Salah believes Arsenal will win the EPL
Salah, who won the Golden Boot and playmaker award last season, believes Arsenal’s greatest strength lies in their consistency, Sky Sports reports.
The Gunners have kept the majority of their squad together for several years, allowing players to build chemistry and understanding on the pitch.

Salah says that the Gunners have been playing together for “five or six years,” under the same manager, Mikel Arteta, who has also been at the helm since 2019.
The 33-year-old believes this sets Arsenal apart from rivals like Liverpool and Manchester City, who constantly make changes to their squads.
"I said they are the favourites because they have a team that has played [together] for five, six years. So, they understand each other's game. And, they also have a manager [who's been there] for five, six years.
“When the team's stuck together for that long, they know each other's game, so it becomes easier for them. But other teams like [ours] and [Manchester] City, [we keep] changing a lot of players, which is sometimes tricky."
Arsenal invest heavily this summer
According to GOAL, Salah also pointed out Arsenal’s ambitious summer transfer window.
The North London club has splashed close to £270 million to bring in Martin Zubimendi, Cristhian Mosquera, Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke, and Eberechi Eze.
These new signings have been seen as key additions to Arteta’s squad that could finally end their trophy drought this season.
Can Arsenal finally win the league?
Arsenal’s last Premier League title came in 2004 under Arsene Wenger’s iconic “Invincibles.”
Since then, the Gunners have endured near misses, most notably in recent years under Arteta.
Last season, Arsenal pushed Liverpool all the way but crumbled in the final matches, allowing Arne Slot’s side to clinch a 21st league title.
Now, with Salah publicly tipping them as favourites, the question remains: can Arsenal handle the pressure and end their 21-year title drought?
Sunday’s clash at Anfield will serve as an early test of their credentials as a win away to the reigning champions would boost their confidence.
