Previous of the Premier 2025-26 season: Can Chelsea dethrone Liverpool?
The schools are forming rapidly before the Premier League lift the curtain in nine days, when the Liverpool Receive al Bournemouth in ANFIELD.
The previous ones are always complicated. A year ago, who thought Liverpool would be champion, Manchester City It would fail, and Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur would end in 15 and 17 position, respectively? However, it is fun to look forward, even with some important matters to solve before the signing market closes on September 1.
Next, I share my thoughts about each Premier League club before the start of the new season.
After three consecutive runners -up, the gunners have a realistic opportunity to go one step further. They already had the best defense of the league last season, when they only received 34 goals, and now they have significantly strengthened their attack. A lot will depend on whether Viktor Gyökeres You can transfer your spectacular scoring capacity of the Sporting CP in Portugal (45 goals in all competitions last season) to the Premier League. Noni Maduekewho came from the Chelseait could also have a great impact.
The money seems to be a little more tight and most of the rumors of signings surround the striker Ollie Watkins or to the goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez. However, it is reported that the Villa has reached an agreement for 30 million pounds with Nice By the ivory striker Evann Guessandwho scored 12 goals in the Ligue 1 Last season. It is still a strong squad, but the success in the Europa League It could be more realistic than a position among the top five.
They lost the central Dean Huijsen to the real Madrid and to the left side Milos Kerkez to Liverpool, while the central Illia Zabarnyi is in the sights of Paris Saint-Germain. How do these defensive holes fill will be crucial, but do not rule out more surprises of the young and brilliant coach Andoni Iraola.
It has been a worrying summer for fans of the Beeswith the coach’s departure Thomas Frank to the Tottenham Hotspurthe top scorer Bryan Mbeumo to the Manchester United and the midfielder anchor Christian Nørgaard to the Arsenal. Yoane Wissawho scored 19 goals in the last campaign, could also leave. A baptism of fire awaits the new coach Keith Andrews.
Brighton & Hove Albion
Last season: 8th place, 61 points
The output of João Pedro Chelsea leaves a hole, but a series of discreet arrivals, such as the striker Kostauula Charalambos and the left side Maxim de Cuyper, They could become future stars following Brighton’s recent tradition. The seagulls still have enough talent for their season to go well, especially in the midfielder Carlos Baleba.
Burnley
Last season: ascended from the Championship
They had the most aggressive defense in the country, with only 16 goals embedded in 46 games, when returning from the Championship under the command of Scott Parker. The veteran of the English National Team Kyle Walker He heads 10 new summer signings while preparing for what should be an exhausting campaign. They will fight against recent history, which indicates that ascended clubs again descend, but this club has previously challenged critics.
Chelsea
Last season: 4th place, 69 points
Driven by winning the Club World CupChelsea is maturing rapidly and has top -level talents as Cole Palmer and Moses Caicedo. João Pedro, Liam Deap, Jamie Gittens, and JORREL HATO All seem good signings. They will be contenders to the title unless the summer effort will take its toll.

The technician David Moyes He needs to be successful and other signings arrive, but Moyes has the touch of Midas with the Toffee. The mood is positive.
Fulham
Last season: 11th place, 54 points
A section of five defeats in its last seven games at the end of the season ended their European hopes, and have been quiet in the summer, just signing a substitute goalkeeper of the Ligue 1 (Benjamin Lecomte of the descended Montpellier). However, it is still a useful squad with a good coach in Marco Silva. With some last -minute incorporations, they will not be easy for anyone.
Leeds United
Last season: ascended from the Championship
The Championship champions last season (by goal difference on Burnley) have reinforced a familiar team with the highest category by adding useful players such as midfielder Sean Longstoffthe hard defender of the A series Jaka Bijol And the Brazilian goalkeeper Lucas Perri. The technician Daniel Farke It could be wiser after your struggles prior to this level with Norwich City In 2019. They need your top scorer Joël Piroe (19 goals in Liga last season) and the fast Daniel James They thrive and give them offensive power to win enough matches.
Liverpool
Last season: first place, 84 points
The Premier League champions have spent 300 million pounds this summer, and they may not have finished. The Reds They are precisely favorites to retain their crown, with only some possible problems: to get the new team to be coupled, integrate their newly arrived stars (especially, Florian Wirtz, Kerkez, Hugo Ekitike and Jeremie Frimpong), find more defensive coverage and overcome the incalculable blow to the club after the tragic death of Diogo Jota.
Manchester City
Last season: 3rd place, 71 points
They are desperate to show that last season it was just a stumbling block. The team has been renewed significantly in the last two windows: Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Aït-Nouri and Rayan Cheki They are some of his new signings, and most importantly, the winner of the Rodri Golden Ball It is back to anchor the midfield. But there is a slight suspicion that this team is still in transition.
Manchester United
Last season: 15th place, 42 points
They can only improve, and now the fire test arrives for the coach Ruben Amorim. Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha They will contribute goals (35 combined in the league last season) and fit perfectly in the beloved 3-4-2-1 of Amorim, and a new striker could arrive. However, United needs fresh legs and energy in the midfield, in addition to a change in culture. Finishing among the top six is the minimum requirement.

Newcastle United
Last season: 5th place, 66 points
Newcastle should feel like a lover rejected with your star striker Alexander Isak Looking for salilda amid rumors with Liverpool and rejections of signing objectives such as Hugo Ekitike and James Trafford.

The squad needs more depth with a Champions League campaign ahead.
Nottingham Forest
Last season: 7th place, 65 points
Keep the excellent number 10, Morgan Gibbs-Whitebeyond the reach of the Spurs is the key to the signing season. However, they could have difficulty repeating the deed of last season, especially with the European matches that are added to their calendar. Some tactical adjustments could also be necessary, since the teams began to decipher the Forest at the end of last season.
Sunderland
Last season: ascended from the Championship
They achieved a real blow by signing the experienced midfielder Granit Xhaka of the Bayer Leverkusen To lead a young team. The end Simon Adingra and the midfielder of the selection of Senegal Habib Diarra They are other good additions. But the Black Cats They have it difficult, since six of the last ten winners of the Championship playoffs failed to avoid the descent.
Tottenham Hotspur
Last season: 17th place, 38 points
Can Thomas Frank Bring Brentford’s magic to a bigger stage? The sympathetic Danish is intelligent and tactically versatile, but work in the Spurs It is not easy, and Frank must instill a winning mentality in a team that lost 22 games of the highest category last season despite winning the Europa League. The legend of the club They are heung-min and a possible long -term injury to James Maddison They will be true challenges to overcome.
West Ham United
Last season: 14th place, 43 points
Fans of Hammers They were bored and disappointed with the lack of results of last season. The pressure is on the technician Graham Potter To show that he is the man who can change his mood. The Captain Jarrod Bowen and the player of the year Aaron Wan-Bissaka They stood out, but new reinforcements are needed in other areas to provide speed and dynamism.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Last season: 16th place, 42 points
Celebrations in the coach’s pub Vitor Pereira With the fans were a sign of the spirit that took the Wolves out of the problems last season. The defense improved markedly, but they have lost two key players: Cunha (to Manchester United) and Ait-Nouri (To Manchester City), which is a real concern in such a competitive division. Quality replacements are needed.
