Former French international Silvestre recently shared his thoughts on the upcoming clash between Arsenal and Manchester United, expressing his excitement for the game. As a player who has experienced both clubs, having spent nine years at Manchester United and also playing for Arsenal, Silvestre has a strong bond with both teams and is looking forward to the showdown.

When asked about his predictions for the match, Silvestre mentioned that while he has a deep attachment to both clubs, having spent more time at Manchester United, he would have to support them. However, he also acknowledged that Arsenal has been in good form recently, making the game even more intriguing for him as a former player of both teams.

Moving on to discuss the performances of other top teams in the Premier League, Silvestre expressed his concerns about Manchester City's slow start to the season. He suggested that Pep Guardiola's side might be going through a transitional period and need to find new solutions to get back on track, especially after going winless in their first seven games. This, in turn, could provide an opportunity for teams like Liverpool and Arsenal to shine.

Speaking of Liverpool, Silvestre identified them as one of the favorites for the Premier League title this season, along with Arsenal. With their strong form and attacking prowess, he believes that Jurgen Klopp's team could pose a serious threat to their rivals and mount a formidable title challenge. Additionally, he highlighted Chelsea as a potential dark horse in the race, given their young and talented squad.

Turning his attention to underdogs in the league, Silvestre praised Brighton for their young and dynamic coach, suggesting that they could cause upsets and disrupt the established order in the Premier League. While he doesn't see them as title contenders, he admires their style of play and believes they have the potential to surprise many this season.

Lastly, Silvestre discussed the situation at Newcastle, a club that once qualified for the Champions League in the 2022-23 season. He emphasized the need for the team to transition smoothly and find stability after a period of upheaval, pointing out that the current rebuilding phase could be a positive opportunity for them to progress and establish themselves in the league.
