Well until the teams you mentioned actually get back to their old ways and step up their game, I think am gonna go with jaycoinz on this because it's really something else for Manchester city to have achieved what many clubs couldn't do even at their prime in the premier league, I mean that's definitely a way to say they are firmly rooted on their course to actually be number one in the league.

Having the premier league u DER their grip isn't something I think Manchester city actually really does, because they have been able tow in the league title back to back for a good number of time isn't enough to think they have gotten the full colony of the premier league, I agree that they have been a really excellent team so far in the premier league but we can't still say they now have so much grip over the premier league as there are other top teams that makes it not a very easy one for Manchester city to be able to enjoy dominance that much.

Winning the premier league all these years have been by only a few points a d not by really huge possessive points that will really feel like they are the only subordinate to all others in the league. I believe that if teams like Arsenal or Liverpool and possibly Manchester united or Chelsea gets back in their solid form firm enough, the chances for city at the trophy will become very small that thay may not be able to win the trophy , even the one they just won is with a slight point difference that is less than five, so I still believe the premier league hasn't been totally dominated by Manchester city to the point they will be saying they have got all the grip over the league as at this time.

Since Ten Hag take the managerial job of Manchester United, their Premier League performance is not improving, they are not the Manchester United we use to know that are always in the title chase, they managed to qualify to the Europa League through their victory in the FA Cup final against Manchester City.
I must commend Ten Hag’s effort for trying his best to win two trophies for United in his first two seasons, but he have to do more because FA Cup is not their main target, they are looking for ways to win the Champions League and other major trio including the EPL.


If the United management gives him money to sign more players, then he can do better next season, but if he continues with this current squad, I don’t think he can make it to the Champions League again another coming season since finishing top four in the Premuer League next season will be hard for them.

Here we go again, Another football fan thinking that Manchester united problem is the manager. Let’s analyze it, Manchester united since Ferguson left have been changing coaches after every two to three seasons, they have had at least 4 managers in the past and yet nothing was to show for it, except Mourinho who had actually won something tangible. Now it Erik Ten Hag they seek to make it a long term even if the manager isn’t living up to expectations at the moment. He has actually won two trophies even with the crisis behind him. If we go by your analogy that coaches needs to be sacked when things are rough then the likes of Arteta and Klopp are wouldn’t have lasted longer than they are doing or did. Take a look at clubs like Chelsea that sack coaches all the time, haven’t got anything tangible to show for it.

As for the spending, it is not all clubs that has high revenue that can buy just any players any how, there are regulations like the FIFA regulations that governs them not to over Spend. With Manchester United they have spend a lot on average players so they need to have a change of strategy and team of the scouting department to see how to get done properly

Yeah that's true that Manchester city has the league under their grip but it would be something else if we do compare them to the like of Real Madrid when in the champions league and besides the champions league would be filled with lots of other teams that would be leveling up like Bayern Munich and Bayern Leverkusen too if am not mistaken 😁😁

The deepest bench thanks to the most brazen financial scams  I think that even without Pepp, but with the ability to carry out any transfers, City would dominate, this is the root of their success. While Arsenal sold their best players to develop, City bought whoever they wanted. I don't see anything worth respecting in this.
As for the Champions League, City is no better than Liverpool or Chelsea, so you shouldn’t put them on the same level as Real.

Manchester United is one that I am paying attention to now, because up to now they have not been able to give the best in their performances, in fact they look like they are continuing to decline if we look at the end of this season in the English Premier League. They are one of the big teams in the English League or even in Europe, they have experienced glory in the past but now that glory is far away from them.
Next season is the season where Erik Ten Hag's fate will be at stake, because the decline in this season means many people don't believe in Erik Ten Hag now. However, Manchester United management still gives him the confidence to stay with Manchester United next season.
He must be able to prove to himself that Manchester United was not wrong in making a decision. However, if he still applies the same pattern as before, then I am pessimistic that he will be able to make Manchester United even better.

Ipswich Town will want to start the season with a full effort so they can be recognized. But even with that, I don't have hope for them against Liverpool. Liverpool is still a strong team in Premier League competition, so this team is just being promoted, as you said, and even though they will like to perform aggressively, I don't think they can beat Liverpool because Liverpool are also strong and far better than them. Arne Slot will do everything to make this possible for Liverpool, although I can't underrate Ipswich Town because I don't really know much about them until I see them perform next season. Maybe they will do more than I am thinking.

Sooner or later, Pep Guardiola will also leave Manchester City, regardless of whether by retiring or becoming the coach of another team. In the last few seasons, there have been many rumors circulating that Pep Guardiola will leave Manchester City and get a new project as national team coach. I don't know if that would be the best challenge for him, but winning a title at national team level is a good one for him to consider.

Pep Guardiola has proven himself to be one of the best coaches in Europe. He won many domestic titles and also other prestigious titles such as the Champions League, which is a great achievement for him. If he leaves, of course Manchester City will change greatly and will no longer dominate the Premier League as has happened so far.

Of all these, I hope that Liverpool can have a very good line-up and that the players remain , because everything that Klopp did was a great job. The truth is that it is a shame that Klopp is no longer here, because really many of us liked this team just to see Klopp and the Egyptian to see what he could do with Luis Diaz, it was really exciting, but now it is a new cycle , and the level they have has to be maintained and increased, so that they can be Champions , but so far I see City very Strong with Pep , for me it is the most Complete team in the Entire PL.

In the end, Pep Guardiola will definitely leave Man City and will coach another club and it is the same as Jurgen Klopp who left Liverpool in the midst of their improving performance like last season. Why are you so sure that when Pep Guardiola leaves, Haaland will automatically leave too because as far as I know every player has a release clause with a contract agreement so that before his contract ends it will be difficult to leave the team. Unless there is a club willing to pay the release clause at a fantastic price.

Every change of coach will definitely have an impact on the club and usually tends to be negative where the club will experience some bad performances before the new coach is able to adapt to the players. The English league competition is so tight that there will be a lot of competition that will emerge so that the new coach will have a little difficulty adapting quickly.

Predicting these teams to win isn't just enough because even with the fact that we a re very aware of their ability a d know how much they can be able to achieve with their strength in these fixtures, we still have to know that keeping an open mind to the outcomes remains the best especially as we are yet to perfectly assertain  their strengths fully at this point, we can get some level of certainties about the strength of teams at a point in the season, probably when they have gone halfway the season already than we can say at some point with every surety they can be able to win some fixtures with little to almost no doubts.

Liverpool and Manchester united looks like they are at advantage in the two fixtures and this is going by the previously known strength and form of their opponents, the current form and strength of their opponents isn't such that I can say we know for sure at the moment, so it's okay to think Manchester united and Liverpool will easily win their games but Chelsea may have issues with theirs, it's aswell okay to see that at the end of the day, the both teams didn't produce the results expected of them and Chelsea too could pull up a surprise, in football there are many possibilities which you cannot at some point foresee until they are made reality, then you will have a chance to see how possible it could occur in the future.

If Chelsea had kept Pochentino, I believe that next season Chelsea would have gotten a place in the European Champions League, but with this change of coach, I see Chelsea returning to the bottom of the rock they were in before Pochentino became Chelsea's coach. . As for Manchester United, honestly I don't expect great things from Manchester United mainly because the management decided to keep the current coach for the long term and when I read this news today:

It seems to me that the management of Manchester United are focused on building a strong team in the long term, but the problem with this idea lies in the coach who, in my opinion, is not managing to build a good team despite having a lot of budget, see that Aston Villa who is financially lower when compared to Manchester United, they managed to perform better than Manchester United last season, but even so, Manchester United's management don't see that the most important part of a team is the coach, if they could get a good coach, then they could constantly fight for the champions league place and the title and they could also fight to win the European champions league. I see Aston Villa and Tottenham and Newcastle and Arsenal and Manchester City competing for the 4 places in the European Champions League next season and Manchester City will be champions again

Difficult opponent team for Premier League team promotion Ipswich Town not only at the first match but also on second match, Ipswich Town will face Liverpool on the Premier League opening match and second match facing Manchester City. Usually top premier league team still not consistent their performance and Ipswich Town has opportunity getting one or three points against Liverpool with their new manager and need time for adapting new tactician.

Facing the difficult opponent team early actually has benefit for Ipswich Town will get easily opponent team on next match, but all premier league team are difficult team and Ipswich Town must improving better performance than EFL Championship. Don't follow the premier league team promotion in this season because three teams promote have return back to EFL Championship.

That is the thing, everyone kept talking about how it was "money" that made them good, a lot of social media people basically mocked him as well, but looking back now, he spent much less than many teams that did worse, he doesn't spend nearly as much as those teams, and sold a few players and made profit too.

I think now people are talking about how premier league is becoming a "farmers" league as well to diminish his accomplishments, but the reality is that we are talking about Manchester City, they are the ones that made it possible for it to be like this. That is why I believe that we are seeing him doing something that is doing amazing and that should be the most important thing that we could talk about.

Ipswich Town is just a promoted team that will likely be relegated again at the end of the season. There is a very large gap between the depth of the Ipswich Town squad and a top Premier League team like Liverpool, in fact the overall market value of Ipswich Town players is much lower than the market value of Alexis Mac Allister. Based on this, I think Ipswich Town is not a tough opponent for the top Premier League teams, but Ipswich Town's success in getting promoted to the Premier League is worthy of appreciation.

Ipswich Town will probably try to do well throughout next season even though they are very underrated. Of course it's natural because on paper Ipswich Town is not a quality team like many other teams. Even if in the end Ipswich Town have to be relegated, then that is a natural thing for them. What they need to do is fight.

Football as we all know is a game that's full of surprises and that's we can not say never until the final result of a game is confirmed. However, I'm the opinion that Ipswich Town wasn't lucky enough to avoid the kind of difficult game they'll play as their first English Premier League game of next season after their promotion to the English top flight. Liverpool who now has a new manager that'll begin his first season with the Merseyside club is undoubtedly the favorites to win the game and since it'll be Arne Slot's first English Premier League game as a Liverpool manager, I expect nothing but a Liverpool side at their best.
There is a strong doubt among English club football supporters of Arne Slot will be able to achieve success in his first season as a Liverpool manager and though I'm also of the opinion that it'll be very difficult for the Dutchman to kick the ground in his first season at the club, I also think we shouldn't totally write him off. The next season is six weeks away from kickoff and I just can't wait for it

This will be a big test for Ipswich Town because they have to face Liverpool in their first match after promotion to the top league in England. But what is interesting in the English league is that the bottom, promotion and top teams will play much more aggressively so that the matches are much more interesting. Arne Slot will give his best so as not to be embarrassed by Ipswich Town and a first match like this will be very important for the new coach.

If we look at the quality of the players, Liverpool will easily get three points in this match, but we also need to look at Arne Slot's ability in this match. Most likely it will not be easy for him to get full points because he needs adaptation in combining the previous players and Ipswich Town will definitely take advantage of these conditions to at least draw.

I am only saying from my own thoughts and based on what have happened to other clubs in the past if City fails to get coach that is up to the club standard, that will be their downfall. Manchester City will not stay strong for long as it is gojng to affect the performance of the club with time and some players will leave the club when things are not working out as expected anymore.

Maybe that is when City will face big challenges. It is football and when you don't have the best all the time, you will not be able to withstand the best clubs in any competition, and the club performance will not be consistent.

Your prediction is great per se thou I have different opinion on some of your picks. As for the title contender, I would have predicted the same teams as you just mentioned but Arsenal have the higher chance. For the past two seasons now including the just concluded season, Arsenal had every opportunity to win the league but the couldn't due to some mistakes. I believe Arterta has learnt enough lessons for the past seasons and he's expected to make correction this coming season. If the same thing should happen again, then they are just average team as we normally assume.

Leicester city was once a great team in the English premier league but all of a sudden, it has become their norm to relagate this season and promote the next season. However, I don't see them repeating that process this coming season judging from their performance in the championship thou towards the end of the season their performance depreciated. Their position on the table might be at buttom thou but relagating back to championship again will be a shame to them and their management.
