Ange Postecoglou's replacement Thomas Frank. 'They can't be as bad as they were and if you give them some leeway, they knew they weren't going to go down so they both prioritised that competition,' Owen, 45, said. 'They won't be as bad as they were but I can't see them jumping straight back into the Champions League positions next season. 'But you would expect a far better showing from both clubs.'

Panathinaikos vs Rangers LIVE score and goal updates from the Champions League clash in Athens
Some Like It Hot. But will Rangers enjoy the heat of Greece? They will have to cope with sweltering conditions in the Olympic Stadium in Athens to continue their Champions League journey. Thanks to a 2-0 win in the first leg at Ibrox, Russell Martin's side are in pole position for the lucrative league phase of UEFA's top competition. However, there is plenty of work still to be done for the Light Blues and if Panathinaikos had been more clinical – and kept 11 men on the park – it might have been a different story in the first leg. Martin will prefer to look at the positives and that's the fact they kept a clean sheet and scored a couple of goals as he goes about trying to finish the job. A tie against Servette or Viktoria Plzen in the third qualifying round is the reward for the winners of this one and it would be a huge boost to the new Rangers regime following their summer takeover. Hamza Igamane and new signing Thelo Aasgaard failed to make the trip, which comes just days before Saturday's Scottish Premiership opener at Motherwell. Rangers will want to go into that one in a high and they can do that by securing their place in the next qualifying round. 17:03Alan Galindo Sterling putting in the graft in QATAR Dujon Sterling will have one eye on Athens as he steps up his recovery. The Rangers star is currently in DOHA as he looks to get back to full fitness. His colleagues are of course in Champions League action and he will be praying they can do the business in their quest to reach Europe's top table. Sterling gave fans an inside look at the facility and the sort of work he is doing away from the training ground in a bid to get back to full fitness as soon as possible. One clip uploaded to Instagram shows him running in an anti-gravity treadmill. Russell Martin's new era is up and running and the former Chelsea man will be desperate to get on the grass and show he can be a big player for his new boss. A number of new players have arrived at the club including right-back Max Aarons. Gers put foot on the Gass Rangers took full advantage of Sheffield Wednesday's problems to land Djeidi Gassama, who scored in the first leg of their win over Panathinaikos. And the Owls could soon be plundered for more talent after the crisis club, who have lost manager Danny Rohl and are in complete turmoil, failed to pay their players for a third successive month. Wednesday players could now refuse to play with the Championship kick off just 10 days away. The ongoing uncertainty around the club saw forwards Michael Smith and ex Rangers man Josh Windass end their contracts by mutual consent. Owner Dejphon Chansiri is looking to sell the club amid a number of embargoes. Coady a Dragons target Russell Martin is still trying to strengthen his squad and Mikey Moore is expected to join on loan from Tottenham Hotspur imminently. Conor Coady is another on the Ibrox side's transfer radar but the Leicester City man is now being targted by big spending Wrexham. Coady is into the final year of his contract at the King Power Stadium but has featured heavily in Leicester's pre-season schedule despite his uncertain future. Spanish coach Marti Cifuentes has taken up the reins with the Foxes following Ruud van Nistelrooy's departure and has hinted that the former Liverpool youngster is part of his plans for the coming season. Martin has bolstered his defensive ranks at Ibrox with the arrivals of Emmanuel Fernandez from Peterborough as well as Max Aarons and Nasser Djiga on loan from Bournemouth and Wolves respectively. The ex Scotland international sees Coady, 32, as someone who could add some much-needed experience to his back line. However, Mail Sport now report that The Red Dragons - owned by Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney - want to bring in the England international as part of their ambitious plan to reach the English top-flight by 2027. Wrexham have secured back-to-back promotions to the Championship and the report adds that former Wolves skipper and 10-time England cap Coady is impressed with the intent shown by the mega-rich duo. The Racecourse Ground side have already smashed their transfer record twice in the summer window so far, snapping up Empoli's Liberarto Cacace for around £4million before splashing £5million on Lewis O'Brien from Nottingham Forest. Wrexham - managed by Phil Parkinson - are set to break the ceiling for a third time with the club closing in on a £7.5million deal for Ipswich Town forward Nathan Broadhead. Stadium switch Panathinaikos' ramshackle ground, Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium, is being rebuilt and the club will return back to their spiritual home for the new season. But it isn't ready in time for this clash with Rangers with the game switched to the Olympic Stadium in Athens. 15:46Gavin Berry The heat is on Thermometers are set to be nudging 35 degrees in sweltering Athens tonight. But while it will be testing conditions due to the soaring temperature, the Rangers players will be thankful it has dropped since the weekend. That led to the Greek government urging outdoor labourers to down tools and the Acropolis, the country's most visited ancient site, was closed as the country endured its third heatwave of the summer. They also advised tourists and residents to stay cool by avoiding heat and crowds as temperatures soared to about 40C. Ex Rangers striker Kris Boyd believes Rangers have to hold possession andhopes don't wilt in the Greek heat. The heat will be a factor. In terms of Russell and the way he wants his team to play, it's really important to go over there and keep the ball for 15, 20 passes and try to frustrate not only the home players, but the home crowd as well. Because if they can get behind their team, then it can be a difficult evening for Rangers, but they've given themselves a good opportunity to go through. It becomes difficult [in the heat] when you're chasing the ball, but if you're in control of it, and Russell has spoken about his team being able to keep the ball and for long periods of time, he'll be hoping that that comes to fruition in Athens, because if you can keep the ball from the opposition, that it goes a long way in a match. Whereas if you're the one that if you the team that's running about and trying to close the opposition down and get the ball back, it can be tiring. The heat will probably be mid-30s anyway, so it will be difficult, especially at this time of the season. 15:27Gavin Berry Predicted XI Comparing a Rangers manager to a Celtic luminary is tantamount to treason around these parts. However, deep down, there is a section among the Light Blues faithful who fancied a slice of Angeball for themselves and they now have their own blue-sky thinker in the form of Russell Martin. It's gung-ho time with the horseshoe firmly removed. The power of Postecoglou 's methods were his insistence to go for the jugular, home or away, rain or shine, so don't expect meek resistance when the whistle goes in the second leg of their Champions League second round qualifier against Panathinaikos. Sure they already boast a 2-0 victory from the first leg thanks to goals from Findlay Curtis and Djeidi Gassama. But Martin is built the same way as Postecoglou and he waxed lyrical about his admiration of the former Celtic boss days before Tottenham pasted his Southampton side in a result which put paid to his time at St Mary's. Rangers will go for it tonight in Athens because Martin has already said so, as the game appears set-up for a side who transition quickly against a Panathinaikos team desperate to score early and trigger a potty fanbase to untold levels of passion. The aforementioned Gassama appears in the mix to start but don't rule out 18-year-old Curtis getting the nod. The same is true for Danilo, Cyriel Dessers is back on the scene but the Brazilian's superior link-up play appears a necessity from the off. Here's how Record Sport think they might line up: 14:50Gavin Berry Prediction time Record Sport's top team try and predict how the showdown will go and who will reach the next stage of qualifying. Scott McDermott The tie is by no means over but Russell Martin's side can do enough to go through. With Djeidi Gassama in line for a start, he'll pose a major threat on the counter attack and will be key to Gers scoring a vital goal. Their experience - albeit under different managers - of going away from home in Europe and getting a result in recent years will be crucial. Panathinaikos 1 Rangers 1 Fraser Wilson Avoiding losing the first goal is important but I also strongly fancy Rangers to score as they exploit gaps when Panathinaikos open up and that should be good enough to see them through. It won't be without scares but a score draw will ensure progress is as comfortable as fans could hope for. Panathinaikos 2 Rangers 2 Keith Jackson Rangers take a two goal lead into this second leg but there's no way of knowing whether it'll be enough, given that the Greeks could have been three up in the first half of the opening leg at Ibrox. On the flip side, Russell Martin's side could have killed this tie stone dead after the turn around. An early away goal in Athens might knock some of the stuffing out of Panathinaikos but it will probably be a long, nervous night either way. Panathinaikos 2 Rangers 1 Gavin Berry It's going to be hot, humid and a bit sticky at times for Russell Martin's men. A typically nervy away day Champions League qualifier. Think Famagusta in 1995 and 2005, Copenhagen in 2003 and Belgrade in 2007 - but the two-goal lead can see Rangers through. Panathinaikos 2 Rangers 1 Scott Burns I think Rangers will have enough with their 2-0 cushion from Ibrox. There might be a few scary moments but I think they will see it through. Panathinaikos 1 Rangers 1 Ross Pilcher They might have to ride it out a bit but that could suit Rangers with the way Russell Martin wants them to play. It will be hostile, but they've done the necessary in Europe against better teams than the Greeks without a two-goal cushion. Panathinaikos 1 Rangers 1 14:44Gavin Berry Gers record in Greece Rangers will play in Greece for the sixth time they will be aiming for their first ever win there after drawing on their last four visits. Here's their record so far. 1994: CL QR: AEK Athens 2-0 RANGERS Rangers are well beaten in the Nikos Goumas Stadium after a double from veteran Dimitrios Saravakos, with new signing Basile Boli suspended. Rangers then lost the return 1-0 at Ibrox to dump them out of Europe. 1998: UC QR2: PAOK 0-0 RANGERS Rangers took a 2-0 lead from the first leg to the white-hot atmosphere of the Toumba Stadium and survived an onslaught with French keeper Lionel Charbonnier having a particularly good night after making a string of saves. 2003: CL GS: Panathinaikos 1-1 RANGERS Emerson had given Rangers the lead and they looked set to hold on for a huge win in the Champions League group stages before the ten-men hosts levelled through Pantelis Konstantinidis with three minutes left. 2008: UC R3: Panathinaikos 1-1 RANGERS Nacho Novo's late strike sent Rangers into the last 16 of the UEFA Cup on away goals after Ioannis Goumas had given the hosts the lead. Rangers went all the way to the Final before losing to Zenit St Petersburg in Manchester. 2024: EL League phase: Olympiacos 1-1 RANGERS Cyriel Dessers cancelled out a stunning second-half strike from Ayoub El-Kaabi to earn Rangers a decent draw in the new-look format. Under pressure manager Philippe Clement dropped captain James Tavernier and replaced him with Dujon Sterling in his line-up. 14:40Gavin Berry Pana boss sends message to Gers fans Panathinaikos gaffer Rui Vitoria has warned Rangers fans they partied too early at Ibrox - as he plans to end their Champions League hopes, writes Scott McDermott from Athens. The Portuguese boss believes his side can overturn a 2-0 deficit from Glasgow in Athens. Despite creating chances in the first-leg, Panathinaikos failed to take them as Russell Martin earned a vital victory in his first competitive game in charge. It allowed Rangers to put one foot in the next round but Vitoria is adamant the tie isn't over. He accepts that Ibrox punters were delighted with the win - but believes their over-confidence might come back to bite Martin's men. Vitoria insists home advantage will be crucial for the Greek outfit tomorrow night at the Olympic Stadium in Athens. When asked if he'd noticed Rangers celebrating at the end - and if he had a message for the Panathinaikos fans - Vitoria said: 'Good question. Of course, it was a result that gave pleasure and satisfaction to Rangers. 'But you should never forget there is a second match coming up. It's normal for their fans to be happy with the result. "We'll do our best because we're looking forward to qualification. Rangers are a good team but so are Panathinaikos. 'We'll have more than 40,000 fans behind us. They will give us confidence and we think we can still go through. "We have to be together and more united than ever. We had a nice atmosphere in Glasgow but, believe me, it will be a hot atmosphere in Athens. Our rivals will understand that it's not easy to play here - not for Rangers or anyone.'

Bullish Arsenal star Viktor Gyokeres responds to Thierry Henry comparisons and hits out at critics of record in Portugal
Gyokeres has already broken a record at Arsenal without even kicking a ball CHASING VIK-TORY Bullish Arsenal star Viktor Gyokeres responds to Thierry Henry comparisons and hits out at critics of record in Portugal Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LAST season, Viktor Gyokeres outscored Kylian Mbappe, Harry Kane, Robert Lewandowski and Mohamed Salah. And yet because the Swedish international banged in 39 goals in 33 games in the Portuguese Primeira Liga – not considered one of Europe's top five leagues – it apparently does not count.

Some will point to how Darwin Nunez – with 25 goals in 95 Prem outings so far for Liverpool – has struggled to make the leap from wowing at Benfica, as well as other examples like Porto's Fabio Silva joining Wolves [four goals in 62 Prem games] and Sporting's Islam Slimani joining Leicester [eight goals in 36 Prem games]. But for every Silva, there is Benfica's Raul Jimenez, with 59 goals in 197 Prem games for Wolves and Fulham. For every Slimani, there is Sporting's Cristiano Ronaldo, with 103 goals in 236 Prem appearances for Manchester United. Ahead of potentially making his Gunners debut against Tottenham in Hong Kong tomorrow, Gyokeres weighed in: 'I'll have to adapt. But there are a lot of players from Portugal who have done even better in England. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL Joao Much?

Especially if you're an attacking player. So we'll have to see. 'It's not really up to me how people think or expect.' Arsenal skipper Martin Odegaard does not share the view that Gyokeres could struggle, having already been left impressed by his new teammate's first two training sessions out in Asia. Join SUN CLUB for the Arsenal Files every Friday plus in-depth coverage and exclusives from The Emirates 5 Gyokeres is expected to make his debut against Tottenham Credit: Getty Norwegian Odegaard has specifically gone out of his way to bond with a fellow Scandinavian, and said: 'You've all seen what he's done in his career so far and especially the last season at Sporting, the numbers speak for themselves. 'He's a very complete player, a very complete striker. He's physical, strong, fast, good finisher and intelligent as well. Arsenal CONFIRM £63.5million Viktor Gyokeres transfer as striker takes iconic No14 made famous by Thierry Henry 'You can already see the hunger, the energy he brings. The quality, the willingness. I am so excited to share a pitch with him.' Gyokeres was a wanted man this summer. Man United were sniffing around with his old Sporting boss Ruben Amorim hoping for a reunion. But having not been given the chance in the Prem with Brighton between 2017 and 2021 – failing to make a single league appearance – the 27-year-old only wanted to return with the chance of competing for the highest honours, and that was under Mikel Arteta. Gyokeres explained: 'You can always have a decision about your future. Of course, there were other clubs as well, but I didn't feel it was a difficult choice for me this time. 'I don't think [a Prem comeback] was always on my mind. But of course, that was an option because it's the best league in the world, so that was always a goal. 'When I felt it was the right time, I didn't hesitate to come back.' Gyokeres is under pressure to score the goals that will win the North Londoners their first Prem title in 22 years, especially after choosing to wear the iconic No14 jersey. 5 Gyokeres has chosen to wear the iconic No14 shirt Credit: Getty The No10 jersey was also available, but SunSport understands that it has been earmarked for someone else. However the Swede refuses to be drawn on comparisons with Arsenal's all-time top scorer and 2004 Invincibles hero Thierry Henry. He said: "It's not really my intention to be compared with what he's achieved in his career. Especially here. 'I just want to do my own thing and show my qualities. Of course [Henry] was an amazing player, but different from me. I just want to try to do my own thing. 'Of course, I know about the history. But to be honest, there weren't so many numbers available. There weren't too many to pick from. But of course that one was available. 'So when I knew that, it was an easy choice to take it.' Arteta said: 'I use the word conviction and that's the first thing that I noticed when I spoke to [Gyokeres]. 'Someone very determined, someone that was already really attached, the way he was talking about the club, the history and in this case Thierry and what the shirt represented. 'He straight away felt it, and when you feel it, go for it.' Gyokeres' Sporting exit turned messy, refusing to train to push through a deal that saw club president Frederico Varandas dig his heels in until the very last minute, with accusations of broken promises and backstabbing. The Gyokeres we are used to seeing on the pitch is brash, bold and confident. A swagger that comes with the territory of being one of Europe's most prolific scorers. But sat in Arsenal's hotel with the Hong Kong skyline as a backdrop, Gyokeres is quiet, reflective, even shy, as he painted a picture of how tough the past few weeks have been. He explained: 'I haven't really been in that situation before. It's been a lot of waiting from my side. I tried to train as much as possible by myself and keep the day going. 'A lot of days were the same kind of routine. I woke up, trained, had dinner and then went to bed again. It was like that for a few weeks, but it was worth it for sure.' Thoughts are already turning to Arsenal's Prem opener against United at Old Trafford on August 17, where many hope it will be the start of an historic campaign for Arteta's Arsenal, spearheaded by a hungry Gyokeres ready to silence the haters. Asked if he would be ready to hit the ground running after a disrupted pre-season, Gyokeres simply said: 'Yeah.' He continued: 'You need a whole team that are together and play together, then you have a very good chance to have a great season. '[Arteta] has just told me to use my qualities as much as I can. I haven't been here too long. I've only done a few training sessions, but so far I have been feeling great. 'I just need to keep going the way I've been doing the last couple of years, to improve as well on the pitch. Try to help the team as much as I can.' The striker has already broken a record at Arsenal without even playing a single match. The demand for Gyokeres' No 14 shirts has exceeded that of any signing in recent history.
