Arsenal is back in action for the 2025-26 Premier League season, with their first match kicking off this week.

Arsenal are favourites to be crowned Premier League champions this season. That was the view of Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah when asked about the Gunners’ title chances at the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) awards event on Tuesday night.

On the day Salah appointed Arsenal as front-runners to lift England’s top-flight, he was also recognized for his record-breaking 29 goal and 18 assist term. On the back of arguably the greatest individual Premier League season ever, Salah deservedly became the first player ever to win three PFA Player of the Year awards.

It is a big blow for the Premier League title contenders, with Havertz missing 12 league matches last term between February and May last season due to a hamstring problem. Ornstein claims the Gunners recruitment chiefs are exploring the transfer market to potentially reinforce their attack and cover the absence of Havertz.

Viktor Gyokeres started for Arsenal for his Premier League debut before being substituted around the hour mark for Kai Havertz. Ex-Newcastle boss Alan Pardew has given his verdict on what he called a "poor" performance from the Swedish striker.
