It is safe to say that they will be at the top; they will definitely not be like Manchester United or Tottenham, who were once in the top six and then suddenly dropped out of the top ten. No, Liverpool has really prepared for the season. But you are right in saying that they are not the only ones ready to win, but that is the beauty of the EPL, where competition is extremely fierce.
We all agree that next season the competition seems to be getting more competitive especially since some teams are actively hunting for new players, my favorites are still Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea so how do you think Newcastle performed, will they be able to compete in the top 5 like last season? because the rumour they will release one of their mainstay players.
On the other hand, I am really curious to see Manchester United performance after bringing in several new players and reportedly their hunt has not stopped because there are still several names on the target list. We know finish under top 10 in the standings is absolutely embarrassing while we know Man United is labeled as an elite club in the EPL therefore they do not want to repeat the same mistakes.
As for Newcastle, to be honest, I don't know. First of all, I notice the top teams that will really be fighting for the championship, not just the top five. But I hope they will at least compete for the top five, although I think there will be other teams that will also be contenders.
As for MU, I personally don't expect anything from them. Let them at least make it into the top 10, then we can talk about them starting to make a comeback.
