Jamie Carragher makes bold Premier League prediction as fans can't genuinely believe his top six

Jamie Carragher has made a bold Premier League prediction ahead of the new season that has left Manchester United fans stunned.

The 2024/25 Premier League season is less than a week away as Manchester City will aim to defend their championship following last season's incredible triumph.

Mikel Arteta's Arsenal will be hoping to go one better and win their first title since 2004, having finished behind the Blues in back-to-back seasons.

It's a new era for Liverpool, who hired Arne Slot to replace Jurgen Klopp, while Aston Villa, Tottenham and Man United will be looking to push on from last season.

And ahead of the new Premier League campaign getting underway, Carragher has predicted his top six.

He's backed Man City to make it five league victories in a row ahead of Arsenal.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding Slot, Carragher believes his old side will finish in third place ahead of Spurs.

The Liverpool legend predicts Erik ten Hag's Man United to finish fifth ahead of Villa, who secured a top four spot last season.

A second said: "Take a screenshot of this. Liverpool will be 5th or 6th."

A third added: "He's putting a team above us that just spent 65mil on Solanke."

A Man Utd commented: "I love... this we will definitely come back to this."

Another Red Devils supporter weighed in: "I think we finish 4th. Spurs may have a more balanced first 11 but we will have a better squad by the time this window ends."
