Favourites to win
Every team that takes part in the championship would like to win. But you need to assess the chances of the tournament’s participants. Bookmakers favor the following teams:
- Manchester City;
- Arsenal;
- Liverpool;
- Tottenham
The mentioned teams have the best chances to win based on the presence of top-class performers, experience, current form, and other factors. Let’s take a look at the favourites individually.
Manchester City
Pep Guardiola’s team is deservedly regarded as the strongest team on the planet right now. Last season, Manchester City won the Champions League for the first time.
And while winning the English championship is almost every day for City, last season’s triumph was remarkable. Manchester City won the Golden Treble with victories in the Champions League, the English Premier League, and the FA Cup. Such an achievement in football history does not happen often. Manchester City became the tenth club in history.
Man City lost several vital players in the summer off-season – Riyad Marez, Aymeric Laporte. However, no less talented players came in their place 3 – Josko Guardiola, Jeremy Doku, Mateo Kovacic, Mateusz Nunes.
Arsenal
London Arsenal have returned to their former glory over the past few seasons. Thanks to the coaching work of Mikel Arteta, the team has managed to return to the Champions League and impose the struggle for victory in the English championship. Last season, the Gunners were close to the championship. However, Manchester City was more successful in the distance, scoring five points more.
Arsenal has a very high-quality squad. According to Transfermarkt portal, Arsenal’s squad is the most expensive in the world. However, Arsenal’s new project is still developing. Arteta has a lot of young players at his disposal who are yet to reach their peak. Nevertheless, Arsenal have more experience in the new season and are ready to challenge Manchester City again.
Liverpool
Liverpool, under Jurgen Klopp’s coaching, is one of the most memorable teams in football. However, the team’s results have deteriorated significantly over the past few seasons. Last season in the Champions League, Liverpool crashed out already at the stage of 1/8 finals. And in the championship for the first time in 7 years, the team finished below the fourth place. Because of this, this season, Liverpool is forced to play in the Europa League.
In the summer, the team left a group of influential players – Fabinho, Roberto Firmino, Jordan Henderson, Sadio Mane. Now, Liverpool is going through a period of rejuvenation of the squad. However, the club still managed to find quality players to replace – Dominic Soboslai, Alexis McAllister, Ryan Gravenberch. In addition, the team still has other top footballers, such as Mohamed Salah, Virgil Van Dijk, Alisson Becker.
Tottenham
Tottenham has grand ambitions to win all tournaments from season to season. However, this club is not very often able to indulge in winning a trophy. Last season was a failure. The team took only 8th place in the championship, which did not allow them to qualify for the European Cup. In the course of the season, the club changed three coaches.
However, in the off-season Tottenham found the right manager – Australian Ange Postecoglou. The expert immediately changed the order of things, and the team started to play differently. Despite losing the main star of the team Harry Kane in the summer, Tottenham continues to have the strongest players in the squad. They made up for personnel losses with the transfers of James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski.
In addition, Son Heung-min and Richarlison continue to bring results to the team.
Winner prediction
Based on the above, the paramount favourite looks to be Manchester City. The team has won the previous three Premier League seasons and continues to have terrifying potential, both in attack and defense. Their main star, Erling Howland, continues to break records and is ready for more victories.
