Former Manchester City striker, Sergio Aguero, has recently made an unexpected prediction about the potential challengers for the Premier League title this season.
Despite Arsenal, Aston Villa and Liverpool currently occupying the top three spots in the league after 17 gameweeks, Aguero has chosen to back other teams as potential title contenders.
Aguero has named Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle as the teams capable of stealing the Premier League title from City this season. This prediction comes despite these teams not being in their best form or at their peak positions in the league table currently.
Former Manchester City forward, Sergio Aguero, said:
“You can never sleep on Man United at this stage of the season, They are one of the biggest threats to Man City’s Premier League title. I also think Tottenham are title contenders, who have improved a lot under Ange Postecoglou. Even despite their ups and downs, Newcastle are also in with a chance of the title as they always put up a fight.”
Manchester City won the league for a third successive time last season but have failed to establish their usual dominance in this campaign. They are currently sitting at fourth place on the leaderboard - five points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal who have amassed 39 points so far.
While Aguero's predictions might seem surprising given the current league standings, it is important to remember that football is an unpredictable game where fortunes can change quickly.
As sports fans and sports betting enthusiasts alike know all too well, anything can happen over the course of a season. It will be interesting to see how these predictions pan out as we move further into this exciting Premier League season.
