Champions

Jamie Carragher: Man Metropolis
Gary Neville: Arsenal

Man Metropolis go to Chelsea, no matter we are saying about them it is nonetheless Stamford Bridge, they’ve nonetheless received big-name gamers, and so they win.”

Gary: “My reasoning [for backing Arsenal] final yr was that coming off the again of the treble for Metropolis would possibly have an effect on them at sure factors, the calls for, the expectations, the accidents, however I feel they gained their final 9 video games, which is simply particular.”

Jamie: “One thing that is fascinating about Arsenal, no workforce in Premier League historical past has improved their place 5 years in a row. Arsenal have accomplished it 4 years in a row, and to transcend the place they did final yr goes to be robust.”

Gary: “Arsenal had an unbelievable season so I used to be not 1,000,000 miles away. They’re getting nearer and I really feel they’ll do it. Pep Guardiola wins on a regular basis however I really feel Arsenal are so constant that this could possibly be the yr.

“Arsenal are attending to such a excessive degree now of consistency, defensive solidity, the stability of the workforce, they appear to be they’ve a fantastic spirit.”

Second to fourth

Jamie Carragher: Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham
Gary Neville: Man Metropolis, Man Utd and Chelsea

Gary: “Chelsea might simply be an absolute mess. However the gamers Chelsea have gotten, I feel they may have a very good season.”

Jamie: “I feel eliminating the supervisor was an enormous mistake. Enzo Maresca is a younger supervisor, actually inexperienced, and I feel it will be a tricky job. They will battle it out for the European locations, Newcastle and Aston Villa too. They have not received a goalkeeper!”

Gary: “I feel Liverpool, my view could be that the affect of (Jurgen) Klopp will take its toll. The proof of historical past. There will likely be some ache in some unspecified time in the future this season and it might value them.”

Jamie: “There’s areas of the Liverpool squad which want strengthening, however I like the actual fact they do not panic. I actually admire that. After I see the state of affairs at Chelsea, I would by no means need them to be like that.”

Fifth and sixth

Jamie Carragher: Man Utd and Aston Villa
Gary Neville: Liverpool and Tottenham

Jamie: “Manchester United have made some massive errors prior to now. They’re shopping for youthful gamers now, however let’s not make out that is revolutionary. Sir Matt Busby was doing this within the ’60s! It isn’t one thing particular they need to be lauded for. I feel they’re going to compete however miss out. I feel Tottenham have the sting over them.”

Gary: “I feel Liverpool have a greater workforce than Manchester United, much better forwards. However I actually do query whether or not that Liverpool midfield can arise over the season. I feel Manchester United have gotten extra depth in midfield.”

European contender

Jamie Carragher: West Ham
Gary Neville: Newcastle

Jamie: “It is a totally different model of soccer [at West Ham], perhaps not utterly totally different. Nevertheless it’ll be about making an attempt to get on the ball extra, their recruitment this summer time has been superb. They gained a European trophy underneath David Moyes, so they have been there or thereabouts.”

Gary: “I simply really feel generally that the Champions League will take its toll on Aston Villa.”

Jamie: “Newcastle have to get a centre-back over the road, I like them and Eddie Howe and he’d be the following England boss if it was my selection. I feel they’re going to simply miss out, as they did this yr.”

Relegated

Jamie Carragher: Southampton, Leicester and Nottingham Forest
Gary Neville: Southampton, Ipswich and Leicester

Jamie: “I do not need to see the three promoted groups go down, it isn’t good for the Championship or the Premier League. Nottingham Forest have been shut each season, and ultimately the trapdoor opens.”

Gary: “I hope Jamie is correct and Ipswich or one of many golf equipment keep up however I’m not certain. I hope I’m mistaken.”

Jamie: “I suppose Ipswich are this season’s Luton, they have been away for thus lengthy. It would be very exhausting to decrease their enthusiasm, however you would see that within the first half with Leicester. It was nothing new for them. The vitality will not be there each week at Portman Street, but when they go 5 – 6 video games with out a win I do not suppose it will have an effect on them an excessive amount of. I feel they could do sufficient.”

Prime scorer

Jamie Carragher: Erling Haaland
Gary Neville: Erling Haaland

Impression signing

Jamie Carragher: Pedro Neto
Gary Neville: Dominic Solanke

Jamie: “I selected Pedro Neto as a result of I feel however for accidents he might play for the perfect groups on the earth. I’ve watched him for Wolves and thought I would love Liverpool to signal him.

“The one fear is that he is finest on the correct, slicing in on his left, however that is the place Cole Palmer likes to play. I like to observe him, and I really get down a bit after I hear he is injured once more. I would like to see him keep match, he is probably the greatest gamers within the Premier League when he’s.”

Participant to observe

Jamie Carragher: Yankuba Minteh
Gary Neville: Jurrien Timber

Jamie: “I learn lots about Minteh over the summer time about him coming again to Newcastle, however after I have a look at what they have there, [Miguel] Almiron and [Jacob] Murphy, that lad, what he did [for Brighton] in opposition to Everton, that is one Newcastle are going to rue letting go. He seems to be like the actual deal.”

Gary: “I used to be trying ahead to Timber coming to Arsenal and including defensive stability and so they did that with out him. He appears like a brand new addition and I’m trying ahead to seeing how he matches in.”

Supervisor to observe

Jamie Carragher: Arne Slot
Gary Neville: Erik ten Hag, Arne Slot and Enzo Maresca

Jamie: “I do not suppose Liverpool supporters predict the world within the first season. They realise the state of affairs he [Slot] is coming into, I feel Liverpool replicating what they did final season could be sufficient.

“I used to be actually impressed with a few issues from the weekend. I used to be impressed with how decisive he was at half-time, he recognized an issue and handled it.

“After I was watching Liverpool play out from the again, we have all performed in these video games on a dry pitch, the opposition are onto you.

“I favored what he stated the place he stated you need not hold enjoying brief passes in these conditions, you may go a bit longer. He is the entire reverse of Klopp, the group have been chanting his identify on the finish and he shied away from it.”

Gary: “I can’t separate them as a result of I feel there’s a story with all three. It’s excessive stakes for all of them in several methods. Lots of people thought Erik ten Hag was gone however he’s nonetheless there, renewed hope, squad stronger, feeling higher however now he must ship.

“Slot taking on from Klopp and the way that’s going to go, one of many best managers ever within the Premier League and entering into these footwear has not gone properly earlier than when that has occurred so there are eyes on him.

“Maresca could be very younger in his teaching profession having to deal with the noise at Chelsea, the quantity of gamers, the stability of the workforce, the youth of the squad, it’s a massive job.”
