Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp reaffirmed his conviction that Arsenal will secure the Premier League trophy this season following their emphatic 4-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur. Speaking during the post-match analysis of the North London Derby on Sunday evening, the former England midfielder dismissed suggestions that Manchester City would eventually overhaul the Gunners. Arsenal currently maintains a five-point advantage over the defending champions, although Mikel Arteta’s squad has contested one additional fixture in this high-octane title race.
Redknapp acknowledged the resilience of Pep Guardiola’s side, particularly noting their narrow 2-1 win against Newcastle United at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. He described that victory as a significant hurdle for City, yet he maintains that the momentum sits firmly with the North London club. While the remaining schedule promises further volatility, Redknapp views the current Arsenal roster as a more cohesive unit capable of handling the psychological weight of the final stretch.
“There will be some ups and downs, but I still believe it’s Arsenal’s season.”
The former Liverpool and Spurs captain highlighted the clinical nature of Arsenal’s recent performances as the primary reason for his optimism. Even with the narrow games remaining, he expects the leadership of Martin Ødegaard and the scoring form of Viktor Gyökeres to provide the necessary edge. Arsenal’s ability to maintain a healthy gap despite City’s relentless pursuit suggests a shift in the domestic power balance that Redknapp finds hard to ignore.
As the 2025/26 campaign enters its decisive phase, the battle for supremacy remains the central narrative of English football. Manchester City continues to apply pressure, but Redknapp insists that the Gunners possess the maturity to navigate any future setbacks. Supporters now look forward to the coming weeks to see if Arsenal can finally end their two-decade wait for league glory and prove the pundit’s prediction correct.
