Agbonlahor predicts tough start for Arsenal in 2025/26 Premier League Season
Former Aston Villa captain Gabriel Agbonlahor has predicted a challenging start to the 2025/26 Premier League campaign for Arsenal, forecasting that the Gunners will collect only seven points from their opening six fixtures.
The Premier League recently unveiled the full fixture list for the new season, with Mikel Arteta’s side set to face a difficult run of matches. Arsenal will begin their campaign away at Manchester United before hosting newly-promoted Leeds United. They will then travel to face Liverpool, host Nottingham Forest, and square off against Manchester City at the Emirates, before heading to St James’ Park to take on Newcastle United.
Sharing his predictions on talkSPORT, Agbonlahor stated that “Man United away in the first game, I’ve gone for a draw. Leeds at home, I have gone for a win. Liverpool away a loss. Forest at home a narrow win. Man City at home a loss. Newcastle away, they don’t do well there, so I’ve gone for another loss.”

According to the former England international, that run would leave Arsenal with just seven points out of a possible 18, a disappointing return for a team aiming to challenge for the title again.
Arsenal finished second in the 2024/25 season behind champions Liverpool and are expected to mount another strong title challenge, but Agbonlahor’s projections suggest the North London club may need to quickly find form if they are to stay in the race.
