Seven Premier League predictions as Arsenal dethrone Man City and Enzo Maresca sacked

According to Express Sport, Arsenal is strongly favoured to beat Manchester City to win the Premier League in 2024–25.

This weekend marks the Premier League’s return. Before kickoff tonight at Old Trafford, members of the Express Sport team shared their predictions for the 2024–25 season. Manchester United takes on Fulham in the season’s opening game. Will Arsenal win their first championship since 2004 and break Manchester City’s imposing winning streak? How will Man United cope after Erik ten Hag was saved by FA Cup glory? This is our opinion…
Charlie Gordon Arsenal won the title.
Top four: Tottenham, Man Utd, Man City, and Arsenal
Leicester, Nottingham Forest, and Ipswich were demoted.
Season’s best player: Martin Odegaard
Evan Ferguson is the young player of the season.
The best opinion: No Chelsea player will score more than ten goals in the league.
Arsenal’s year needs to be this one. They’re getting stronger in the transfer market once more as Manchester City seems to be stagnating despite their increased hunger and agonising close calls over the previous two campaigns. I see Martin Odegaard motivating them to win the championship. If their primary players stay healthy, expect to see a significant improvement from Manchester United this season. Meanwhile, I wouldn’t be shocked to see Liverpool struggle under the new management; finishing in the top six would be a respectable showing for them. Cole Palmer is a pleasure to watch, but it will be difficult to top last season, and if Christopher Nkunku keeps having fitness issues, I don’t see any attacker who can take Stamford Bridge by storm.
Archie Griggs: Man City emerged victorious.
Top four: Tottenham, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City
Leicester City, Ipswich Town, and Southampton were demoted.
Season’s best player: Bukayo Saka
Kobbie Mainoo, the season’s youngest player
The latest opinion: Enzo Maresca will leave by Christmas.
It’s certain that Man City will win the league, isn’t it? I see Arsenal failing miserably once more. As Arne Slot gets used to his new role, I envision Liverpool having a challenging start to the season, but they should have enough to guarantee Champions League football. Maresca was never the correct choice for Chelsea in the first place, and he almost cost them a significant lead at the top of the Championship table the previous season. He is in over his head, and if the Blues don’t get off to a fast start, I can see this tenure at Stamford Bridge ending badly. Considering that Chelsea was more than willing to fire Mauricio Pochettino despite making it to Europe the previous season, I predict Todd Boehly—who isn’t exactly known for his patience—will fire Maresca before Christmas.
Charlie Malam Arsenal won the title.
Top four: United States, Arsenal, City, and Tottenham
Leicester, Southampton, and Nottingham Forest were demoted.
Season’s best player: Martin Odegaard
Harvey Elliott is the young player of the season.
The best opinion: Wolves should compete in Europe
Everything in me tells me not to oppose Man City, but at some point, can’t their standards lapse a little bit? Correct? Yes? Perhaps this is Arsenal’s year. The outstanding Martin Odegaard will be essential if that’s the case. Even though City has a strong run-in, the game will likely be quite close—perhaps just a point or two. Because of Liverpool’s terrible summer window thus far, I believe third and fourth are wide open; I’m backing Tottenham and Manchester United to beat the Reds. Even without European football to play, Newcastle is still a serious threat, particularly if Marc Guehi joins them and Alexander Isak remains healthy. Gary O’Neil is my favourite referee, and I have a strange sense that Wolves could atone for all those terrible calls against them. Jorgen Strand Larsen intrigues me.
Sam Smith Winner of the Title: Arsenal
Arsenal, Man City, Liverpool, and Tottenham are the top four.
Southampton, Nottingham Forest, and Ipswich were demoted.
Season’s best player: Martin Odegaard
Alejandro Garnacho is the season’s best young player.
The trendiest opinion: Erik ten Hag fired before Christmas
There’s a sense of dread about Man City this summer. They haven’t really improved, although Arsenal’s team under Mikel Arteta has been strengthened. Distractions could come from the commotion off the pitch around the 115 charges and Pep Guardiola’s future. Spurs and Liverpool will profit from the absence of strong competition for the top four. Erik ten Hag’s tactical shortcomings at Manchester United, meanwhile, will be made clear without the benefit of an injury crisis or a depleted roster. The Dutchman will be lucky if he survives until after Christmas.
Joe Krishnan Arsenal won the title.
Top 4: Manchester United, Liverpool, and City
Everton, Ipswich Town, and Southampton were demoted.
Season’s best player: Bukayo Saka
Alejandro Garnacho is the season’s best young player.
Hottest prediction: Enzo Maresca will be fired by February, and Chelsea will win in October.
I wasn’t too far off because I was one of the few that supported Mikel Arteta’s team throughout the season, all the way to the very end. This time, it will occur not because the 2023–24 campaign was superior to Arsenal, but rather because Man City will be inferior. Regarding Everton, the team is a complete mess at the top, and when that occurs, it permeates the pitch. They have been on the verge of relegation for a few years, and this year it will finally happen. With the possible exception of their opening match against Manchester City, Chelsea has likely had the best run of any of the top teams through the first seven or eight games. It may be difficult for certain teams to adjust to Enzo Maresca’s attacking-oriented style of play. However, as Leicester demonstrated to us the previous season, the Italian’s strategies grow stale and simple to counter. In six preseason games, Chelsea’s defenders allowed 13 goals, thus those two issues combined will result in a winter disaster at Stamford Bridge and the firing of Maresca.
Murphy Amos
Arsenal took first place.
Top four: Tottenham, Man Utd, Man City, and Arsenal
Leicester City, Nottingham Forest, and Ipswich Town were demoted.
Season’s top performer: Rodri
Bukayo Saka, the season’s youngest player
Hottest opinion: Aston Villa does not place among the top eight.
Whether it’s a reduction in quality or a deduction of points, I’m declaring an end to City’s winning streak. I’m still anticipating a close finish, with Rodri winning POTS. I wouldn’t be surprised if Nottingham Forest’s inadequacies also catch up to them this season. My prediction is that Aston Villa will finish outside of the top eight. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them bottom half for a little extra spiciness.
Arsenal is the Tom Parsons title winner.
Top four: Chelsea, Man Utd, Man City, and Arsenal
Nottingham Forest, Southampton, and Ipswich were demoted.
Erling Haaland is the player of the season.
Cole Palmer, the season’s youngest player
Hot pick: Manchester United will finish ahead of Liverpool
The Citizens may finally be able to put their season on hold this season as Manchester City prepares for their Premier League hearing. And Arsenal would then be in a strong position to defeat the eight-time Premier League winners. Cole Palmer will lead Chelsea back into the Champions League as he wins the young player of the season award for the second straight year, while Erling Haaland will continue to score more than 30 goals in the Premier League for the second time in his City career to win the player of the season award. Liverpool will have a difficult season under new manager Arne Slot, but Manchester United will have a much better season and place in the top four.

BREAKING NEWS: Premier League release the final decision on Amad Diallo’s disallowed goal after a thorough review

During their match against Fulham on Sunday, the Premier League issued a statement to explain why the video assistant referee (VAR) did not enable Manchester United to score a late goal.
Amad Diallo believed that he had scored the game-winning goal for Ruben Amorim’s team in the 94th minute, while they were leading 1-0 courtesy to Lisandro Martinez’s deflected attempt when the goal was scored.
After playing a wonderful one-two with Joshua Zirkzee, the Ivorian player then sent a low strike beneath Bernd Leno in the final minute of stoppage time.
Nevertheless, after observing an incident in the buildup to the goal at Stockley Park, the video assistant referee, Jarred Gillett, and the video assistant referee, Darren Cann, reviewed the goal.
After that, the goal was disallowed by the referee, Anthony Taylor, and United was able to maintain their grasp on the ball in order to clinch a crucial three points at Craven Cottage.
The Premier League has also stated that Amad’s goal against the 23-year-old was disallowed because of offside. Replays have shown that Amad’s shoulder was slightly ahead of Timothy Castagne, which led to the goal being disallowed.
The following message was sent on their official Match Centre account on X (which was then known as Twitter): “Amad’s goal was initially awarded on the pitch to him.” After conducting an investigation, the video assistant referee (VAR) determined that Amad was in an offside position during the buildup, and he suggested that the goal be disallowed.
During his post-match interview, Amorim did not discuss the goal that was disallowed; rather, he concentrated on commenting on the performance of his side in west London.
Following the cancellation of Amad’s late goal and the goal-line clearing made by Toby Collyer, Amorim expressed his satisfaction with his team’s tenacity in achieving just their third victory away from home this season.
Having this sensation when away from home is something that is quite significant. Very strong support from our fans who are away. According to the Portuguese player, “It was not a great game, and there were no great chances.”
We made an effort to play our game, but we have a lot of room for improvement. We are in possession of the final outcome, and we have already won the game; it is of the utmost importance to win at this point.
In addition, he stated that the clean sheet was “really important because it is obvious that you are getting closer to winning games, and it gives you confidence.” Today, we did not experience a great deal of suffering, which is a positive indicator. We put in a goal, and now we are moving on to the next game.
In the meanwhile, Amad was unable to score his tenth goal of the season, Rasmus Hojlund was unable to add to his two goals, and Joshua Zirkzee did not do much during his cameo appearance off the bench.
Amorim, who will turn 40 tomorrow, was not under any illusions about the areas in which his team has to improve. He continued by saying, “Even in the second half, we changed things, and we lack some pace and power in front, but it is what it is.”
If we want to have more opportunities, we need to have more ball. We have a lot of trouble with these particulars. We are able to make significant progress when we are successful.
Following that, on Thursday, United will travel to Romania to compete against FCSB in the Europa League. On February 1, they will then play host to Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.

BREAKING NEWS: Premier League release the final decision on Lewis-Skelly’s Red Card after a thorough review

Despite the fact that the authority responsible for judging games in English professional association football defended the decision on Sunday, Arsenal is anticipated to appeal the dismissal, which comes in the midst of significant criticism of Oliver’s judgement.
In the vicinity of the Wolves box, Lewis-Skelly committed a foul on Matt Doherty, which resulted in his dismissal.
The verdict was “checked and confirmed” by Darren England, and the video assistant referee (VAR) determined that Lewis-Skelly had committed “serious foul play.”
PGMOL issued a statement in response to the online abuse received at Michael Oliver, which stated as follows: “We are appalled by the threats and abuse directed at Michael Oliver following the Wolverhampton Wanderers vs. Arsenal fixture’s conclusion.”
“There should be no official who is subjected to any kind of harassment, let alone the heinous insults that have been directed at Michael and his family over the course of the last twenty-four hours.
The authorities are aware of the situation, and they have begun a variety of enquiries about it. Michael, along with all those who have been impacted, has our full support, and we are resolute in our commitment to address this reprehensible activity.
When it comes to threats, however, this is not the first occasion in recent years that a match official has been obliged to deal with them. Each and every inquiry will continue to get our assistance.
Referees are prone to making errors, according to Redknapp.
“I have had conversations with a few professionals and past referees, and they have all agreed that it was a problematic tackle. It was believed that the player had been shown a red card, and it was possible that he had twisted his ankle and been out of action for a few weeks. They had the impression that he was putting an adversary in peril, and not only preventing the counterattack.
To clarify, he did manage to get him on the ankle, so it is not a very difficult task. Let’s get that straight. On the other hand, he does not in any way merit that behaviour. It’s possible that he would be the first to admit that he could have bought himself a little bit of time, but officials are just as susceptible to making mistakes as football players are. That’s the way life is.
On the other hand, if we are approaching to the point where every error would be considered corruption, then we are in a very precarious position. There is still a lot of debate on the VAR.
“I cannot believe Michael Oliver has sent Lewis-Skelly off there,” stated Tim Sherwood, a commentator for Sky Sports, during the Soccer Saturday broadcast.
After the match, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta told Sky Sports, “It is that clear, and I will leave it to you guys.” this was spoken after the game. ‘I am completely raging with rage. However, I will decide to leave it up to you because it is so evident that I do not believe that my comments will be of any assistance.
The view taken by PGMOL on the event is that the challenge is extremely late, the point of contact is high, and video evidence supports the conclusion that this challenge is extremely late.
Joao Gomes, a midfielder for Wolves, was only awarded a yellow card for a high and late tackle on Jurrien Timber during the second half of Arsenal’s victory over Wolves.
Though Gomes was shown a red card, the fact that he was taken out of the game for two bookings means that he will only be absent for one of the matches.

I will return to Manchester United but only if Ruben Amorim do this”: Paul Pogba is ready to rejoin Manchester United but if only Ruben Amorim meet ONE condition

Through a series of posts, Paul Pogba has teased supporters of Manchester United by implying that a phenomenal third tenure at the club may be on the horizon.
Since the middle of November, when he parted ways with Juventus, the French player who won the World Cup has been without a club.
He is reportedly trying to join a club this month and has been training in Miami, where he has displayed an impressively toned body in one of the videos. According to The Athletic, he has been training in Miami.
Earlier in the season, his four-year drug suspension was reduced to 18 months, which means that he will be able to return to the field of play beginning in March.
His most recent social media activity has suggested that he may be joining United for a third time, despite the fact that he has been connected with other clubs such as Marseille, Manchester City, and Corinthians.
On Monday evening, Pogba published a cartoon that confounded many people by depicting him and Amad Diallo standing next to each other while wearing Manchester United shirts.
The picture shows Paul Pogba donning the number six jersey that he wore during his second tenure with the Manchester United football club.
On the subsequent slide of his Stories, Pogba uploaded a photograph of himself staring out over Miami from a high-rise building, accompanied by the statement, “Let’s see what’s coming…”
Given the fact that he departed on a free transfer in 2022, six years after joining Juventus for £89 million, it would undoubtedly be one of the most startling transactions in the history of the Premier League in recent times.
throughout his first season at United, he led the club to victory in both the English Football League Cup and the UEFA Europa League. However, this would turn out to be the only trophy he would win throughout his time with the club.
United also made it to the final of the Europa League in the 2020-21 season, although they were ultimately defeated by Villarreal in a lengthy penalty shootout that took place in Gdansk.
Over the course of his second stint, Pogba appeared in a total of 226 matches, during which he scored 39 goals and assisted on 51 others.
Arsenal gives in to the pressure from its fans and agrees to personal conditions in order to recruit a striker who would earn £350,000 per week. The players will come this week and may be ready to play against Tottenham Hotspur later this week.
However, its inability to live up to that massive transfer cost, in addition to occasional flashes of form, contributed to United’s deteriorating standards. This is something that cannot be ignored.
Fans of Manchester United were further made more irritated by the fact that he was able to win the World Cup with France in 2018, but he was unable to reproduce his international success at the club level.
Fans jeered him and screamed “f**k off Pogba” at a home game against Norwich, which brought an end to his career with the club in a manner that was more than disgraceful.
And when he hobbled out with a calf injury only ten minutes into a 4-0 loss at Liverpool in April, it would prove to be a perfectly dismal last act at the end of his career.
Given that negotiations over Pogba’s contract extension had never been able to get off the ground, there was never much of a chance that he would prolong his stay with United.
Pogba was first acquired by United from the French club Le Havre when he was 16 years old. In October 2011, Sir Alex Ferguson gave the young tyro his first game for United, which was a League Cup match against Leeds United.
