Fowler backs Arsenal for 2026/27 EPL title, Haaland Golden Boot

Robbie Fowler has picked Arsenal to retain the 2026/27 Premier League title and Erling Haaland to finish as the season’s top scorer.

Robbie Fowler has backed Arsenal to win the 2026/27 Premier League title, while selecting Manchester City striker Erling Haaland to claim the Golden Boot. The former Liverpool forward made both predictions during a quickfire exchange with GiveMeSport.

Fowler’s title choice would see Arsenal win the Premier League again. His forecast places Mikel Arteta’s side at the top of the 2026/27 campaign, although no further table positions or league form were provided with the predictions.

Haaland is Fowler’s choice for the season’s leading scorer. The Manchester City striker has therefore been identified as the player most likely to finish ahead of the rest of the Premier League’s goalscorers in the coming campaign.

Fowler also selected Arsenal teenager Max Dowman as the young player he is most looking forward to watching in the Premier League. Dowman made appearances for Arsenal last season, a factor Fowler highlighted when explaining his interest in the midfielder.

The three selections give Arsenal a prominent place in Fowler’s view of the season. The club is his predicted champion, while Dowman is his pick among young players to watch. Haaland, however, is expected to provide the individual scoring award for Manchester City.

Fowler, 51, is a former Liverpool star and made the choices as part of a short-form question-and-answer session. His predictions cover the league champion, the Golden Boot winner and the young player he expects to attract attention during the 2026/27 Premier League season.
