Football pundits Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher have predicted that Manchester City will win the Premier League for the fourth time in a row next season.
Neville and Carragher don’t see any team surpassing them in the 2023–24 Premier League season.
Pep Guardiola’s side were exceptional last season, becoming the second Premier League team to win the treble in history. However, the Blues of Manchester almost had the Premier League taken away from them by Arsenal.
The two football pundits also predicted how their former teams would perform next season. Manchester United have spent over £100 million on Mason Mount and Andre Onana.
They are on the verge of signing Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund for a fee in the region of £85 million. The club had already sent a bid to Fiorentina for Sofyan Amrabat.
However, Neville believes that the Glazers need to sell the club before they become Bonifade title contenders ahead of next Season. The England right back also predicted that contesting for the Premier League title would depend on the club’s budget.
Neville said, “Under the owners the club has had, I think they’ll probably still finish in the top four, but I don’t think they’ll improve on it.”
“If they got new owners and had £250 million or £300 million to spend, they’d have a chance of going up to second. I do think they’ve got a chance of taking that spot off Arsenal; that’s up for grabs, but they’d have to spend well.”
Carragher, on the other hand, believes Manchester United are going to have a positive 2023–24 season under Erik Ten Hag.
However, on his former team, Liverpool, he believes they are the team to watch but doesn’t think they are capable enough to rival Manchester City for the Premier League title.
Carragher said ”I think Liverpool will be in the top four. They signed Alexis Mac Allister early on. They were awful last season and were still in with a shout of the top four with two or three games to go, which I couldn’t believe, considering how poor they’d been in the middle of the season.
“It’s whether they can get back to the level they’ve been at: it’s really difficult to have the season they’ve just had, then add 25 or 30 points to get to where they were before. I’m not sure they can make that jump.”
2023-2024 Premier League: Who Can Challenge Manchester City For The Title?
Jurgen Klopp of Liverpool may had found the reason why his team didn’t compete with Manchester City for the Premier League title.
Liverpool were stuck with injury crises throughout the 2022-23 season, but they remain the only team capable of stopping Manchester City for the title.
Due to the sale of Henderson and Fabinho to the Middle East, Liverpool are looking forward to signing a couple of defenders and midfielders before the end of the transfer window.
