With clubs actively strengthening their squads, fans and analysts alike are eagerly anticipating what promises to be another thrilling campaign.

Arsenal, who have been Manchester City’s closest challengers in the past two campaigns, are predicted to finish as runners-up once again. Mikel Arteta’s side will be eager to close the gap and finally overtake City, but Carragher believes they will fall just short again.
Liverpool will enter the season with significant changes, most notably the departure of Jurgen Klopp after a long and successful tenure.
