Top 3 will be Arsenal, City, Liverpool with Newcastle and Man U finishing 4th and 5th.
I'm not convinced Liverpool will be any good this season ngl. So far they've really not done that much in the transfer market compared to what they need — they've just been one in, one out on midfielders. I think they'll probably still make Europe but I'm not convinced they'll make CL.
I know it's a bold statement to make, but out of all the top teams that struggled last year they seem to be the one team who could improve the most.
Newcastle should finish 3rd, but I have this feeling Klopp will have Liverpool playing very well this year and they won't be the pushover they were last year.
I've pencilled in United for third, actually. Actually having a striker, even if he doesn't end up that great, should help a bunch, as should having an actual keeper.
A new starting GK and ST could potentially help push them to third, but I'm curious if they really have the depth required to compete. If they can avoid the injury bug they do have the talent to get to third.
Yeah i wouldnt feel confident about martial as a second choice striker but hey they do still have Rashford as an option (and hopefully not but technically still on the books with no news yet Greenwood)
If they do bring Greenwood back I hope they get swapped with FCUM
My prediction:
(Top five could get Champions League depending on UEFA results.)
I think Newcastle will fall off. Last year was cinderella like, and I can see them losing dumb away games, especially with CL now a huge distraction. Anyway, after #1 I don't really care.
oh right the new fucking CL rules. ffs lol
I think Villa will be a dark horse for Europa football, they were good end of last season and they have signed some good players.
United is finishing 7th. I'm not buying the Onana hype.
Just gonna say it right now: we're gonna win at least one of the PL, FA Cup, EFL Cup, or CL. This season. Nelson is gonna have a breakout season in the CL. And Spurs are gonna miss Europe again.
I have the feeling Spurs will play well stylistically but will struggle to pick up points when Kane either stop scoring or gets hurt.
Their defence is bad, and unless their new keeper is a brick wall I expect them to let in a lot of goals.
If they keep Kane they're the stupidest management team this half of the Premier League. (mostly cuz Chelsea is bottom half, but still.) He's gone in a year; take the money and reinvest.
Oh you better believe this is the hill Levy dies on. Doesn't sell Kane, doesn't make CL, Kane leaves on a free (guessing United at this point), a rebuild is declared and Son ends up being sold (he will have a terrible season as he gets slower + older) and Spurs turn into mid table team.
We finish above Liverpool
Spurs finish with a negative GD despite scoring more than 30
City concede fewer than 19 goals
We score more than 90 goals
Not going to predict standings but just minor things, we will win both NLD fixtures and we will beat City at least once in either cup or league matches.
Relegated: Wolves, Luton, Sheffield
I think Luton might surprise all of us tbh, West Ham is who I'd pick for the third to go down. Sean Dyche's got that dawg in him for Everton.
I do believe Maguire may end up being a good signing for West Ham, so I don't see them going down. Sheffield will probably play the manager merry-go-round, they'll probably go back down and Leicester back up.
hadn't realised they're signing maguire; fair play that'll probably help, but if they lose Paqueta as well they have no midfield lmfao
