My people, na wetin we go talk today be say Premier League no dey sleep o! As 2026 don enter, Arsenal don take lead wey no wan gree make anybody catch dem!
As of this writing, dem dey shine for the table with 48 points after 19 matches, dem dey lead Manchester City and Aston Villa wey dey try catch dem. E be like say dem don set to take dat Premier League trophy again!
But make we no forget how Chelsea dey suffer! Dem just sack their manager, Enzo Maresca, after dem fail to get hot in the last few matches. Last season na them dey win trophy, now dem dey waka up and down for league like say dem no get sense. Na wah o!
Liverpool dey jostle for top four after dem manage settle for fourth position. Na road no dey easy for dem too, especially after dem draw match with Leeds United on New Year day. Fans no too happy for Anfield cause dem expect more from di Reds.
Now, quick update for una, make we look how di table dey stand so:
1. Arsenal — 48 points, 15 wins, 3 draws, 2 losses
2. Manchester City — 42 points
3. Aston Villa — 42 points
4. Liverpool — 34 points
5. Chelsea — 31 points
6. Manchester United — 31 points
Hmmm, when you check am, e clear say Arsenal don balance! Na solid squad dem get. But no be all teams dey chop cassava this season oo! Look as Wolves dey struggle for di bottom with just 6 points after 20 games. E go take miracle to pull dem out!
Meanwhile, make we talk about di Big Boys wey suppose make impact but dey fall my hand. Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur dey do jigsaw puzzle for di league table too. One week dem go shine, next week dem go collapse like house of cards.
As e be now, Arsenal dey poised to lift di title again unless dem mess up. But as teams dey push forward, we dey expect more drama as di season dey go on. Wetin you think, Naija? Will Arsenal carry di league this season or another team go supplant dem from di throne?
