Former Chelsea striker, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has tipped Manchester City to win the Premier League title this season, naming Pep Guardiola’s side as the team to beat.
Despite finishing third behind Arsenal and champions Liverpool last season, Hasselbaink believes Manchester City remain strong favourites to reclaim the title in the 2025/26 campaign.
Speaking to Sky Sports News, the Dutchman said: “Manchester City is my favourite for the year to win the title. Everyone is talking about Liverpool and I do think it is going to be very close, but Manchester City, for me, is the team to beat.”
Manchester City kicked off their Premier League campaign in dominant fashion, securing a 4-0 win over Wolves last weekend. Guardiola’s men will next face Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday in a crucial early-season clash.
With their deep squad, tactical stability, and winning mentality, City are once again expected to be serious contenders in the title race.
