Ladbrokes Festive Countdown Day 24 - Man City to prevail

• Manchester City may be second in the Premier League right now, but day 24 of the Ladbrokes Festive Countdown is a tip them to beat Arsenal to the Premier League.

• This season could end up being Pep Guardiola's last as Man City manager, with his side hitting form as we head into 2026.

• Arsenal, on the other hand, have appeared to struggle somewhat over recent weeks, with narrow wins against both Everton and Wolves.

For the final day of the Ladbrokes Festive Countdown for 2025, we're tipping Manchester City to win the Premier League come the end of the season.

Things seem to be clicking at the right time for Man City, and that could be huge for them in the title race.

After struggling during the early portion of the season, City have settled on a formula that works, with several of their key players in a great moment right now.

The top of those is Erling Haaland, with the Norwegian bagsman at his prolific best. He's being supported by Rayan Cherki, Phil Foden and Jeremy Doku, all of whom are contributing with important goals and assists.

That's an impressive front four, and it's made even more formidable when you consider that all reports indicate that Antoine Semenyo is set to join City in the January transfer window.

City have goals coming from all places, the strength in depth to compete on multiple fronts and one of the best managers of all time. They will prove to be a real problem for Arsenal next year.

The Gunners are in a great spot at the moment too, there's no denying that. They sit at the top of the Premier League and are winning games even when not playing well, the sign of real champions.

While the Gunners are as solid as anyone defensively, perhaps Mikel Arteta will be somewhat concerned with Arsenal's firepower up front.

Arsenal's last four goals in all competitions have consisted of one penalty and three own goals, do the Champions-elect have the minerals and quality to get it over the line? Only time will tell.

We're not saying that Arsenal will 100% NOT win the Premier League, but given that City's odds sit at 7/5 at the time of writing, putting a small stake on Guardiola's side to lift the title once again in May 2026 would be worth it.
