Although Arsenal currently top the Premier League and have reached the UEFA Champions League semi-finals with hopes of winning a double and making club history with their first European trophy, they have recently lost crucial momentum after a 1-2 defeat to Manchester City in a decisive match, reopening the title race.
On 2 May 2026, Scholes told Sky Bet that he still believes in Pep Guardiola's team and expects Manchester City to accelerate and overtake Arsenal to win the Premier League, despite Arsenal leading by 3 points but having played one more game.
If the former Red Devils player’s prediction holds true, Arsenal will suffer another heartbreak in the league after finishing as runners-up for several consecutive seasons.
Moreover, Scholes confidently predicted that Paris Saint-Germain will win the UEFA Champions League, meaning Arsenal could miss out on European silverware again, even though they are currently in a strong position after a 1-1 away draw against Atlético Madrid in the first leg of the semi-finals.
Meanwhile, PSG hold a 5-4 aggregate advantage over Bayern Munich before heading to a crucial away leg in Germany.
Additionally, Scholes believes Manchester City will win the FA Cup after their upcoming final clash with Chelsea on 16 May.
In the relegation zone, the former England midfielder thinks Tottenham Hotspur faces the possibility of dropping alongside Wolverhampton and Burnley. Currently, Spurs sit 18th in the table, trailing West Ham United by 2 points with only 4 matches left in the season.
