Mate, don't forget Arsenal, who almost overtook Manchester City at the top of the standings twice and for Chelsea we can't have high expectations because with a new coach we don't know whether he will succeed or vice versa. So far it is predicted that Manchester City and Arsenal will compete with each other for the title next season while other teams such as Chelsea and Manchester United cannot be predicted yet.
Yes, based on teams' performances last season, we are still expecting Arsenal and Manchester City to be strong teams that will fight for the Premier League title next season. These two teams ended the season in great form, with Manchester City winning the Premier League and Arsenal finishing in second position.
The reason I predict these two should be the strongest teams next season is that both teams have yet to sell any of their important players, and they are also trying their best to sign more quality players to strengthen their squads.
When looking at Chelsea, Manchester United, or Liverpool, it is difficult to predict their performances because some of these clubs are changing coaches and others have been facing poor performances. It would be better to wait and see how the season starts before determining how strong these teams will be.
I think that if Chelsea wants to compete with Arsenal and Manchester City next season, Todd Boehly must invest heavily to buy more players in the 2024 summer transfer period to help Maresca meet all the elements for Chelsea to compete for the title.
From my own view, Chelsea still have a better squad, and I don't think they need to spend that much to be able to compete with Arsenal and Manchester City for next season's Premier League title. If the new coach is that intelligent and has good tactics, I believe even without signing new players, they will do well. So, let's just wait and see Chelsea's performances at the beginning of the new season before predicting their title race.
