This 2020-2021 season will be the toughest season so far in premier league history with the top clubs having the top coaches in world football. Manchester City have Pep Guardiola, Liverpool have UCL winning coach Jürgen Klopp, Everton have Carlo Ancelotti, Arsenal have Mikel Arteta who has won two trophies already in 2020. Manchester united have Solskjaer who is hoping to win something with his star-studded squad, Chelsea have Frank Lampard, Leicester have former Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers, with newcomers boasting of 2019 FIFA fair play award winner Marco Bielsa.

The stage is set for the managers to steer their team to success. There are atleast 6 solid teams vying for the top four position. Every manager want to prove a point and see their team to a better position.

This post will predict how the top four will look like at the end of game week 38.

Manchester united first

Manchester united last won the league 7 years ago in 2012-13 season under Alex Ferguson and I think they are ripe for it again. They currently have the most complete squad in the league and a coach that’s ready to prove a point. Dean Henderson is back from Sheffield meaning De Gea must be at his best to continue as the first choice. They are one of the strongest in the midfield position with adequate quality players in every midfield department. Donny Van de Beek signing is a boost to an already solid midfield. He will provide energy to the midfield and support Pogba there with Fred, Mctomminay, and Matic likely to fight for first team opportunities. That’s a healthy competition there.

The emergence of Greenwood on the right has relegated Daniel James to the bench. The attack line in the forthcoming season will be Rashford, Martial, and Greenwood which will be devastating considering their mobility. The trio scored 44 goals in the 2019-20 premier league season with 50 plus goals expected from them this season.

The defense is their only weakness especially in the center back position. The first choice Central defenders is Maguire and Lindelof with Bailly the other option. Rojo is not in Solskjaer plan and Smalling us to be sold to Roma. It is likely Solskjaer signs another center back to bolster the defense line.

They have no problem in the full back position with Bissaka proving solid and Luke Shaw putting his injuries in the past. Daniel James may end up turning to a full back just to get playing chances similar to what Alex Ferguson did with Antonio Valencia. It’s a bright season for Manchester united who is still in pursuit of Jadon Sancho. I see them winning the 2020-21 Premier League.

Chelsea second

Chelsea in second position at the end of the 2020-21 season will be a good result for Frank Lampard. Chelsea have been splashing the cash and have already signed Havertz, Chilwell, Ziyech, Timo Werner, and Thiago Silva. They don’t look like stopping yet with talks of another keeper not yet concluded.

They have signed top players at their peak but Chelsea problem this season will be their style of playing. Chelsea is noted for putting defense first but that changed under Sarri who brought Sarriball. The Italian changed their style of play and that affected Chelsea last season. They created chances and scored loads of goals but conceded on almost every shot on target. Many blamed Kepa for the goals conceded but the truth lies in the midfield and defense. Rudiger and Zouma pairing won’t work, they are both erratic and need someone calm like Fikayo Tomori. The Anglo-Nigerian shines in the first half of the season where Chelsea racked up cleansheets but injury problem cost him first team opportunities. Azpilicueta is out of sorts and lacks the leadership spirit to Marshall the backline. Thiago Silva acquisition looks like a success on paper but the question is how many matches will he play? Chelsea in 2020-21 season will be like Serie A Atalanta. They will score goals and concede a lot.

The midfield relies on only Kante as the defensive midfielder which shouldn’t be so. The French man has been nursing an injury that may keep him yet again for some key matches this coming season.

Chelsea need to sign someone to help Kante if they want to win the league. It’s not all about Kepa but the struggling defense and defensively porous midfield.

Second position is the best they can achieve in the 2020-21 season.
