EPL: ‘They’ll do it’ – Sam Allardyce changes title prediction after first week

Former England manager Sam Allardyce has adjusted his Premier League title prediction following the opening week of the new season. Initially, he believed Manchester City would claim the championship, but now he is confident that Arsenal, the defending champions, will secure the title. Arsenal's 3-0 win over Coventry City on Friday set the tone for their dominant weekend, despite Manchester United and Tottenham suffering losses to Hull City and Brentford, respectively.

Liverpool and Chelsea also had modest victories, with Liverpool needing a late equaliser and Chelsea holding on for a win against Fulham. Manchester City secured a 2-1 win against Bournemouth with late goals from Enzo Maresca. Allardyce, in a recent podcast, explained that City's recent upheaval, including the resignation of manager Pep Guardiola and the departure of key players, made Arsenal a more formidable opponent.
