New Premier League Season Predictions

It seems like only a matter of days since Manchester Metropolis lifted their third successive Premier League crown in June, but right here we’re within the late, balmy evenings of July with one other season of the English high flight solely simply across the nook.

There’s lots to get by, however to maintain it concise, beneath we give our predictions for who will win the 2023/24 Premier League title, who will muscle their manner into the highest 4 and which groups will begin the 24/25 season within the Championship.

Premier League Winner – Arsenal (9/2)

Yep – it’s a controversial one to start with. We’d nearly really feel dangerous tipping Pep Guardiola’s Manchester Metropolis at an odds-on worth (8/11), so the Gunners are our choice to raise their first Premier League title in 20 years.

It ought to be prefaced that this isn’t to say Metropolis will drop off spectacularly, nor that Arsenal will run away with it (though it does appear that a kind of two issues have to occur as a way to dethrone the Mancunians). One simply will get that feeling that Arsenal’s younger, hungry squad will be taught from the final marketing campaign and change into extra skilled in direction of the enterprise finish of the season.

Whether or not they overpaid for Declan Rice or not is irrelevant – the qualities he’ll convey to the engine room in Arsenal’s aspect  will make them nearly unattainable to move in transition, and so they can deal with exerting strain on their opposition moderately than worrying about their compatibility in the course of the park.

The primary problem with Metropolis is that they (on the time of writing) haven’t appeared to freshen their squad sufficiently, while wanting like shedding some very skilled and senior members. Joško Gvardiol can be a superb addition at centre-back if the deal will get over the road, however including some extra recent faces would reignite the starvation of a squad that in all probability feels it received’t ever transcend their success of final season.

They’ll in fact be amongst it when the season ends in Might, as could metropolis rivals Manchester United, however we reckon it’s Arsenal’s flip to finish the Metropolis dominance subsequent season.

High 4 – Arsenal (4/11), Manchester Metropolis (1/20), Manchester United (8/11), Liverpool (4/7)

That is an equally troublesome one to foretell, however when assessing the standard and type of the entire groups that will probably be amongst the Champions League locations subsequent season, the 4 odds-on sides are in all probability greatest positioned to characteristic in Europe’s premier competitors within the 2024/25 marketing campaign.

Arsenal and Manchester Metropolis communicate for themselves and can doubtless make up the highest two subsequent season, however which different groups will probably be troubling them in direction of the highest of the desk subsequent 12 months?

Chelsea have seemed promising in pre-season and have the luxurious of no European competitions to fret about in midweek, with their new-look and youthful assault offering a much-needed injection of power and mobility. There aren’t many managers on the earth higher at naturing younger expertise than Mauricio Pochettino, however the scars from a horror season final marketing campaign will run deep within the squad. Reaching a high 4 place this season would possibly due to this fact be a bridge too far for the west Londoners, who’re 5/4 to muscle their manner into the Champions League.

Manchester United look a way more smart wager at 8/11, with Erik ten Hag’s males making some invaluable additions to a squad that have already got skilled with a high 4 end. The Crimson Devils have likewise been good in pre-season, casting apart Arsenal 2-0 and looking out like harnessing some momentum from ten Hag’s promising debut marketing campaign.

Liverpool are maybe a distinct prospect as a result of having such an underwhelming marketing campaign final 12 months, however have likewise made some intriguing additions to their squad over summer time. Jurgen Klopp seldom has two consecutive dangerous seasons in administration and already seems like he’s tweaked his system with Trent Alexander Arnold assuming a extra central place, so don’t say you weren’t warned if the Reds make a comeback subsequent season.

Relegation – Luton (3/10), Fulham (3/1), Wolves (3/1)

That is one other difficult one, although most will admit that Luton happening is a close to certainty and might rival Leicester Metropolis’s 2015/16 title win if Rob Edwards’ males have been capable of keep up.

Fulham struggling relegation could come throughout as a scorching take, however their poor kind in direction of the tip of final season coincided with striker Alexandar Mitrovic’s suspension, who’s near leaving the membership throughout the summer time switch window. With Marco Silva additionally being tempted with a transfer overseas, there appears to be an air of apprehension across the membership in the intervening time, so 3/1 for his or her customary return to the Championship appears affordable.

Wolves are one other fascinating one. Regardless of a strong debut season for Julen Lopetegui, there appears to have been extra of a deal with outgoings at this present stage of the switch window, with captain Ruben Neves’ transfer to Saudi essentially the most notable transfer involving the membership to date. If Lopetegui leaves, one fears the wheels could begin to come off in Molineux, so 3/1 doesn’t appear to be the worst punt for the west Midlands aspect to go down.
