Premier League predictions see Manchester United in sixthI don’t think a reasonable argument can be made to separate City and Liverpool as both are far superior to all other teams and will surely end up 1st and 2nd. I don’t buy the notion thator that Nunez is some sort of Carroll-esque donkey, or similarly that City will take time to adjust to a new formation. Both will be dominant in nearly every match they play.
Relegation wise Bournemouth and Fulham looked doomed to me, the former won’t score enough and the latter will concede too many. Also tipping Brentford for the drop, they were rescued somewhat by Eriksen last year and without him I don’t see enough creativity in midfield to supply Toney, though I think Everton will run them close due mainly to Lampard who is yet to look anything like a capable manager.
Harry Kane in a Conte inspired team will be up for it. And he’ll be well rested after England get knocked out in the World Cup last 16.I think Jesus will be good for Arsenal. He’s a very good player and could give them the goals they need. I know half the world thinks that so it’s not hugely original. Let’s got for Nunez as well since I’m very biased.I don’t see Chelsea getting £50m worth out of Raheem Sterling. But for the sake of the league, let’s hope it’s Haaland.
Now the players who haven’t impressed as much are the players like McTominay, who, if he was not 6’4″, would be a Championship player at best but has still shown his exceptional talent at hiding between two opposing players when his defenders have the ball. Rashford was one who early in pre-season looked promising like the rest of the team as he was going back to basics and giving crosses and was not just cutting in and shooting from 40 yards.
The vast majority of United’s titles were pretty much uncontended in the 90s and when he finally got consistent competition first with Arsene and then with Jose he was significantly less successful and I imagine it was the reason he retired, Easy Street was closed and he would just spoil his excellent looking record if he carried on.
