Former Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero predicted Arsenal would win the title this season but was wrong about two things.
Arsenal are on track to win their first Premier League title in nearly two decades.
A thrilling 2-2 draw with Liverpool puts them at the top of the table with 6 points and only 8 games left, the fate of the Gunners in their hands.
However, Aguero saw it happen when predicting Arsenal's rapid rise in August.
However, the retired Argentinian made two more mistakes. What did he say?
Aguero, who has won the Premier League five times with Manchester City, can predict that his former team will be a strong candidate for the 2022/23 trophy.
But the 34-year-old is also eligible to pursue Arsenal, citing excellent pre-season form that helped them lift the Emirates Cup following a 6-0 win over Sevilla.
Although Aguero has put Liverpool and Chelsea on his roster, it shows both are seriously competing for the title.
Speaking to Stake.com, Aguero said:
“My candidates are Manchester City, which I think I can repeat, Liverpool, Chelsea and I add Arsenal, a team that has consolidated very well and has had great pre-season games. “Everything will be very equal, as it is, but we will have to pay attention to the performance of Arsenal, the team has put together a great project with the help of Arteta and I think this year Now they will bring people something worth talking about. ."
Liverpool and Chelsea have had to go through difficult campaigns in the Premier League with neither team competing for next season's European Cup.
Jurgen Klopp's army received a 6-2 aggregate defeat to Real Madrid, knocking them out of the Champions League.
With hopes of qualifying for next year's tournament almost exhausted, the Red Devils are currently languishing in eighth place in the rankings, about 12 points behind the top four teams.
As for Chelsea, they saw three coaches lead the club in a tumultuous campaign that saw them fall to the bottom half of the table.
