In the poll I said Manchester City would be champions but this time I want Arsenal to win. Every year a team goes forward but in the final City are champions. Let's see a different champion. Arsenal came ahead for me because I saw the other teams a little bit behind. Maybe Chelsea will be better this time with their new signings. I don't think United and Liverpool are too ambitious, I think Arsenal will do it, maybe Chelsea a little bit. Any other surprise is close to impossible. Stories like Leicester City happen once in a hundred years.
For me, Man City still remains my favorite. But If they get kicked out, then I'd say Arsenal to take the first place. I still stick to the scenario where Arsenal can finish at the second place, and it has minor gap toward City. This was caused by Arsenal is not really solving the problem in their forward. However, if Arsenal can sign an above-average striker, I think they can get one step closer to winning the league. The problem is Arteta sticks with the same forward as last season. This raises my doubts. It's hard to see how they can take first without a beast of a striker.

If we are to be using earlier performance to determine league winner, I think Arsenal will always be the league winner of EPL. Arsenal is found of being very serious at the beginning of the league but then looseguard and relent as the season progress without sustaining the energy till when necessary.
By the way, did you mind checking the lineup that played against Sevilla and the one that played against Las palmas? I just checked now and you can not expect the same results when you feature different players despite that the team strength also matters. I don't want to comment on Liverpool at the moment until season starts.
Yes I also just checked it Liverpool did not use players with the same line-up so that's why their appearance was very different from before I think because the match was held on the same day so the coach rotates and uses the players as just available.

Those are the two best teams now and i also think either of the two teams are the favorites. Arsenal also have a high chance of success just as Manchester City but my major fear is that they don’t have a goal poacher in their team which is something they need so badly if they want to stand a chance against Manchester City. It’s almost end of the transfer window and they are still yet to bring in a striker.
Some changes needs to bee done and more attacking players need to be added so they can be unpredictable. Saka and Martinelli are already predictable players and they need support.
With the number of goals they scored last season, one might think they can compete this season without an actual striker. I think they need an actual striker tbh but I highly doubt the manager will get one. There are capping their hopes at a midfielder and a winger and hoping fortune smiles at them.
Let's just see how it goes. If Manchester City decide that they are tired of winning, Arsenal may just win the league like that.

It will be difficult for Manchester city to be kicked out from the tournament next season, because Pep Guardiola still remain their manager which he will not allow anything like that to happen to the team, because he want to achieve a good record from Manchester city before he can resign from the team for another manager to take over. If you look at what Arsenal is playing in this pre season matches, you know that it will be difficult for them to win the title next season, because they are still facing some challenges that will still make them to drop points at the end of the tournament for Manchester city to take over to embrace the title again.
Pep Guardiola is the one who make Manchester City become one of the best team, but Khaldoon Al Mubarak was the one who make Manchester City can reach at this level. Al Mubarak is a rich person, he support Manchester City's financial which make them able to hire Mancini, Pellegrini and Pep.
Having a lot money will make the team have many option, fortunately Manchester City is a team that made good decision with the money they have.
Manchester City won Premier League titles before Pep Guardiola joined them but his appearance in the club actually help to increase quality and stability of the club a lot recent years. They no longer won Premier League titles sparsely but dominated the league with 6 titles in the last 7 seasons.Having a lot money will make the team have many option, fortunately Manchester City is a team that made good decision with the money they have.

Here is all 8 Premier League titles of Manchester City and seasons they won these ones.

2011–12, 2013–14, 2017–18, 2018–19, 2020–21, 2021–22, 2022–23, 2023–24
By domination and massive success recent seasons, Manchester City have 8 titles and stay at the second position, after Manchester United with 13 titles. Chelsea stays at the third position with 5 Premier League titles. The ranking up of Manchester City is very quickly last 7 seasons and it's very impressive.
Man City became more successful when he was the coach and it was difficult to do before Pep Guardiola joined as their coach.
If you notice, Man City was not a big club before and they had a hard time getting to the Champions League final to get the trophy.
But the presence of Pep Guardiola gave them the opportunity to lift three trophies at the same time in the previous season.

I would've probably countered your opinion if only Manchester United were going to manager that's different from the one that's been at the club for the past two seasons but since Erik ten Hag is still the club's coach and will still oversee their games next season, I seriously doubt that Manchester United are going to do anything better than they've done in recent seasons. Considering the quality of players at United, I think they have all it takes to become a serious contender for the league title next season but the club manager haven't been convincing enough with his performances for anyone to think they can challenge the English champions Manchester City. Like you rightly said, Manchester United might make it to top four but not winning the league title
I don't ignore your opinion because it is a possibility that could happen it's just that sometimes there are things we never thought of and it can be a surprise. Ten Hag may not be the greatest manager but last season he had a lot of problems with players such as injuries and legal cases thus disrupting its performance, well, for next season we don't know what other problems will come. For the Premier League I have 3 favourite teams to win the title the first is Arsenal and Manchester City then Chelsea I see these teams have the potential to be closer to the title, Meanwhile Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester United do not seem worthy of competing there. do you have another favorite team?
......
Yes, it's quite a coincidence Manchester United will be the first team to play a match in the EPL against Fulham. Yes, we'll see who will win later, but in that match I predict that Manchester United will have the potential big to win. Chelsea's match against Manchester City will indeed be a difficult match for Chelsea, but of course we'll see how the result will be, but I predict that in that match, Manchester City will have great potential to win against Chelsea, but yes, we'll see and I think I can't wait. see the techniques created by Enzo Maresca in the upcoming EPL.The Chelsea vs Man City match actually looks quite easy to predict. namely Man City will be the most favorite team by everyone. But as I said it is still early days and the opposite result could happen. But I still hope Man City is still as strong as last season.
Of course we have to watch all the first week's matches first and of course if we have watched the first week of course we will be able to measure the strength of the teams competing in the 2024-2025 EPL season and of course there will definitely be some ease in predicting it because of course there will definitely be differences in pre-season matches. with a real fight.
In the world of football, of course, it is always full of mysteries and surprises and sometimes the favorite team may lose or vice versa. In the Manchester United vs Fulham match, of course we won't know who will win, but yes, I personally am the same as you, I think I also want to bet on Manchester United winning and I predict the score at that time will end with a score of 0-3 for Manchester United winning. However, if you look at the last meeting between Manchester United and Fulham, when Manchester United lost to Fulham with a score of 1-2, of course the match will be very exciting because Erik Ten Hag's troops will definitely want to avenge this defeat.
I see that Manchester City is still strong, but of course I see a slight decline in performance, but of course, against Chelsea, I will bet on Manchester City winning, so we'll see and what is certain is that both teams will definitely be serious about winning that match. Of course Pep and Enzo Maresca will definitely show their best strategy.
Even though it was a friendly match, Liverpool should have been important, as this is where their reputation began this season. If they start performing badly from now then they won't be able to perform well in the next stage, that's why it should never be skipped by watching only friendly matches. Liverpool had enough experienced players to make the squad look like they would win, so any game should be taken seriously as there are many gamblers who place bets on the strong teams they believe. So thousands of gamblers lost their money by performing negligently like I also lost some money in this match.
I watched their last match against La Palmas. Liverpool used a lot of bench players. On paper Liverpool have a good record with shots on target and possession. But unfortunately they do not have a good finishing to convert chances into goals. This match has hurt many gamblers because no one expected Liverpool to fail to win the match. But I think people should know that this friendly match they have a new manager who will need time to adapt. I am sure Arne Slot has done a lot of testing by rotating some players and trying various experimental tactics. The new season is about to start and there we will be able to see how Liverpool really performs.
There's absolutely nothing like elevating a club when there's full presence of Pep Guardiola, he's the most important coach in England currently, knowing the species to follow and work put in strong effort. Ofcourse we stick to Manchester City to win the English Premier League title for next season because they seem to be the only main competitor for the major title. Pep Guardiola have huge positive impact on the club and this is probably the best thing that have ever happen to the club.
Man City became more successful when he was the coach and it was difficult to do before Pep Guardiola joined as their coach.
If you notice, Man City was not a big club before and they had a hard time getting to the Champions League final to get the trophy.
But the presence of Pep Guardiola gave them the opportunity to lift three trophies at the same time in the previous season.
But for next season it seems we can't predict because after all there are other teams who will also try to compete for the title.
Arsenal, Liverpool and several other big teams will also try to chase the Premier League champions so the competition will be much more competitive.
For me, Man City still remains my favorite. But If they get kicked out, then I'd say Arsenal to take the first place. I still stick to the scenario where Arsenal can finish at the second place, and it has minor gap toward City. This was caused by Arsenal is not really solving the problem in their forward. However, if Arsenal can sign an above-average striker, I think they can get one step closer to winning the league. The problem is Arteta sticks with the same forward as last season. This raises my doubts. It's hard to see how they can take first without a beast of a striker.

Liverpool definitely played very aggressively. But was unable to win the match. Probably because the finishing was not on point from them. But nothing to worry I guess, because this was a friendly match. I guess they are going to perform better when the competitive matches actually start. Everyone knows that Liverpool should have won this match. But I think we can let it slide because of this being a friendly match. Still not sure what the approach is going to be from Arne. Because I am pretty sure that that approach is going to be different in the competitive matches.
Will Liverpool be able to compete for the title? I honestly have my doubts.
Yes that is right that Liverpool played well but did not win because they did not score enough goals. But it is okay because it was just friendly game. I am sure they will do better when real season starts. Liverpool was better team but it is unclear what the coach Arne is planning. I also have some doubts but I think they might surprise us. Maybe this game was warning sign and they will play better in important matches. We will have to wait and see if they can really try for the title. Will Liverpool be able to compete for the title? I honestly have my doubts.

Yeah I also checked the stats of this match and it seems Liverpool played aggressively with 12 shots and 9 on target, another interesting thing is 16 fouls it means both teams seem to be aiming for something even though this is just a friendly match but for some reason they think this is an important match. By the way Liverpool are also playing another match today against Laspalmas but no goal, I also saw the coach playing the main squad Nunez and Gakpo are in the lineup
Liverpool are also one of the Premier League teams that are not active in the transfer window, does anyone know the reason? we don't know what the coach has planned for next season he just used the same players as last season and I think this is quite strange, I'm not sure if the problem is financial because Liverpool is a financially stable team.
Slot needs to play for a while with the current team first to understand if he needs to strengthen some positions, or maybe he already has everything he needs to start the season.
You can do like Maresca did at Chelsea, when he came and started spending a lot of money, but in the matches Chelsea played, you can see that there is no order in the team, and the result is very mediocre, and Slot did not spend money on transfers, but his team looks very balanced. Maybe Klopp was right when he chose Slot, at least what I see in the friendlies I really like.
With Las Palmas there were only a few players from the main team, and it was the second match in one day, so it is clear that Slot is just using this match as a training session, nothing more. And with Sevilla it is clear that Liverpool tried to play at full strength, this was immediately reflected in the result, even according to the odds 1.29 it was clear that Liverpool takes this match more seriously than Sevilla, and these are the last friendly matches, the next one will be the beginning of the new season away to Ipswich.

It’s time we see a new champion in the league because it is getting boring seeing one team dominate the English premier league which have been known as a very competitive league which is almost impossible for a single team to dominate and keep winning. Arsenal have disappointed us for two consecutive seasons now that no one even have hope that they will be able to win but so far they are the only team capable of challenging Manchester City so let’s keep hoping they may succeed soon.Chelsea might turn out to be a good team that may challenge City but i don’t think it will be this season, they still have a lot to learn and clearly it has shown that they are not there yet and they need time to fully grasp this new strategy. Liverpool on the other hand will need time as well to challenge for the title because they also changed manager and might need time adapt as well.
Indeed Chelsea might too out good but the chances of it now is slim especially from how the defence conceded goals this pre season, if nothing is done in that area and they possibly are still that dense defensively with such a disappointment of not being cautious of their environment they might see themselves fighting against relegation sadly as it seems now

We saw Liverpool did not experience much change in the squad with the new coach, I wonder how Arne Slot can compete in the Premier league with other teams.
Chelsea, not sure although they have a lot of players up to 42 with so many players have been signed, I don't think there will be significant changes.
Manchester United? Ten Hag will be under a lot of pressure.
It's too early to judge Liverpool with the performance that has been played during Arne Slot's time as coach.Chelsea, not sure although they have a lot of players up to 42 with so many players have been signed, I don't think there will be significant changes.
Manchester United? Ten Hag will be under a lot of pressure.
Arne Slot is building the squad left by Jurgen Klopp and we are sure that slowly, Liverpool will become a team that is ready to break all doubts about it.
I actually doubt Manchester United. The performance of their mainstay players like Rashford still doesn't look like they have changed even though they had to lose against Manchester City at Wembley in the Community Shield.
It was previously doubted that Arne Slot could make Liverpool better although currently they are only playing pre-season matches, but it seems that Arne Slot has great potential big in shaping Liverpool to be better next season with his strategy and game scheme.
What is happening to Liverpool at the moment is actually the opposite of what is happening in Chelsea, Enzo Maresca is still unable to show a brilliant performance in the pre-season matches they are currently playing even though Todd Boehly has spent a lot of money to recruit many new players at this time, both teams have inversely proportional performances in pre-season matches.
But of course we cannot use pre-season matches as a reference to see the actual performance of the two teams next season. Talking about Manchester United, it seems like Manchester City defeat could be a reference to see how big their chances are in the league next season.
He must have been studying Liverpool long before his arrival when Klopp first announced his departure. It's probably not that he trusts Klopp's legacy, it's that he wants to play these particular players who may just have to be moved. Let's see what happens, last season was a very difficult season for them towards the end
Pre-season matches are not a reference in measuring team performance at all, but it is also important enough to focus on before entering the competition. Liverpool have not made any breakthroughs in the transfer window, I think this is very strange because on average if the new coach will definitely bring in some new players to his squad, I don't understand Slot whether he has trusted all of Klopp's legacy squad? interesting, we wait for the Reds' breakthroughs this season. Meanwhile, Enzo Maresca is also enjoying his transition period and it seems he still hasn't found the right formula to make The Blues able to compete at the top of the EPL this season.
I think we need to allowed Slot breethe in some fresh air and let him to his job. Wasn't Klopp having bad result in some matches as well. Indeed Slot hasn't accomplished anything and doesn't look like a hungry coach but he need more time to deliver like Klopp, also don't forget that Arne Slot can either be better than Klopp or he is less performing than Klopp but he can never be like him, he is one of a kind Liverpool will never forget in their history.
The main challenge I'm seeing right now in Liverpool is they need to mass flush some of their players and sign some good people, let some old players that Klopp should have sell, kindly sell them to any team and get some fresh boys to do this job with passion and not just the pay like some team are randomly paying heavy amount if millions to get average player.

Since they are even using most of their other place you won't blame them if they are using testing what some of their other set aside players can do. And it is a very good experiment, so that when the season starts you will know which players to use for substitution, since you already know how they can perform because that is very important. The case of Liverpool even if they don't make it in the transfer window, they will still do well because even during this preseason they played a beautiful game with this they can perform well even without bringing in a new player. Bringing in new player does not mean anything Chelsea is a good example of buying players and not get results, because even what Liverpool pulled out last season was a surprise to everyone because they were part of those that hard a very strong chances of winning the Premier League, but they were unable to keep up with how they started but they still tried their best.
