Which team will be better than last season?
Manchester United was mentioned first because they could not let the situation of finishing in 15th place continue ( worst in history). Tottenham are similar, having finished 17th last season. Meanwhile, Man City will likely return to the championship candidate position after Rodri has fully recovered from injury.
Which team will be inferior to last season?
Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest and Brentford are unlikely to maintain the same strength as last season. Newcastle had an unexpected summer transfer window in 2025 when they missed many goals. In addition, the "Magpies" are facing the risk of parting ways with Alexander Isak.
Nottingham Forest and Brentford are in a similar situation as a series of key players in the 2024-2025 squad have new destinations. Coach Thomas Frank even left Brentford to move to Tottenham Hotspur
Which team will win the championship?
This year's championship is still considered a three-way race between Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City. If there is a cross, the team can do it Chelsea when The Blues are on good steam with the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup championship.
Liverpool and Arsenal spent a lot of money on the attack last summer with new players such as Hugo Ekitike, Florian Wirtz, Viktor Gyokeres and Noni Madueke. Therefore, their attacking power will be more terrible than last season.
Meanwhile, Man City has invested in all three routes and has a strong force with additions from the winter of 2025. In addition, Rodri's return will certainly give The Citizens a lot of strength this season.
Who is the best contract to date?
A series of "blockbuster" deals have occurred this summer such as Florian Wirtz (more than 115 million pounds), Viktor Gyokeres (nearly 70 million pounds) or Benjamin Sesko (74 million pounds),...
Viktor Gyokeres is expected to be the best player. 54 goals last season have spoken them all. The Swedish star may need time to integrate with Arsenal and the Premier League. However, once he can do it, Gyokeres will score continuously. Given the value of a striker today, the initial fee of £55 million without add-ons for Gyokeres is reasonable for The Gunners.
Which player is the most anticipated?
Florian Wirtz of Liverpool is the most anticipated star. Without caring about how many goals the German star scored, how many assists he created or how many opportunities he created, Wirtz's flexible and sophisticated playing style will attract fans. This is the most worth-watching attacking star in the Premier League in the 2025-2026 season.
Which coach is under the most pressure?
Excluding newly promoted sides, perhaps the one under the biggest pressure is Ruben Amorim. The Portuguese strategist needs to prove his ability quickly to be able to revive the "Red Devils" after a terrible 2024-2025 season.
Man United have won just seven of their 27 Premier League games last season since Amorim arrived. The pressure will ease very quickly if his new squad has a good start. However, if Man United cannot do that, it is not ruled out that Amorim will be the first strategist to be fired in the Premier League 2025-2026.
Which match is the most anticipated in the early stages of the season?
There have been many compliments for Man United in the pre-season. The Cunha - Sesko - Mbeumo attacking trio has great potential. However, if the "Red Devils" were crushed by Arsenal in round 1, that excitement could be gone. In contrast to Arsenal, the same thing would have happened to them if they lost to Man United.
Mikel Arteta and Ruben Amorim both want to prove themselves this season. Both also need their team to start well to avoid being left behind in the first week.
