In a recent press conference following Bayer Leverkusen's 4-0 loss to Arsenal in a pre-season friendly, manager Xabi Alonso expressed his thoughts on the upcoming Premier League season, singling out three teams poised to challenge for the title. Alonso confidently named Arsenal, Liverpool, and reigning champions Manchester City as the frontrunners in what promises to be an exciting race.

Alonso commended Arsenal for their consistent performance and strategic development under the leadership of Mikel Arteta. He noted, "Arsenal for sure it’s not just last year; they have been creating a project. Mikel is leading a great team at a great club. They are going to be challenging with the big ones for sure." Despite missing out on the title by a narrow two points last season, Arsenal appears to remain steadfast in its ambition to reclaim the championship.

Alonso also highlighted Liverpool's potential resurgence, indicating that the Merseyside club is poised to make a significant impact this season, alongside City, who consistently maintain their status as title favorites.

As the Premier League approaches, all eyes will be on these three clubs as they vie for the prestigious title, setting the stage for what could be a thrilling season ahead.
