Manchester United legend Patrice Evra reveals key reason why Arsenal might not win Premier League title.

Manchester United Legend Patrice Evra



Speaking to Betfair, Evra shared his thoughts on the Premier League's return after the World Cup. The five-time Premier League winner said:

"My worry for Arsenal is the depth of the squad. I’m really excited to see who they are going to buy in January. Some clubs buy players when they are in a crisis, but like Sir Alex Ferguson used to do, you need to buy players when you’re at the top."

"Imagine if Saliba got injured, the impact he has on the team if he was to get injured they would be done. So, they need another centre-back."

"It’s a big chance for the owner of the club to backup Arteta. I’m sure that Arteta is convinced that Arsenal are going to win the league, and the players are convinced, but they need some backup."

"It's an exciting Premier League, and it's been an exciting start. For me, the three best teams right now are Arsenal, Newcastle United and Manchester City. We still don't know who's going to win, but I will tell you one thing, and this is coming from a Manchester United legend, I actually want Arsenal to win."

Saliba, 21, has established himself as a crucial member of Mikel Arteta's squad, playing at right centre-back alongside Gabriel Magalhaes. His standout outings this season helped him receive a call-up to France's 2022 FIFA World Cup squad. Saliba played a total of 27 minutes in the World Cup.

Saliba leads the Premier League with the most possession won in the defensive third. He has 70 sweeps whereas the second placed Maximilian Kilman has 58.

Juventus Expresses Interest in Signing Abde from Barcelona

  Ez Abde Italian club Juventus has reportedly made inquiries to Barcelona regarding the potential signing of Abde, according to the ‘Tuttomercato’ portal. The Turin-based team has directly approached Barcelona to inquire about the starting price for the young talent, with negotiations potentially settling around 15 million euros. Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri has been closely monitoring Abde’s performances throughout the season, both with Osasuna and the Moroccan national team, and is a strong advocate for the player’s acquisition. Abde is expected to be available for Barcelona’s upcoming US tour. While Xavi Hernández initially intended to assess and develop the player’s potential, the Catalan club recognizes Abde’s market value and the opportunity to generate revenue from a potential transfer. Several clubs, including Real Betis, have expressed interest, but Juventus appears to be the most eager at the moment. Barcelona, however, is in no hurry to make a decision and is car...

Where it went wrong for Three Lions against France in the World Cup and is manager Southgate the right man to lead England to the Euros 2024

  England manager Gareth Southgate against France in the World Cup 2022 quarter-final Southgate has allowed a new generation of England fans to dream. His accomplishments should not be downplayed or ignored. But England can't quite get over the hill when it counts. As was evident last night, and Italy in the final of the Euros, England struggle to turn that firm grip on the game into chances and goals. Deschamps's men were not better than England's. They just had that vital 1 per cent that carried them through. Winners win football matches. England had a better xG. England (2.59) 1-2 (1.32) France. Sure 2 of the chance were penalties which boosted the xG for England, but then its the tiny margins that can decide a World Cup knockout game. Both sides were taking out their opponents strengths, but then their own strength was not coming into play. England were creating chances, but never ones you thought had to be goals. Kyle Walker was stuck blunting Mbappe, and the same was ...
