‘I hope they don’t’: Wayne Rooney has predicted who will win the Premier League now

Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City are all embroiled in the closest title race in years.

Jurgen Klopp, Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola will all be desperate to win the league as we enter the business-end of the season.

With just seven games left to play, the three top sides in the Premier League are separated by just one point, and it’s anyone’s guess as to who will come out on top.

Speaking on Premier League Productions, Wayne Rooney has now predicted who is going to win the league.

Wayne Rooney’s Premier League prediction

Rooney is in a difficult spot here.

As a Manchester United legend, he probably doesn’t want any of these teams to win the league – particularly not City or Liverpool.

Unfortunately for Rooney, he had to concede that he does ultimately fancy Liverpool to get the job done this season, claiming that he thinks they’ll win the title even though he hopes they don’t.

“It’s not my romantic side saying it, and I hope they don’t, but I’ve had this feeling for a while now that Liverpool might just snatch the title, Klopp will use his experience and Van Dijk will use his experience to win the title, I just think that Liverpool will edge it,” Rooney said.

Liverpool have a great chance

Rooney doesn’t like to admit it, but he’s right, Liverpool do have a great chance of going on and winning the league this season.

The Reds do have a favourable run-in in the coming weeks, while the emotional force of Jurgen Klopp’s impending departure should push the Merseyside club on to hit their best form at just the right time.

Of course, going on and winning the Premier League is a task that is much easier said than done, but Liverpool do have a very good chance from here.

Regardless of what happens, this title race will be enthralling.
