Key Highlights
- Others focus on what he can’t do rather than the things he can.

If Tuchel selects Jordan Henderson ahead of Wharton, he deserves to fail. Arsenal will fall short againArsenal’s sizeable investment in new players last summer demonstrated that they were serious about ending their long wait to win the Premier League. They have been in excellent form during the first half of the season and will never have a better chance of finishing on top of the pile. However, Manchester City are hot on their heels and still have a home game to come against Arsenal.
- More heartbreak is on the cards for the Gunners.

However, the club have stalled a little in the Championship, which is no surprise given manager Phil Parkinson’s underwhelming record at that level. The co-owners may allow him the chance to prove his doubters wrong this season, but failure to win promotion will probably result in them saying farewell to Parkinson. Eddie Howe – Third time’s a charm?We have twice predicted that Newcastle United would sack manager Eddie Howe.

With that in mind, once more to the well we go.
- Howe will leave Newcastle before the end of next year.
- Definitely this time. Emery to win a trophy with VillaIt’s all been a tad gloom and doom up to this point, with predictions that teams will fail to win trophies and managers tipped to head to the dole queue. To lighten the mood, let’s take the plunge and tip Aston Villa to win silverware under manager Unai Emery this season.

United will be in a better place by the end of 2026While Ruben Amorim has yet to convince everyone that he is the right man to manage Manchester United, he does have them heading in the right direction. The Red Devils are in contention for a top-four finish this term, which is a significant step forward after last season’s debacle. With another two transfer windows to get the squad where it needs to be, Amorim will have United in a much better place by the end of 2026. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementEcuad.
