Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher have locked in their predictions for the new Premier League season after the opening weekend. The two pundits usually reveal their picks on the first Monday Night Football of the campaign, which is exactly what they did after Chelsea's narrow 3-2 win over Fulham.
Neville correctly guessed that Arsenal would win the title last season, but Carragher was miles off with his Liverpool prediction. They also struggled with the relegated teams, with Neville wrongly picking Leeds to go down and Carragher choosing Sunderland. The pair will be hoping for better luck this time around, having revealed their guesses for the 2026/27 campaign.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, both pundits are backing Arsenal to lift the Premier League trophy once again. They also think Manchester City and Chelsea will finish in the top four.
Neville, however, has predicted Manchester United to sneak in while Carragher reckons Liverpool will do enough to leapfrog the Red Devils into fourth place.
Explaining their picks, Neville revealed that he couldn't really separate United and Liverpool after being accused by Carragher of changing his predictions on a whim.
"Look, do you want me to be honest? Yes, I can't separate United and Liverpool in fourth place," said Neville.
Carragher replied: "I've heard you've changed it four times over the weekend. So after United played, he changed it to Liverpool. Liverpool played and he changed it to United."
Neville explained: "A couple of weeks ago, I had United in third. I didn't have Chelsea where they were, but as you sort of get nearer to the season, you start to look at the squads and you start to think about it.
"You think about Chelsea and the fact they've got no European football. That'll give them a big edge.
"I think City are in a better position than United. Look, at the moment, I'm not convinced by United or Liverpool, really, but I do think they'll finish fourth and fifth."
