I've gone with Man City to win the league. I think they have added quality to their squad, although there may still be questions about their defence. Liverpool have added quality, but they've broken up a title-winning team and the new additions may not "hit the ground running". Chelsea will be a bigger threat this year.

I think Brentford will suffer from the departures of Thomas Frank, Bryan Mbeumo, Christian Norgaard and Mark Flekken. Wolves will also struggle, having sold two key players this summer in Matheus Cunha and Rayan Ait-Nouri. I think one of them will be relegated, and Leeds are probably the best-equipped of the newly promoted teams to benefit from either of them struggling.

I think this will also be Eddie Howe's last season at Newcastle - he, and the board, will release that he cannot take the team any further, and a change will be made.

I think Man City will win the league and Chelsea will be their nearest challengers. For me, Liverpool doesn't have the squad depth. Don't get me wrong, they have brought in some fantastic players, but the support cast - Jones, Endo, Robertson, Elliott, Gomez, etc aren't good enough, imo. Also, Salah is getting older, and the new signings will take time to adapt to the Premier League.
