EPL 2026/27 Season Preview: Who Will Win the Title?

The Premier League never sleeps. As another season approaches, the question dominating every football debate across Nigeria, Ghana, and South Africa is the same: who is lifting the trophy in May?

The Title Contenders

This season, the title race looks more competitive than it has been in years. Manchester City's dynasty faces its most serious challenge yet from an Arsenal side that has finally matched them financially and tactically.

Liverpool, reinvigorated under their new tactical system, are a genuine third force. Chelsea's owners have spent over £2 billion since 2022 — the question is whether the pieces finally fit together.

The African Stars to Watch

African players have never been more central to Premier League football. Victor Osimhen's impact at whichever club lands him will be transformative. Mohamed Salah, defying age, enters his 10th season in England still producing elite numbers. Saka, Partey, Traoré — the list grows every year.

This season, watch out for several African players who could make a genuine claim for the Player of the Season award. The era of the African Premier League player being a supporting act is over.

Our Prediction

We're calling Arsenal. Their squad depth is now elite, their manager has solved the big-game puzzle, and their African core — Partey, Saka, Trossard — gives them a technical quality that City cannot match in the pressing game.
