Premier League Futures Preview

Manchester City 

Manchester City locked away its sixth league title in 11 years when holding the Premier League cup aloft at the end of last season. 

The Citizens are favoured to do so again as the $1.60 favourites. 

It is understandable given how strong the squad is, and the owners made the bold move to lash out funds for star Norwegian talent Erling Haaland. 

To think City won the league without a genuinely recognised striker is incredible, and Haaland will make this team so much better. 

Kalvin Phillips has also made his way to the Etihad on a six-year deal, which only means this already freakish midfield with Kevin De Bruyne finds another layer. 

The clear-cut top pick. 

Liverpool

Is this the end of Liverpool’s reign as the biggest challenger to Manchester City? 

Probably not, given the Reds have signed Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz to an already freakish front half of forwards. 

Jurgen Klopp will have his men ramped up and ready to exact revenge on Manchester City after a close title fight saw them come up just short. 

The Reds will challenge again, no doubt. 

Manchester United

A new coach. A new era. New dawn. 

Erik ten Hag made his first move by signing Christian Eriksen to add much-needed leadership and class in the heart of midfield. 

Ten Hag will bring a new mindset and attacking formation to United. 

We saw what he was able to do with Ajax over the last few years, and he almost pinched a Champions League trophy. 

With rumours swirling around Cristian, Ronaldo is set to leave Old Trafford. Indeed, the Red Devils have a big transfer announcement up their sleeve. 

Expect a significant spike from United, but there will still be a few teethings issues. 

Top four on the cards, but still a long way off the title race.

Tottenham 

This is a dark horse in the title race. 

Antonio Conte has come in, had his say, implemented his style and now has the signings to make a big run at the league. 

Richarlison is a massive get for Spurs. 

He has oodles of talent and can compliment Harry Kane and Son Heung-min. 

With the defensive grit instilled by Conte, Spurs need to get their midfield firing to become a link between defence and offence. 

Conte is a winner, and Spurs can creep closer to the big boys right up the top. 

Chelsea 

After a tumultuous season behind the scenes, Chelsea will be keen to hit this season with a fresh outlook on life. 

With Roman Abramovich forced to sell his share as the owner of Chelsea, it sent the Blues’ backroom into a spin and results were hampered on the field. 

New owner Tedd Boehly has overseen the likely release of Romelu Lukaku, but there is reason to believe Cristiano Ronaldo might be making his way to Stamford Bridge. 

Chelsea is good enough on its day to make a big run at the title. 

Having won the Champions League two seasons ago proves it is amongst the best in the world. 

Arsenal

This season, the more realistic goal for Arsenal is banking away a top-four finish. 

The Gunners let it slip at the very back end of last season, with losses to Crystal Palace, Southampton and Brighton, costing it dearly in the hunt for a Champions League spot. 

The signing of Gabriel Jesus looks like a fantastic addition to a squad lacking a star finisher. 

If Thomas Partey and Kieran Tierney can stay fit, Arsenal can easily make the top four based on Mikel Arteta’s game style.
