I do not expect Arsenal to just rise up and get the trophy easily when there have been defending champions who are not yet ready to give up that title, at least not yet. It is very challenging for Arsenal because they have to be 2x better than Manchester City. But what i have noticed for two season now is that every single season Arsenal are getting closer to wining the league. They are correcting every mistake they made each season, their flaws in goal keeping, defense, and attacking patterns. Those things have changed.

We also saw that last season they had just one game to win and if they had won that game the league would have been their. What am saying in essence is that, we may see something different this year. I think they will be completely closer to the title this coming season.

Romeo Lukaku is surely one of the best talents in soccer despite having many problems he is doing good job and keeping himself ready for the top clubs because having cut like this has never been easy even he is having luxurious offer from the Saudi League for having contract with them, but he is trying to keep things at challenging spot.

Hopefully next season is going to be good for him because he was doing good in last season with Serie A team which will give him good benefit and Antonio Conte is also one of the best coach who can bring his best in Napoli which is also looking for bounce after having worst end of their last season. Chelsea doing good work for setting things before start of the season because with things like these we will have good dressing room situation for all players and coach which will give them confidence for win and having good results in coming season.

Every great battle is first win in the mind before the field so I agree with people saying that the problem of Arsenal was a psychological one. Like you already confirmed, they had everything lined up for them, the players, the coach and the support, yet they couldn't deliver. Last year should be the time people expected them to win the most because even supporters of other clubs had sympathy on them seeing how long they have stayed without tasting the Premiership title. But as usual, they disappointed and handed the trophy over to Man City. I don't know what to expect from the Gunners this season but I know they will do well as usual.

In essence, Manchester United must be able to improve or improve their players on every line. Because anyway, although Manchester United managed to get the FA Cup but still, based on the records in the last season that Manchester United is a weak team. How not, Manchester United had a total of 57 goals and had a total of 58 conceded and obviously, it was a very bad result with their efforts to buy players. Therefore, I think Erik ten Hag's task will certainly remain difficult because after all, Erik ten Hag is supposed to be the one responsible for the overhaul that happened in the Manchester United squad.

So yes, Erik ten Hag not only has to focus on bringing in new quality players, but Erik ten Hag also still has to improve the quality of the performance of each player in the Manchester United squad. Because if Erik ten Hag fails to fix this problem, then of course Manchester United in the next season will still be left behind or lose the title race.

But to me, Arsenal are also good, and I think Arsenal have been a very big challenge for Manchester City anytime they have a match to play. Although I know that Manchester City are currently the best, they are stronger than Arsenal, but also Arsenal is not a team that Manchester City will underestimate because Arsenal have a full squad that can win any trophy regardless of how tough it is. I think it is just a matter of time and luck that Arsenal has not been by their side all these seasons that have been played; if not, we all can attest that Arsenal are good in every position of their squad. 

Each of the 20 teams participating in the Premier League next season will basically be fighting for the title, but each team will definitely have different opportunities. The goal remains the same, to win lots of matches and win the title, but only a team that has good squad depth and can maintain consistent good performance has the potential to win the title.

Manchester United, Tottenham, Chelsea and Aston Villa are obviously very doubtful to win the title next season, so I agree on that. The squad depth of several of the teams I mentioned above is basically good, but the team's performance so far is not at all reliable. Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool are the 3 favorite teams next season, but we also never know what will actually happen next season.

Everybody is focusing on Arsenal's "mental" issues. Its the easy thing to do. But folks, Arteta has some really outstanding football players here. Last season, they were right there with City. Right there. So, you cant just say its all in their heads. They possess the methods and the talent. They require that kind of deadly instinct. That view that they are the best, not only some underdogs slinking under City's feet.

Areta? He's a sharp guy. He knows what he's doing. These days, though, its more about convincing these guys of it too. They must walk on that field as though they own it. Like they are the most outstanding champions. You also know what? I think they can do it. They have possibilities. They are ravenous. This has nothing to do with getting up to City now. Its about assuming the new benchmark. Its about conveying to everyone the essence of Arsenal football. People, believe me; this team is going far.

They still have a long way to go though to be very competitive. They need a striker. Going into the season with Hoijlond as their main striker isn't convincing to me l. Aside from a striker they also need another central midfielder. I saw the news that they are interested in Rabbiot. Rabbiot I'd be good but I think he's the kind of midfielder to rely on. They need a world-class central midfielder. Somebody who can win balls and create chances constantly. Plus, Rabbiot is not consistent enough.

I doubt Manchester United will compete for the league next season, but if they get the right players in this transfer window and the next, they might have a competitive squad, They also need Ten Hag to be his best if they hope to compete.

The three names will be the players needed by Erik Ten Hak and he knows the weaknesses last season when recruiting several players so this season he is starting to try to fix them. If De Ligt is successfully brought to Man United then their strength will be much stronger and Erik Ten Hak only needs to fix the existing players so that they can play more consistently next season. Defenders are a problem for Man United because some of the players they have are often injured so they have to realize the transfer this season.

The midfield is still a little better because Man United has several players who can be utilized and young players have also developed in that position. I see Man United's weakness in the defenders and that must really be fixed by Erik Ten Hak because it is so easy for opponents to break into their goal.

I actually don't see them getting out of the mess because looking at the performance until the end of the season does not show they are playing well and that has always been a problem for Manchester United which seems to never end as long as the conditions are still the same in terms of coaching and performance.

They started the season warming up with a friendly with Rangers which I think was good to see. It's good to see Sancho playing again even though we didn't see the exciting performance he showed in this match but on the other hand with today's friendly match we can actually see that the condition of Manchester United especially for their young players is actually very good and quite competent.
In addition to Sancho, we also saw Yoro play for the first time with Manchester United and his performance was still very good and quite straightforward I think so if Ten Hag believes more in the young squad next season I think it's still not too bad because some of them have good enough potential to be able to compete in the core squad.

As for now Manchester City is clearly ahead of the other premier league clubs so I agree we set them aside, until Guardiola leaves they will be serious tittle contenders every season. As for the team to dethrone them I also agree with you that Arsenal are definitely the team with that ability right now. The inclusion of Chelsea though is what baffles me, i don’t think this current Chelsea team looks like any team near that which will contend for the tittle this upcoming season. Second half of last season they were brilliant and look set to be a threat this season but the board changing the head coach definitely is a big set back to me. Enzo Maresca is given youths to turn to champions and I don’t think this can be achievable in just a season, which makes me to rule them out right now.


Ten Hag has addressed this in the media already that they have decide to lower their guards and focus on the future together, we don’t know maybe Sancho had apologized but I am obliged to think he has but Ten Hag has gotten my respect with the way he handle the situation. Now that Sancho is back I will like Ten Hag to give him more minutes so that he can prove himself or People can see that it is not the coach that is the problem too.

We have been discuss about this before that Sancho and Ten Hag have already to ended their conflict so that's why after his loaned with Dortmund ended Ten Hag was allowing Sancho to train with Manchester United again and it is confirmed Ten Hag will bringing Sancho to playing at pre season matches with Manchester United and after absense in the first match against Rosenborg finally Ten Hag was putting Sancho into Manchester United lineup against Rangers

For the match against Rangers i can says Manchester United performing better compared to their match against Rosenborg and this match have already to finished recently and Manchester United can win with the final scores 2-0 with goal from Diallo and Hugill so this is positive result from Manchester United because finally they can able to gets their first win from pre season matches

Ten Hag was actually have no plan to playing Sancho in this match but because Rashford still got injured then he was attempts to playing Sancho as left winger and the result is very good even Ten Hag was very satisfied to see Sancho performance and according to the schedules Manchester United at least will do 3 friendlies matches again before Premier League begin and next Sunday Manchester United will playing against Arsenal at SoFi Stadium

That’s what i think also, i don’t think it’s the management but mentality factor, they still lack that mentality to play throughout the season with same mentality and energy. Compared to last two season i think last season was even better but they are not yet up to Manchester City standards yet. Building a competent team takes time and even Manchester City took a little while to reach this level so if Arsenal can be consistent enough to retain their form for more seasons to come they would surely get to that level someday.

What they need most importantly is to win the Premier League i believe once they do that it will be easy for them to build on that momentum and probably take the same momentum to the Champions League.
To do this Arteta needs the support of the management and the fans as well despite failing in the previous seasons.

The Liverpool coach is just taking his time to identify the areas that needs to be strengthen. He is just new to the club and he is just starting to train with the players to know which one will fit in and which one should go out before they can talk of replacement. The transfer window is still running so Liverpool still have the time to make transfers. Unlike Manchester United who have had their coach with them for two seasons so he already knew what he needs and their new owners are also read to splash the cash.

Yeah that's what we thought, it is impossible for Manchester City to always dominate every season so if not this season then next season Manchester City will end. I've said it many times Arsenal is one of the teams with the most potential to win the title they have the ability to do it just need a few extra players in the attack line. Apart from Arsenal, we are also waiting to see how Chelsea goes through the season, they are predicted to make things difficult for any team. I still remember how Chelsea improved towards the end of the season, and next season they can do it again.

Everyone is having his own mythology about competitiveness with we all know how tough this league is despite having one teams dominance things have never been easy to predict until end of the last game even Manchester City is now having edge against all opponents but still things have never been easy for them to win here. Manchester City is doing good job because they are now having enough quality and experience into their squad which is playing together for long time and their depth is amazing Haaland is having tag of goal scoring machine which is surely idea with his current performance.

Now next season could be more entertaining because we are having few clubs which are improving their quality and having good consistency which will keep things at the top level, and we will have good challenges for the titleholder to defend in this coming season.

The process has been in the making and I believe that it's just a matter of time before arsenal are able to do something about city dominance in that league, now that Liverpool has also changed their coach, their stand in the premier league chase is also under probability because it's likely that their pattern of playing would change because I am very certain that kloop departure in that would have some kind of effect on that team.

In my opinion, Arteta has done everything so that Arsenal can win a trophy, but so far luck has not been on their side. Talking about mentality, Arsenal has proven to have it by being able to perform more consistently than in previous seasons, meaning that Arteta has succeeded in bringing Arsenal on the right track, it could be that the success we mean is just a matter of time. Apart from that, the competition for the trophy next season will still be influenced by Manchester City performance. If Pep Guardiola squad performs consistently, it will be difficult for all Premier League contestants to win the trophy, including Arsenal too. Pep Guardiola has more quality rotation options than other managers, that is an added value that they have.

However, the decision is still in Chelsea's hands, because Lukaku still belongs to Chelsea. Now what kind of approach will Napoli take to get Lukaku? Will the loan option return? or Napoli ready to pay Chelsea in full to make him permanent? The reason is that Napoli had to spend a lot of money on Chelsea, because Chelsea themselves spent a lot of money when they brought him in from Inter Milan.
Unless they are ready with a player exchange option in which case they must be prepared to spend money. However, Napoli and Chelsea will definitely carry out a long negotiation process, because they both want to gain benefits if this player exchange occurs. This can be seen from how Napoli want to sell Osimhen at a high price and Chelsea also want to sell Lukaku at a high price. But so far I haven't heard that they have discussed this option, or are they closed to this?

Liverpool has a new coach who's got little or no knowledge of what it means to be a manager in the Premier League. He will need time or should I say a season before he settles down fully. I don't know if he can be able to have a quick start when the Premier League Competition kicks off. Also about the squad, they have defenders who are not consistent, Injury prone Konate, ageing Virgil Van Dijk and tempted Alexander Arnold wanting to leave for Real Madrid. They're even yet to make any addition his transfer window.

I'm not convinced Manchester United can win the Premier League Competition, but I'm sure they could finish third or second position at the end of the season. They're making good signatures, but can they adapt to Erik Ten Hag's style of play? In four weeks time, we'll see about that. As Manchester United host ( Fulham at Old Trafford )

Without being biased, I feel like Arsenal deserved the Premier League Competition last season, but what happened? They screwed things up against Aston Villa and that was the biggest game I expected Mikel Arteta to win.

They had the highest goals scored last season, a beautiful football played, togetherness and most importantly a great defense. What was lacking was a natural goalscorer, which they haven't got yet. I do hope to see them winning next season. As for Manchester City, they'll come second to Emirates.
