Edwin van der Sar has already predicted who is going to win the Premier League next season

Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City head into next season among the favourites to win the Premier League title.

Arne Slot, Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola will all be desperate to win the league next term as all three sides head into next season even stronger than they were last year.

Others such as Aston Villa, Chelsea and Newcastle may also have half an eye on being title contenders.

Early predictions can always backfire, Gary Neville tipped Liverpool to finish outside the top four this season, while Ian Wright backed Arsenal to win the league.

At the moment, it’s tough to predict who will win the Premier League, but speaking to LiveScore, Edwin van der Sar has attempted to do just that.

Indeed, the legendary Dutch goalkeeper has made his prediction on who is going to win the league next season, and he’s made a left-field pick.

Edwin van der Sar predicts Premier League winner

Van der Sar knows what it takes to win a Premier League title, and he believes he knows who is going to win the league next year.

The Dutchman may have shown a bit of bias here as he actually picked Manchester United to win the Premier League here.

Remarkably, Van der Sar may have been better off picking another of his former teams as the title winners here.

Indeed, Fulham were actually better than Manchester United last season by some distance, and based on recent performances, they’re perhaps the more likely of Van der Sar’s former teams to win the Premier League title.

Biggest Premier League title-winning turnarounds

Manchester United have been tipped to win the Premier League, but if they are to win the league they would have to do something truly unprecedented.

Indeed, no team has ever gone from being 15th in the Premier League to being champions within one season.

Even Leicester City finished 14th the year before they won the Premier League, so if United are to win the league, they would have to overcome, theoretically, greater odds than Leicester did in 2015/16.

Leicester City and Chelsea have both made remarkable turnarounds in the Premier League to become champions over the years, but none have been as dramatic as what Manchester United would have to do to become league winners next season.

Van der Sar reckons his former team can win the league here, but, in reality, it’s going to be very difficult for Ruben Amorim’s side to get anywhere close to winning the league.
