Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville predicting which clubs will finish up at the right end of the table.

Interesting predictions from both of them on Newcastle United.

Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville talking to Sky Sports about their 2025/26 Premier League season predictions – Monday 18 August 2025:

Gary Neville talking to Sky Sports about who will be challenging at the top end this season:

‘I couldn’t separate Arsenal, Manchester City or Liverpool. I think they’re absolutely all in with an equal chance of winning it.

Arsenal have been consistent over the last three years, they’ve been second. I do feel they’ll get there at some point.

Liverpool, the two full-backs have got to settle in. They look a little bit open. They are going to be exhilarating to watch. They’re going to score a lot of goals. Man City have an unbelievable spine.

I went for the team I’ve been going for the last three years, they’re reliable and solid and consistent, which is important. They just have to sort that forward bit of the pitch out and I think Viktor Gyokeres will.

I’ve done this now for eight years, and I’ve always had Man U in the top four every year!

It was a late change but with a bit of science… When I watched Man U against Arsenal, I thought the performance was very good. I think they’ll get a goalkeeper and, with those players up front, with no Champions League or Europa League, I think Man U will surprise a few people. If you perform like that, you’ll win a lot of football matches.

And I’m not sure Chelsea are going to find it as easy with the Club World Cup, European games, all the demands of that.’

Gary Neville 2025/26 top six prediction, in order:

Arsenal

Man City

Liverpool

Man U

Chelsea

Jamie Carragher talking to Sky Sports about who will be challenging at the top end this season:

‘What I saw in the Community Shield, I didn’t think I’d see on Friday night. I’m sure the manager has been speaking to the players in pre-season [about vulnerability] on the back of the Milan game, the Community Shield and to see it in three high profile games that did worry me a little bit. But if Liverpool fix that they have great firepower.

A few days ago, I thought Arsenal would be Liverpool’s biggest challengers. But the way they played [at Man Utd] was typical Arsenal of last season – the name of the game is winning games – it will be interesting over the next few weeks if we see them open up more, create more chances and see how they’ve evolved from last season.

I was really impressed with Manchester City and I think it’s Manchester City who might be Liverpool’s closest challengers.

I think you have to be very careful about getting carried away about one performance. Man U lost and at no stage in the game did I think Man U were going to score a goal. They did play really well, the best I’ve seen them for a long time, there was pace and energy in the team, the players they’ve bought have got something… but that’s a big jump from 15th to fourth. The manager has still got a lot to prove. I don’t see Man U that high.’
