The English Premier League (EPL) season is set to kick off on Friday night with Manchester United facing Fulham. The big question on everyone’s minds is whether Manchester City can be stopped from winning their fifth consecutive title. Despite losing key player Julien Alvarez to Atletico Madrid, City remains confident in their depth and ability to keep improving their squad.
Two main contenders for the title are Arsenal and Liverpool. Arsenal finished second last season, falling just two points short of City. They have only signed Italy defender Riccardo Calafiori to bolster an already strong squad. Meanwhile, Liverpool, under new manager Arne Slot, will be looking to bounce back after a disappointing end to last season following Jurgen Klopp’s departure.
Manchester United, on the other hand, are determined to revive their former glory under manager Erik ten Hag. Despite their struggles since Ferguson’s departure, the club is hoping to challenge for trophies with the signings of Joshua Zirkzee and potentially Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui.
Chelsea, with new manager Enzo Maresca, has once again gone through a major overhaul in their squad with 11 new signings. The challenge for Maresca will be managing a squad of over 50 players and translating the heavy investment into success on the field.
The EPL promises to be an exciting and competitive season with top teams vying for the coveted title. Fans can stay updated on all the latest football news and live match commentary on the Al Jazeera Sport football page throughout the season.
