The highly anticipated Premier League is back tonight as Arsenal opens the 2021/22 season with a trip to Brentford.

The Premier league is expected to live up to its billing again this year where fireworks will be expected from two teams that play attractive football opening the season when Brentford host Arsenal on Friday night at the recently opened Brentford Community Stadium.

Arsenal might not have had a successful pre-season, but the Gunners can turn on the screw and get maximum points on the night to newly promoted Brentford. Anything other than a win will probably put more dent in Arsenal’s fragile confidence going into this match.

That aside, I will be predicting the top 6, the three teams that might be relegated, and the winner of the top scorer prize and I will be starting my predictions from the later.

Who will win the golden ball in Premier League 2021/22 season?
The Premier League boasts some prolific goalscorer, but Harry Kane went away hast season’s golden booth prize. The English captain has proven his mettle on many occasions.

However, the speculations surrounding his future could hamper his goalscoring contribution. Being in the top ten all-time goal scorers of the Premier League, it’s easy to pick Harry Kane as the likely winner again. What could affect that is his Premier League future with Spurs. He has told the club that he wants to leave.

Kane is likely to be followed closely by Mohammed Salah of Liverpool and Chelsea’s returnee Romelu Lukaku. If the Lanky Belgian keep his goalscoring form intact as evident from his last two seasons in the Italian Serie A. Then he his likely to be a hot contender for the golden boot, considering that he is no stranger to the Premier League.

It obviously won’t be a surprise to see Lukaku in the mix if he stays fit.

Who will make the top six in the Premier League 2021/22 seasons?
The traditional top six teams in the league have been; Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Tottenham for many years until recently.

With the likes of Leicester City and West Ham now regularly mixing it up with the big boys. It is expected to be another fierce battle. Teams like Wolves, Brighton, and Leeds United are not even talking much about their signings but could upset many top teams in the coming season. This is why there are likely to be goals galore Manchester United host Leeds United at the early kick off tomorrow.

The return of Lukaku does mean that Chelsea have put themselves in contention for the Premier League trophy. Having such a winner and goal scorer in their squad is a definitely a bonus.

The missing puzzle for Manchester City could be the focal striker. That’s why Pep Guardiola wants Harry Kane. It is now unsure if Daniel Levy will want to do a deal with a fellow Premier League rival and he also known to be a shrewd negotiator. He will want to get every penny for the English striker. But as it stands, Kane will still be wearing the colours of Tottenham ahead of their opener against the Premier League champions.

Top four conversations have now become the top seven talks
The top four conversation has now changed to the top six in the Premier League. However, with the UEFA Conference League, I will predict the top seven as the 7th place team can be guaranteed European action depending on the winner of the Europa League and Carabao Cup.

Based on the team’s preparation for this season see my prediction below:

1. Chelsea FC

2. Manchester City

3. Manchester United

4. Liverpool

5. Arsenal FC

6. Leicester City

7. Tottenham Hotspurs
