A new campaign of Premier League football has arrived. After a long-awaited return, fans are set to pack inside stadiums to full capacity for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic. To little surprise to many on the Premier League betting market, Manchester City secured their third title under Pep Guardiola and brace themselves for another intense campaign if they are to throw off Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool and newly crowned European Champions Chelsea. Plenty of clubs have been active in the transfer market, with Manchester United splashing the cash on big money deals for Jadon Sancho and Raphaël Varane, whilst the newly promoted sides have moved quietly but could still be in with a chance of causing some upsets.

The opening day brings eternal optimism, well at least until your team concede first! The slate is wiped clean and the weeks of preparation and the ongoing season can be decided by those first integral minutes. Here is how we think each game will go.

Well wedged in the soft underbelly of the ranking, Brentford today occupies 11th place in the Premier League with 7 points behind the last European folding seat and 11 ahead of the red zone. On the last day, Bryan Mbeumo's teammates took advantage of a trip to bottom side Southampton to win by a wide margin 0-5 . They thus put an end to a bad dynamic of 4 matches without a victory in the championship, 1 draw and 3 defeats. Last weekend, Brentford hosted Plymouth in the upcoming FA Cup. Triple reigning English champions, Manchester City are not at the expected level this season and are preparing to lose their crown. Worse, the Skyblues will have to work hard to participate in the next Champions League.

They are currently 6th in the Premier League and have 2 points out of the Big 4. Pep Guardiola's men went through a crisis by winning only one league match between the beginning of November and the end of December, for 2 draws and 6 defeats. They have found some color recently with successes against Leicester 0-2 and West Ham 4-1 before hosting Salford last weekend in the upcoming FA Cup. Only 22nd in the Champions League, Manchester City will have to work hard to reach the next phase.

Very disappointing during the previous two years, Chelsea are doing much better under the orders of Enzo Maresca this season. Having dropped out of the title race, the London team is on the other hand in the race to qualify for the next Champions League. 4th in the Premier League with a head start on 5th place, the Blues have unfortunately let precious points slip away recently, as evidenced by their current series of 4 games without a win. Beaten by Fulham 1-2 and Ipswich 2-0, they otherwise drew with Everton 0-0 and Crystal Palace on the final day 1-1 . Last weekend, Chelsea hosted Morecambe in the upcoming FA Cup. Bournemouth is exceeding expectations this season and today occupies 7th place in the Premier League with only 3 points behind their opponent of the day.

Obtaining a European qualification would be a remarkable achievement. Full of confidence these days, the Cherries have not lost any of their last 8 league matches 5 wins and 3 draws. After sharing points with Crystal Palace 0-0 and Fulham 2-2, they responded by dominating Everton on the final day 1-0 . Last weekend, Bournemouth hosted West Bromwich in the upcoming FA Cup.

Considered a credible contender for the European folding seats this season, West Ham does not meet expectations at all. Indeed, the Hammers are only 14th in the Premier League with 23 points taken in 20 games. Despite a quality workforce, they cannot find the right fuel. After having gone 4 games without a setback, 2 wins and 2 draws, West Ham suffered the law of Liverpool 0-5 and Manchester City 4-1 during the last two days. This latest setback precipitated the departure of coach Julen Lopetegui. Now under the leadership of Graham Potter, West Ham traveled to Aston Villa in the FA Cup last Friday.

Fulham is now 9th in the Premier League, 4 points behind 6th place. Difficult to maneuver, the Cottagers have not lost any of their last 8 championship matches, 2 wins and 6 draws. On the other hand, they sometimes let precious points slip away. After creating a surprise by winning in Chelsea's lair on Boxing Day 1-2, Fulham was held to a draw at home by Bournemouth 2-2 and relegated Ipswich on the last day 2-2 .

Close to the title in the previous two years, Arsenal should still miss their chance this season. Mikel Arteta's men now occupy 2nd place in the Premier League, one game more and 6 points behind leader Liverpool. Difficult to beat, they lost their last league match at the beginning of November. After winning in turn against Crystal Palace 1-5, Ipswich 1-0 and Brentford 1-3, the Gunners were held back at Brighton on the last day 1-1. Subsequently, they lost their League semi-final first leg against Newcastle this week 0-2 at home before hosting Manchester United last weekend in the upcoming FA Cup. 3rd in the Champions League, Arsenal hopes to reach the round of 16 directly. Not at the expected level this season, Tottenham are only 12th in the Premier League with 24 points taken in 20 games.

Engaged in the fight not to go down, Everton is currently 16th in the Premier League and is only a small point ahead of the first relegation place. The Liverpool-based club has been moving slowly for several weeks now. Indeed, the Toffees have only won one of their last 11 league matches, for 6 draws and 4 defeats. They remain on the back of losses suffered against Nottingham Forest 0-2 and Bournemouth on the last day 1-0. This latest setback led to the dismissal of coach Sean Dyche. Last Thursday Everton hosted Peterborough in the upcoming FA Cup.

Now considered a solid candidate for European places, Aston Villa today occupies 8th place in the Premier League with 4 units of spending on the Big 4. The Birmingham-based team displays unfortunately a lot of irregularity for some time. Thus, the Villans have conceded 2 losses in the last 5 days, for 2 victories and 1 draw.

Eager to secure European qualification this season, Newcastle are currently 5th in the Premier League and are only a small point behind 4th place. The Magpies have long shown irregularity but seem to have found the right formula in recent weeks, which has allowed them to move up the rankings. Indeed, they have won their last 5 league matches played against Leicester 4-0, Ipswich 0-4, Aston Villa 3-0, Manchester United 0-2 and Tottenham 1-2. Subsequently, Newcastle won on Arsenal's lawn in the semi-final first leg of the League Cup 0-2 before hosting Bromley in the FA Cup last weekend. Little to their advantage this season, Wolverhampton currently occupies Today 17th place in the Premier League with the same number of points on the first relegation.

The change of coach that occurred in mid-December made it possible to leave the red zone. Indeed, Vitor Pereira's men showed a surge by scoring two victories against Leicester 0-3 and Manchester United 2-0 before taking a point at Tottenham 2-2. Unfortunately, they fell again against Nottingham Forest last Monday 0-3. Last weekend, Wolverhampton traveled to Bristol City in the upcoming FA Cup.

Back in the elite this season, Ipswich are currently 18th in the Premier League and have the same number of points as the first non-relegation team.

After creating a surprise by taking the scalp of Chelsea 2-0, they took a point at Fulham on the last day 2-2. Last weekend, Ipswich hosted Bristol Rovers in the upcoming FA Cup.

Despite a quality squad and significant investments, Manchester United is not meeting expectations this season. Only 13th in the Premier League with 11 points behind 6th place, the Red Devils should have difficulty securing a European folding seat. Not really any more convincing since the arrival on the bench of Ruben Amorim, they have not won any of their last 4 championship matches. After losing to Bournemouth 0-3, Wolverhampton 2-0 and Newcastle 0-2, Bruno Fernandes' teammates showed a reaction by taking a point at leader Liverpool on the last day 2-2. Last weekend, they traveled to Arsenal in the upcoming FA Cup. 7th in the Europa League, Manchester United hopes to qualify directly for the round of 16.

The return to the elite is proving very difficult for Southampton who quite simply occupy the last place in the Premier League with only 6 points taken in 20 matches . The promoted player is thus in a very unfavorable balance to maintain 10 units of disbursement on the first non-relegable. Without a solution, the Saints are currently on a streak of 10 games without a win, 2 draws and 8 defeats. After taking a point at Fulham 0-0, they lost to West Ham 0-1, Crystal Palace 2-1 and Brentford 0-5. Last weekend, Southampton hosted Swansea in the upcoming FA Cup.
