Predicting the 2024/25 Premier League season a month before the campaign kicks off. How could this possibly go wrong?
Well, we’re going to do it anyway. After all, the new Premier League season is just a few weeks away and the excitement is already palpable. It’s at this point that even a clash between Brentford and Nottingham Forest seems like the most incredible football match one could ever witness, so let’s embrace it.
Forget Euro 2024, forget the Copa America. They’re old news. It’s time to put your Premier League head on and unanimously agree with all our predictions for the upcoming campaign.
As well as Arsenal have performed over the past two seasons pushing this all-conquering Manchester City team to their limits, they may well fall short again come the end of the 2024/25 campaign.
Given they have won six of the last seven Premier League titles, it’s hardly a leap to predict that Pep Guardiola’s men might triumph again. As dull as it would be to see the trophy return to the Etihad, it’s the logical destination.

However, with some smart recruitment and a bit of luck in the market, Glasner’s men could push on and break into the top six next season.

Arne Slot is the man handed the unenviable task of rallying the troops and building on solid foundations, but as impressive as his Feyenoord side were, he still remains largely untested at the elite level.
