EPL: Frank Leboeuf names title winners, teams to finish top six this season

Former Chelsea player Frank Leboeuf has expressed his belief that Arsenal will be crowned Premier League champions this season. In addition to predicting Arsenal's victory, Leboeuf has also made a prediction regarding the teams that will occupy the top six spots in the league. According to Leboeuf, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Liverpool will finish in second, third, and fourth places, respectively. Manchester City is expected to secure the fifth position, while Tottenham Hotspur will complete the top six in sixth place.

Leboeuf made these predictions while speaking with ESPN ahead of the Premier League's opening fixtures this weekend. When explaining the reasoning behind his forecast, the Frenchman acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding Chelsea, Manchester United, and Liverpool, but emphasized Arsenal's strong performance and the potential for continued success. He also noted the significant gap between Manchester City and the rest of the pack, which led him to place the team in fifth position.

Leboeuf expressed his preference for Arsenal, stating that "we are judging in the present time, and we saw a game where Arsenal are ready, and if it carries on like that, then they are going to win the Premier League." However, he also recognized the difficulty in placing Manchester United before Chelsea, citing "the blood talking" as the reason for his choice.
