The very early Premier League Preview

The Euros are finished and people are already looking ahead to the upcoming Premier League campaign.

There will be a number of clubs desperate to stop City retaining the trophy.This article will see us look at some of the inevitable stories that are expected to take place over the course of next season.

As the season gets closer, we'll continue to adapt this page with all the latest news as the build-up to the season gets closer. 

The current champions - Manchester City

They did win the league in a fairly comfortable fashion despite a fairly poor start to the season. It will be interesting to see how they replace Aguero and whether they place a higher level of priority on the Champions League. Will this have an impact on their league form?

The challengers

Manchester United - Throughout the next season Greater Manchester Football will have the latest news and stories from the often chaotic world of Manchester. Whilst it was an improved season for the club as they finished in 2nd place, there is still a lot for the club to improve on. Fans will certainly be hoping that they can strengthen their defence. 

The current European champions Chelsea and 2020 Premier League champions Liverpool are also expected to challenge the two Manchester clubs. Liverpool will be hoping for a much improved season after a disastrous run in the middle of the last campaign saw their bid to retain the title fade very quickly.

European hopefuls?

Arsenal  - May 2022 will mark twenty years since Arsenal won a Premier League and FA Cup double. It will also be 18 years since their last Premier League success. 

It's a perhaps a sign of the times at The Emirates that even the most optimistic of Arsenal fans aren't expecting them to match those previous successes, They will be hoping to finish a lot closer to the top 4 and challenge for a Champions League place.

Welcome back

 

Norwich City - Despite being relegated the last time they were in the Premier League. Their entertaining style of play earned them a lot of friends. Very few Norwich fans will forget this memorable 3-2 victory over Manchester City.

This is a very similar situation to Watford, The Hornets have of course seen a lot more instability compared to Norwich. They will be hoping for a straightforward season back in the top-flight but that prove to be difficult unless they bring in a few new faces. 

Nice meeting you

Brentford - This will be Brentford's first season in the Premier League. Whilst they clearly have some decent players at the club, every fan would gladly accept 17th place now. Ivan Toney will be one of many players out to impress.

Can Brentford survive and thrive in the Premier League?

   

Relegation battle

Whilst the three newly promoted clubs will be ranked amongst of the favourites to go down, Brighton, Burnley and Newscastle are also expected to closer to the wrong end of the table. That being said, all three clubs could make strides if they strengthen their squads in key areas. Will this happen though?

Who won the Transfer Window?

The transfer window is closed until January 1st.  Who had the best window though? Were there any major losers? Manchester United United strengthened their defence with the signing of Varane and brought some extra quality with the signings of Jadon Sancho and the returning hero Cristiano Ronaldo. Critics would argue that they are still a world class defensive midfielder away from leading the charge in domestic and European competitions.
