Nayan Murthy
Prime 4 so as: Liverpool, Arsenal, Man Metropolis, Chelsea
Regardless of issues about Liverpool’s defence I believe their strengths going ahead by Hugo Ekitike, Mo Salah and Florian Wirtz will likely be an excessive amount of for the remainder of the league to deal with. Arsenal will run them nearer than they did final season with the addition of latest striker Viktor Gyokeres.
Relegation: Brentford, Burnley, Leeds
I believe Sunderland’s recruitment this summer season will likely be sufficient to maintain them within the league and Brentford shedding Christian Norgaard, Bryan Mbeumo and presumably even Yoane Wissa will harm them.

Relegation: Brentford, Wolves, Burnley
Burnley merely haven’t strengthened sufficient to outlive, Wolves have misplaced Matheus Cunha and Rayan Aït-Nouri and Brentford have misplaced boss Thomas Frank and key gamers Bryan Mbuemo and Christian Norgaard, whereas Yoane Wissa might additionally depart.
Prime scorer: Mo Salah
The Egyptian king has been the Premier League’s most constant purpose menace for practically a decade, and having received it final season there’s little purpose to consider 2025/26 will likely be any completely different.
Commercial
Greatest shock: Manchester United
The arrivals of Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbuemo, and Benjamin Šeško give them pace, motion, and suppleness up prime, whereas no European schedule in comparison with rivals might assist them keep contemporary.
Footballer of the 12 months: Florian Wirtz
A real blockbuster signing. His imaginative and prescient, creativity, and talent to unlock defences might outline the season for his new membership.

League Cup: Arsenal
Raff Tindale
Prime 4 so as: Liverpool, Man Metropolis, Arsenal, Chelsea
Liverpool to safe their second title in a row after what seems to be an especially profitable switch window. Ought to they signal Alexander Isak from Newcastle there’s nothing stopping them from steam rolling by the league, although Man Metropolis will push them to the very finish if the Swede stays placed on Tyneside.
Commercial
Relegation: Sunderland, Leeds, Burnley
The gulf in high quality between Premier League and Championship sides has hardly ever been better, and it’s onerous to see the fortunes of Sunderland, Leeds and Burnley being any completely different.
Prime scorer: Erling Haaland
22 targets within the league final season in what would was dubbed a not so profitable season for the Norwegian and Manchester Metropolis as an entire.

League Cup: Manchester United
A dire first season on the membership for Ruben Amorim, however Man United don’t typically depart it lengthy with out successful silverware.

Commercial
Japtej Ghura
Prime 4 so as: Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester Metropolis
Liverpool to win the league once more after strengthening in key areas and conserving forward of the pack. The remainder of the highest 4 decide themselves however I do really feel Chelsea will end third, both forward of Metropolis or Arsenal.
Relegation: Brentford, Leeds, Burnley
I’ve gone Sunderland to remain up as I’m an enormous fan of their summer season enterprise. Granit Xhaka is a large coup and will simply nonetheless play for a Champions League staff. I believe Brentford will go down as Keith Andrews has by no means held a head coach place and the lack of Bryan Mbuemo and presumably Yoane Wissa means they’re severely weakened.
Commercial
Prime scorer: Mo Salah
Prime scorer is fascinating. It might be Isak or Haaland however Salah is ever-dependable and reveals no indicators of slowing down.
Greatest shock: Each Gyokeres and Sesko wrestle
I believe each Gyokeres and Sesko will wrestle, for various causes. Gyokeres had wonderful numbers in Portugal however his energy is enjoying with area forward of him and working the channels. Arsenal play loads of groups who sit deep towards them so he received’t have that chance. Sesko strikes me as one other Hojlund/Zirkzee. A good younger striker who’s overpriced and never able to be a United starter. He solely scored 13 Bundesliga targets final 12 months and 14 the 12 months earlier than that.
Participant of the season: Mo Salah
I believe Salah would be the participant of the season if Liverpool win the league. Wirtz seems wonderful but it surely’s his first marketing campaign and even when Isak indicators he’s injury-prone whereas Salah is so resilient and can play nearly each sport.
Commercial
FA Cup: Arsenal
They desperately want a trophy however I don’t see them successful the Premier League or Champions League.
League Cup: Chelsea
They’re not able to win the Premier League or Champions League however this staff is filled with firepower and have carried their wonderful type on the finish of final season into the Membership World Cup.
Dan Ludlam
Prime 4 so as: Liverpool, Man United, Chelsea, Man Metropolis
Liverpool to return to again however United to offer the shock of the season pushing them to the wire in a hotly-disputed title race. Chelsea and Metropolis to complete above an underwhelming Arsenal.

Brentford to succumb to the sale of a number of of their finest gamers, whereas Sunderland to carry out above expectations and keep away from the drop, in contrast to their promoted counterparts.
Commercial
Prime scorer: Benjamin Sesko
Season of his life and can instantly endear himself to the Outdated Trafford devoted.

Prime 4 so as: Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester Metropolis, Chelsea
Mikel Arteta has fine-tuned his squad this summer season, headlined by the highly-anticipated arrival of a centre-forward in Viktor Gyokeres. If the items lastly begin to click on, they might be on their method to ending their 22-year wait.

Commercial
Relegation: Sunderland, Leeds, Burnley
The hole between the Premier League and Championship nonetheless feels too massive, and I believe all promoted sides will go down for a 3rd consecutive season. Sunderland have strengthened neatly, including the expertise of Granit Xhaka and securing key offers for the likes of Trai Hume and Eliezer Mayenda. I believe Leeds’ recruitment has been underwhelming, and Burnley’s squad lacks Premier League high quality, however golf equipment resembling Wolves, Brentford and West Ham may additionally wrestle.
Prime scorer: Erling Haaland
There’s no purpose scorer fairly like him in world soccer proper now. If Arsenal’s Gyokeres can hit the bottom working, the Norwegian will face stealthy competitors — however we all know competitors merely fuels him to carry out even higher.
Commercial
Greatest shock: Sunderland to take factors off large six at dwelling
I tipped them for relegation, and whereas no person enjoys comparisons with their arch-rivals, Sunderland share some similarities with their neighbours that might work of their favour: awfully chilly climate, a excessive away finish to rattle guests, passionate dwelling followers and an brisk, clever supervisor who has recruited effectively this summer season. Whereas it will likely be powerful to problem the heavyweights as newcomers, they may make their mark on the highest finish of the desk on the Stadium of Gentle.
Footballer of the 12 months: Bukayo Saka
The 23-year-old’s marketing campaign final season was interrupted by an harm that saved him out between the tip of December to April, but he nonetheless managed to succeed in double figures in assists. With Noni Madueke prepared to fit in, Saka will undoubtedly rise to the problem, and the arrivals of Martin Zubimendi and Gyokeres might be the important thing to elevating his sport.
Commercial
FA Cup: Chelsea
Chelsea have had a knack for trophies not too long ago, and the FA Cup might be their clearest pathway to successful silverware as soon as once more. Enzo Maresca holds a robust hand of attacking choices, which might show very important when navigating by the rounds within the congested months in the beginning of the calendar 12 months.
League Cup: Manchester Metropolis
Pep Guardiola’s facet aren’t any strangers to this event — they received it 4 instances in a row between 2018 and 2021 — and with better depth this season, they appear an much more fearsome pressure in cup competitions.
