So far, they make Arsenal the most likely team to win PL title next season. I know they're the strongest team this season, but I'm not convinced they'll win the title again next season. What about you? do you believe Arsenal will win the title next season?

Well, Arsenal might win the title next season. The common saying concerning Arteta against Pep is Arteta can’t win the premier league when Pep is in charge, besides we’ve seen Arteta try to defeat Pep several times in terms of winning the premier league and so far since when Arteta starting coaching Arsenal winning the premier league was a difficult tax no doubt. This time not only did Arteta won the premier league trophy but, also managed to stay at the top for a very long time, I’m glad Arsenal won the trophy during Pep management so it’s no longer a new thing if they win the trophy again next season obviously who’s available to challenge? Although nothing is guarantee but, there’s always a joy attached to winning no doubt, all through my days watching sports mostly football match it’s a norm seeing previous champions struggle to retain the title back and this line keeps going for example PSG or Manchester City is the perfect example for this.

There is one good reason I like football fans behaviour over every other set of people and this behaviour in question is believing in what they think about there team.
Arsenal fans believed that because they did it last season they can also  do it this season .
Yes Arsenal had an excellent display last season but telling me they can  become the champions of England next season is what i cannot accept because there victory last season was as a result of Manchester City's inconsistent performance and that of other teams in the Premier league.  
As at the second quarter of last seasons tournament, Arsenal lost it all and was at the point of losing it all before Manchester City gave them the golden opportunity to go which i am sure can never repeat itself next season

Your perspective is very wrong, firstly Manchester City didn’t hand over an easy opportunity to Arsenal as you may call golden opportunity rather Arsenal worked hard for it. If I’m not mistaking every club was not in their best performance so it’s more easier for any club to grab the opportunity right? So why did you think any other club never won the premier league trophy aside Arsenal, basically it’s not easy.
Arsenal might win the trophy next season, this is my personal prediction likewise anyone can make some other prediction but, certainly at the moment Arsenal has high chance of winning the title next season compared to other club.

At Chelsea, it's going to be not easy for him because Todd Boehly also has too many problems after having control of Chelsea, too many coaches already gone without having good results. Now how can he be done? It's also interesting because I am sure if he had Liverpool, this could be much better for both.

Let's wait and see because even with this tough challenge, I'm pretty sure Xabi can still make a change in Chelsea because they actually have talented players, it's just that there is no suitable coach who can unite these players. Xabi has the experience of coaching young players at Leverkusen and building his playing identity there, at Chelsea he will do the same, but I will still give him time, after all the challenge is not only bringing the players together but also about the premier league which is much more competitive with tough opponents.

That's the problem with Chelsea team, the one where the sign talents lacking experience, and the biggest issue with the Chelsea team is this interference of the top brass on the management of the team, I just hope Chelsea signs Xabi Alonso as a manager not just someone they want to make decisions for and Chelsea should try and make one good novelty transfer window signing to start off the season strong. All I know is they would start off poorly but get better over time

What we need to achieve right now is the fact that Premier league is growing bigger and bigger the more money they get from these tv deals. And that is going to make the gap between them and other teams even bigger.

There is a point to be made about how premier league winner may make more money than UCL winner. For example this year Arsenal made more money than PSG at rewards because only difference PSG has is that they won the finals, but the difference at ligue 1 winner and EPL winner was so huge that, Arsenal overall made more money.

Premier League organizers are working hard on their marketing, and they are also having enough sources to make money. Even French Ligue 1 can also do the same, but their organizers are not creative enough to attract big companies and investors.

This is a big difference, which is going to be widening in the coming years as well. UEFA is surely having more sources and approaches, but the Premier League is doing a good job, and they are, without a doubt, currently one of the best leagues in the soccer world. Even in the coming few years, no league is going to challenge them regarding their competitiveness, quality, and global presence.

If Arsenal continue with same pattern they used last season, they might be nowhere close to winning the title next season just as it happened to Liverpool. If Arsenal must win the Premier league back-to-back they must change pattern this season, play more attacks than defend then they will contend the title again. I agree that Arsenal was unstoppable last season but luck was also on them because there were several times they messed up but Manchester City also messed up along which helped Arsenal to win the league title. Am not surprised that the bookies still tip Arsenal to win the league again based on the odds they have produced for each teams because that's always how their judgements are every season. They basically think that the previous league winners will win it again.

I don't think Arteta will likely use the same pattern he used this season next season, and that is the reason why they are aiming to sign some players now to strengthen the team again. It is not the kind of pattern Arteta has been using over the previous seasons; it is only this season that he has fully adopted a more defensive approach.I also know that the team suffered because of it, and it affected the performances of some key players, especially the wingers. They are not performing up to expectations. Therefore, I believe that Arteta will try every possible way to change the pattern. It may still be a little defensive, but I don't think it will focus mainly on defensive tactics.

So I expect good performances from Arsenal again next season. They are motivated now, having been able to win the Premier League. The players will have more confidence and will continue to believe that they can win it again next season.However, I will not say too much now because next season has not started yet. But judging by the current squad, Arsenal still have the upper hand in winning the league again next season.

I think Xabi Alonso wouldn't have agreed to come to Chelsea if they don't give him some aspects of control or say in the club, especially during transfer.

The club management are low key in a tight spot and we can see that with how we the fans are reacting with their behaviours lately since it's tiring already and we can't be patient anymore with theolir poor management decisions.

Well to be fair Arsenal won while Pep was still in charge, so that curse was already broken. But now Pep is leaving too, and they are still talking to Maresca and not even got that done yet, so there is a chance that we could see them not even getting him, which would be a very different situation.

This is why I feel like the best case we have right now, would be to make sure we deal with stuff that are concrete, and not just rumours, when Maresca deal gets done ,we can say something about it after it's done. Showing, there aren't that many teams that can force Arsenal. Liverpool sucked, United was terrible and Carrick will have hard time, not sure if there are any teams that can be considered better than Arsenal right now.

 I think Chelsea has the youngest team right now, which we all know that is not their culture. I believe they have some good player,  but they also have to add some experience players to improve the team, 

Yes it happens to be that in Chelsea's full team there is not player Older that age 30, even as it may sound fair, experienced players that has been in football for years will make the full team more balanced,
Nevertheless Chelsea can still work with their present team if they have a good coach so the lack of experienced players isn't a solid excuse for their present performance a good coach and and leaders of the team are.

If Chelsea continues next season with the same squad, it will turn into another disaster for the club, the current players are not good for the club, they cannot withstand other clubs and the new signings to the club, Chelsea has to sign more players, far better players to fill up every position.

Reece James is standing as one of the oldest and experienced player for the club, after the departure of Thiago Silva, the backline has been awful, new signings are what Chelsea needs in order to compete next season.

Saying  that Chelsea has got good players is very true, actually  with the players Chelsea has got currently, if they have a complementary good coach that manages them well, the much  they can achieve in a season is such  that is almost unbelievable, some few seasons back, we saw how well this same team were performing, if Xabi turns out a good coach for them, a lot can be achieved within the shortest time.

[Mayor of ogba]

Xabi Alonso may not have performed very well in Real Madrid but I believe he will do very well in Chelsea, one of the reason why he didn't do well in Real Madrid was because he was unable to have control over the dressing home because of the big stars in Real Madrid but that won't happen in Chelsea i believe his going to have total control of Chelsea dressing home and do well in Chelsea and again the Chelsea players should bring out their mind to work with him too.

Even though Xabi Alonso will have full control or total control of Chelsea dressing room that's not even enough reason for you to believe Xabi Alonso will do well in Chelsea as other unseen factors could influence him to perform poorly in Chelsea, so it's better for you not to have much expectations from Xabi Alonso so that you won't be disappointed if he couldn't live up to your expectations.

[Dzwaafu11]

Resigning because there was no support from Perez would be tantamount to subtly firing him. But the point is that it's an agreement between the two parties. Now let bygones be bygones and Xabi Alonso will prove his worth at Chelsea, which will be quite a challenge at the start of this season for him because there is quite a lot that needs to be improved from Chelsea.

Yes, it will be quite challenging for Xabi to improve Chelsea's condition because their current position is at a low point, and he must improve the mentality of the players to be motivated again to compete.. also he needs to bring in players who fit the game strategy he wants to play and get rid of players who don't fit his game. but it is still fortunate that their position next season only focuses on domestic competitions, so Xabi should be able to focus more on improving the team's performance without being burdened with more competitions.

Xabi Alonso is going to make sure everything go as he want, Alonso always deliver the expected result. Which means even his new team he will still make sure everything go well in the team. 

By next season Alonso is going to improve chelsea more than what we are even thinking,  Alonso does'nt rush in doing his stuffs  lets wait and see what Xabi Alonso will do.

Most of the teams that will be contesting with Arsenal for the Premier league just signed a new coach, and we don’t really know their performance will be. If those coaches didn’t perform so well, then Arsenal might be winning the premier league again next season, but I agree with you that Arsenal will have to change their playing pattern, whenever Arteta is playing against Top teams, he is always scared, and I feel that’s why he do play defensive game in those matches. I don’t really like Arteta pattern of play, and the pattern does affect him in some matches.

because Arteta's strategy implemented in the Arsenal team must be changed to change the direction of the game so that it cannot be read by other teams in the Premier League, tactical changes need to be made to trick the opponent to confuse them, but the victory in the Premier League now Arsenal appears more confident and they have prepared and performed for next season

Most of these new managers are not new to the premier league they already have the experience of the league so there is a chance we will even have more league competitors next year than this season, a new manager can even win the league because we saw Arne Slot got to do that in his first season, even if many say he was lucky and was actually riding on Jurgen Klopp’s team. He still did it and we could see the first season wonder replicate of Slot if possible, maybe it will be Maresca who has good squad that will pull this up.

Even though the pattern of Play by Arteta is not that favored by lots of football fans I don’t actually blame the man for actually playing this way because he had finished as runner up for three occasions and all pointed to him not being capable of winning trophies for the club and he just had to look for a means to win something for the club and I think this tactics took him this far

When a new Coach steps into a club you cannot help but have high expectations especially if the team has been performing poorly for a long time. Chelsea had a rough season and now people are expecting Xabi to fix the club, it might not really be easy for him to do but he is going the best that he can do.

Next season, Arsenal won't need to be more dominant defensively if their defense is already very organized and strong. Arsenal's emphasis next season should be on attacking and confusing opponents to make it easier to launch counterattacks. This means Arsenal must change their current approach because next season's competition in the Premier League will be much tougher, as will the Champions League, which is never easy for any team.

I kind of understand those odds, and I guess the main reason Arsenal are considered as the favorite team is mainly one: they didn't change the manager. We know Arteta did great things, he knows the team and the team knows him. Manchester City without Guardiola? Who knows. Liverpool with a new manager? Same thing.

[ITExpert]

Xabi Alonso has this one chance to rebuild his reputation and to prove to the world that he is capable of leading any club to succeed in any leagues. Chelsea is a good opportunity for xabi Alonso to wipe off dust that has done dirt to jis coaching career. It is important he doesn't fail at Chelsea because the reason he was signed to manage them was because they wanted changes in their performance so if he fuck this opportunity,he may never be sign by big clubs again. Chelsea signed him to win trophy for them just as he did at Bayer leverkusen and I'm optimistic he will succeed in Chelsea.

Xabi Alonso is a good and capable coach and he really has skills to make any team better and capable of achieving the certain things. But from some time he is facing a little bit of bad reputation due to his not good performance in a specific team. But now he is appointed as the new manager of chelsea and it is really a great chance for him to do his best because this can be a major turn in his career to swipe out all the bad reputation from his profile. Because Chelsea team has good players and I think they just need a good manager who has capabilities to make them able to stand in between the top teams. And it is clear that if xabi Alonso will manage to make the team best and strong it will be a new turning point in his career as the best and reliable coach

Your perspective is very wrong, firstly Manchester City didn’t hand over an easy opportunity to Arsenal as you may call golden opportunity rather Arsenal worked hard for it. If I’m not mistaking every club was not in their best performance so it’s more easier for any club to grab the opportunity right? So why did you think any other club never won the premier league trophy aside Arsenal, basically it’s not easy.

Two truths can coexist. Any team that wins the Premier League worked hard for it, but that doesn't mean it's a lie if a person says Arsenal won it because of the poor form of Manchester City.
The fact that the league winner was decided two games from the end of the season is further proof of this. Manchester City were in a very horrible form at one point this season. They just kept losing and drawing. This was the perfect opportunity for Arsenal to run away with the league, but somehow they still allowed themselves to be level on points with Manchester City. If City were in a good form, they would have won the league, but because they were struggling, they dropped points again.

This doesn't mean that Arsenal did not work hard, or that they didn't deserve the league; it simply means that they should be happy Pep and Manchester City did not pick their usual form. The kind of form that denied Liverpool the league, even after losing one match, or the form that denied Liverpool the league, even after getting 99 and 97 points.

I believe Arsenal can still win the league, but it won't be easy for them. With Pep gone, the league is not open. Other teams will also strengthen their teama nd tey will now all compete. Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal are all contenders. Somehow, I don't rate Chelsea that much, because I don't see their players as players that are ready, but with the Xabi Alonso, a part of me believes they can be competitive again.
