EPL storylines for 2024-2025
- Can Arsenal beat City to the title? Pep Guardiola’s men are aiming for their fifth consecutive league win but do not look as strong as in previous seasons. The Gunners have drawn closer over the past two campaigns and will hope to build on back-to-back second-place finishes with one more improvement.
- Will Liverpool be competitive? How Arne Slot will fare as he attempts to follow in Jurgen Klopp’s footsteps at Anfield will be fascinating. The Reds were successfully restored to their former status by the German and now the Dutchman will look to build on the solid foundations left by Klopp. So far, Liverpool haven’t made any major changes to their squad, so expect a solid start.
- Chelsea’s malaise: With Enzo Maresca in place of Mauricio Pochettino, can the Blues get back into the race for UEFA Champions League qualification? Their spending is slowing, so expect drama at Stamford Bridge if results don’t follow suit.
- The rebuilding of Manchester United: INEOS now has a major say in what happens at Old Trafford and Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s group is giving Erik ten Hag time as manager. A few changes this summer, including the additions of Leny Yoro, Joshua Zirkzee and Matthijs de Ligt, will increase expectations, otherwise Ten Hag could be out – the pressure is on.
- New faces: Southampton and Leicester City return after a relatively short absence, but Ipswich Town are back after a 22-year absence from the top level. Expect the Tractor Boys to give their best and try to be as competitive as possible despite the huge jump in quality from the EFL Championship to the EPL.
- Unai Emery’s Villa revolution: The Birmingham-based team stunned the EPL last year by breaking into the top four and finishing in a UCL position. Matching or bettering that will be difficult for the Spaniard and his players, but don’t rule out the Villans having a chance.
