Steve Bruce Names Arsenal as Premier League Favorites

Steve Bruce, the former manager of Newcastle United, has identified Arsenal as the team to beat in the Premier League this season, dismissing Manchester United's title aspirations. In an interview with talkSPORT, Bruce stated that it is "too much too soon" to consider Manchester United as favorites.

He emphasized that Arsenal, who won the Premier League title last season, have further strengthened their squad with the addition of players like Bruno Guimaraes and Declan Rice. Bruce expressed confidence that Arsenal remains the team to beat, noting their previous season's performance where they won the title "at a canter." He also suggested that Arsenal may have one or two more signings coming in, reinforcing his belief in their dominance this season.
