Upcoming 2023-2024 English Football League Premier Division
The English Premier League (EPL) is gearing up for the 2023-2024 season, and the race for the title promises to be an exciting one. Manchester City, having won 5 out of the previous 6 EPL titles, is the clear favourite to defend its crown. However, several teams are expected to mount a strong challenge.
Among the predicted challengers are Arsenal and Liverpool, who have been the closest challengers for the EPL title in recent years. Arsenal, under the guidance of Mikel Arteta, is widely regarded as a strong contender. The Gunners aim to win their first Premier League title in over 20 years, buoyed by recent signings and a settled squad.
Liverpool, fresh from a recent title victory, is also favoured by bookmakers and analysts to challenge strongly. The Reds, now adapting to a new manager, will be keen to maintain their dominance in English football.
Other "Big Six" clubs such as Manchester United, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur are expected to mount challenges for the top spots, though their odds are longer, reflecting less certainty about their title chances this season.
Odds from betting markets indicate Man City as the favourite, followed by Arsenal and Liverpool, with Chelsea, Newcastle, and Manchester United trailing further behind.
Meanwhile, Chelsea's new manager, Mauricio Pochettino, will be tasked with improving the club's fortunes after finishing in 12th position in the 2022/2023 season. Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter had previously been sacked as Chelsea's coach, and Frank Lampard served as interim coach but was not given a permanent role.
Arsenal led the 2022/2023 season for a majority but ultimately lost to Manchester City. Liverpool had a disappointing season, finishing in 5th position. Leicester City was relegated from the EPL at the end of the 2022/2023 season, while Burnley, Sheffield United, and Luton Town will be in the EPL for the forthcoming season.
Manchester United and Newcastle qualified for the UEFA Champions League for the 2023-2024 season, and Leeds United and Southampton will be in the Championship next season.
Harry Kane, Tottenham's star striker, may be leaving the club for Bayern Munich, potentially leaving the club in a trickier position when looking to challenge for the title.
In summary, the 2023-2024 EPL season is shaping up to be a thrilling one, with Manchester City aiming to defend its title against a host of strong challengers. Arsenal and Liverpool are widely regarded as the main contenders, while Manchester United, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur are also expected to be significant contenders. The race for the EPL title is set to be a closely contested one.
