The current odds for the league title:

- Arsenal: 2.50
- Manchester City: 3.75
- Liverpool: 6.00

These are top 3 contenders for bookmakers now. Manchester United follow with 7.00 by the way. After a big improvement they are given a much higher chance than before. Do you find the odds reasonable?

If Arsenal happen to wrap up the deals for Bruno Guimaraes, Rogers from Aston Villa and the winger from Club Brugge, they'll most definitely emerge Champions of the English premier league.

I don't see Manchester City winning, I even expect them to get punished with that 115 charges.

Liverpool will have to give A-I ( Andoni Iraola ) some time, he may not have a quick start.

Arsenal continue to be the talk of the town because of the previous season performance they made that nailed it or to the premier League champions, although signing up for Bruno will definitely cause a drastic change and also give them the opportunity to achieve their targets this season and they will definitely see the difference beyond the previous performance they have been having.

Manchester City has a lot to do and this is why they have not been on the trend for some time because there is a need for strategic repositioning in the club and they also have to consider some of their pattern that may not be productive any longer and adjust them for better performance in this new season, they can't always be the lead, this is why overtaking is always allowed for anything that shows competency in their play.

We were really lucky that Arsenal were unable to win the Champions League, it wouldn't have been a funny experience, like they will disturb us for the whole season and wouldn't even have time to be serious again for next season. I like the fact that they won one and lose one, it would motivate them not to relentless and fight for another one as we start another season but so far I have not seen them buy any player, they have not made any move yet.

Manchester City are not doing much yet, I don't know why yet but they should be able to have some lead on good attacking midfielder. If they can just get their hands on one attacking midfielder that will make Haaland his priorities in all the game like Kevin De Bruyne did, I'm very sure they are going to hold the next Premier League trophy for their hands for another 3 seasons again, they can do it if they make it work, it's what Maresca can do to be honest.

One thing I like about Manchester City is that they don’t give up and no matter how bad they are they always find a way to win a trophy, last season they did not have a good performance from the beginning of the season and that is the reason why they did not win the league, we can see how they have Arsenal a tough season at the end and make some Arsenal fans think they have already bottled the league, i don’t know if they will still have that spirit in them since Pep Guardiola have decided to leave the club.

Arsenal vs Manchester City will open the league with Community shield and that game is going to be tough, Manchester City can win the game because they have a good squad, Manchester City did not lack any position at this point, they have a good attacking midfielder like Foden and Chercki, these players are very good and with Enzo Maresca as their coach next season they will perform well.

Pep Guardiola is one man that would be pushing for such moves it he was to be their manager but now that he had left the club things will no longer be like before in terms of signing if players. The world cup is still on going and the new City manager may be eyeing some players but getting a player that will be giving Haaland those good passes may not be possible this time because other clubs are also in the market looking for such midfielders. Winning the league for 3 straight times will not be possible for any team this time because other teams have woken up and they will take up the challenge.

Manchester United under Carrick is doing great, before the season end Carrick try and change people thinking towards Manchester United, and with the sign he shows  last season Carrick is a promising manager and I believe he will deliver a good result. Carrick is a talented  manager and he already know what to do, to make Manchester United a better team by next season  Manchester United will be a threat to many big club in the Premier league.

I agree with you on that, Manchester United are going to be a threat to a lot of big clubs next season and that is a fact, under the management of carrick they are doing absolutely well and this is almost like the way they were in their prime. Next season won't be a bad one for Manchester United because we got to see a little bit of what we should be expecting. If carrick can make further improvements they are going to be unstoppable in the coming season.

Well so it seems, so it seems. But also let not forget that the premier league is a very dynamic league and most teams might take Manchester United seriously this season and that will make it difficult for Manchester United to get wins. Last season before Carrick took charge a lot of teams don’t see them as a treat and even what Carrick took over they still see them that same way, but next season it will be different.

If Manchester United have a decent transfer window for sure they will cause problems in the premier league, but so far I’m yet to be impressed by their activities in the transfer window. One thing is certain right now, Manchester United are considered to be a title challenger for next season premier league.

Pep Guardiola is one man that would be pushing for such moves it he was to be their manager but now that he had left the club things will no longer be like before in terms of signing if players. The world cup is still on going and the new City manager may be eyeing some players but getting a player that will be giving Haaland those good passes may not be possible this time because other clubs are also in the market looking for such midfielders. Winning the league for 3 straight times will not be possible for any team this time because other teams have woken up and they will take up the challenge.

Manchester City won their first Premier League titles before Pep Guardiola came but only Pep Guardiola was able to build up very strong Manchester City which dominated Premier League in ten latest seasons. They are a truly fearful competitor against other clubs in Premier League with Pep Guardiola management. They also won a first UEFA Champions League title with Pep, two final matches, one trophy.

With all great things done by Pep for their club in 10 years, his departure last season will truly put the club under a risky transition. It is especially more sensitive and risky when Arteta and Arsenal already became stronger and they're competitive enough for winning Premier League title last season. It will be chance for Arsenal to win more titles when Manchester City will need one to two seasons at least for winning a league title again.

[JeffBrad12]

The current odds for the league title:

- Arsenal: 2.50
- Manchester City: 3.75
- Liverpool: 6.00

For now Carrick absolutely deserves all the attention on himself... In the end, Manchester United were having really dark days before he came.

They saw the bottom with Amorim and now thanks to Carrick they have resurfaced! I hope they move on like this in the new season as well. 

MU feels underprice here. I'd rather see them to be priced same as Liverpool. They have a well-built team. They also still use the same coach. They also made Arsenal, which was champion of last season struggled against them. So they can to better with more preparation for the upcoming season.
That's why they should be priced between 5.00 - 6.00.

It is true that Manchester City have dominated the Premier League for the past 10 years under Pep Guardiola, but from the upcoming season we can see that the team has a new manager. It is surprising that Manchester City have not yet started to balance the team for the upcoming season, but we think that the new manager of Manchester can add something to their team after the FIFA World Cup as he may be observing the performance of the players in this World Cup. Honestly, the reliable player of this team, Erling Haaland, is in great form now, so the management and manager of Manchester City should focus on buying more players to become a mature team for the upcoming Premier League season.

Carrick is very well suited for Manchester United and they have the capability to give some kinda success not that's much which Alex ferguson did. They way Carrick make this team I think we can Carrick is very much suited because in almiron era we didn't manage that one hair guy which started a social media campaign I don't cut my hair until Manchester united win 5 win in a row we didn't manage that 5 win under and can't trim has hair Hahaha but in Carrick management we are very close to break it but unfortunately the season end but I hope next season Manchester United did that's.

Carrick is a great manager, we have to admit. Carrick is the only one who helped manchester united finish in the top three of the table last  season. The most important thing is that this squad was formed by  Amorim. Carrick worked with Amorim's  squad. And he succeeded. If carrick had had the opportunity to form the squad, could have  added players to  the squad according to his own preferences, then perhaps manchester united's performance would have been even stronger.

Naturally, the fans' expectations on Carrick will increase even more next season. Manchester united will fight for the title. It is likely that this will happen after a long time. In the past seasons, united's target was only to qualify for the champions league. But next season, this team will try to dominate the premier league.

[Spaceman1000$]

We should judge him from the just concluded Premier League Season and we saw how they did in the league. They were at the bottom of the league table and after the middle of the season, Manchester United Started doing well as Michael Carrick took over the leadership the team. And they ended the league in third position therefore in my opinion, Michael Carrick will do well in the next season but we will still know more in the first round of the season. How the team will perform.

With how Carrick performed last season, I don’t even think anyone should expect his performance to drop by next season, Carrick will definitely continue from where he stopped last season. Manchester United might not be able to win the premier league title by next season, but they still going to end the season in a better position. Carrick is a talented coach, Manchester United should just give him some time, and they should give him all the supports which he needs, am sure he will be able to achieve things for Manchester United.

Manchester United under Carrick is doing great, before the season end Carrick try and change people thinking towards Manchester United, and with the sign he shows  last season Carrick is a promising manager and I believe he will deliver a good result. Carrick is a talented  manager and he already know what to do, to make Manchester United a better team by next season  Manchester United will be a threat to many big club in the Premier league.

I've been really focused on watching this World cup, at a point I've even forgotten that there was a premier League that just ended. Michael Carrick was exceptional in the just concluded premier League, he came in when the league was even far gone, and he was able to revive a team a lot of persons have even forgotten. I can see that he has been able to make new signings here and there, this is because I believe he wants to have a team that will be solid especially because of the fact that they will be competing in the champions League come next season.

[ITExpert]

Carrick definitely changed the whole United situation, there is no doubt about that. But that doesn't mean that he will continue to do so. He did not had a full season yet, he had a half a season and he did alright during that season.

I think Micheal Carrick will be more credible and more reliable in his up coming time as he really recieved a great appreciation from everywhere for his mesmerising performance at Manchester United. Because everybody knew that where the team was standing when Micheal joined the team and its just his hard work that the team lift up.from the very bottom to the third position this is the very impressive success in the Carrick profile. So, it is expected that its the best time for Carrick to be in every one's good remake or good books so he will definitely perform too much better in the next season and this is what everybody thinks including me. Anyhow lets see what will happen with the team and coach in the next season as if it will be according to expectations or anything else

[Su-asa]

- Manchester City: 3.75
- Liverpool: 6.00

These are top 3 contenders for bookmakers now. Manchester United follow with 7.00 by the way. After a big improvement they are given a much higher chance than before. Do you find the odds reasonable?

Why do you think that Michael Carrick is getting too much hype? Do you mean to say he's not worth all the hypes?

He did improve the Manchester United team and made them a very strong force in the second half of last season. It was an instant impact he had on the team immediately after he was appointed. So I think it's fair enough to give him his flowers, that's what most fans of the club praising the former England international.

For now Carrick absolutely deserves all the attention on himself... In the end, Manchester United were having really dark days before he came.

They saw the bottom with Amorim and now thanks to Carrick they have resurfaced! I hope they move on like this in the new season as well. 

The odds arrangement seems to be in favour of arsenal because they are the champions of the league but that might slowly change when Another team starts coming up. Manchester United might have a higher off compared to Liverpool and I don't think I would take the risk of betting on them to win the league title, I would rather go with Liverpool even though Manchester United shows more potential than them. Manchester United would definitely finish the season been at the top but winning the title is something I'm not sure they can achieve next season.

There is no issue with Arsenal and Manchester City being top favourites. And with Arsenal's being the top one also. Arteta has finally broken the curse over Arsenal! 

Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea all are going to start next season with new managers. Which ones of them do you expect to be successful?

The criteria for success of these teams are like this to me:

• Manchester City and Liverpool both to challenge for the championship until the end
• Chelsea to finish in top 4 at worst

Lol, see there is no coach or team that can be reliable before the season, I know you are impressed with the outcome of his last season even though he had a short season. What I want you to know now is that the way you see other teams were relentless last season, they will also come back next season because they can't just sit and be like who are n OK t serious in the game, they have to be ready for the battle, some have bought new coach to compete better.

You see that Chelsea have a new coach, Xabi was one of the best person that has coach Germany better, he is now in Chelsea for a better job, he is going to be doing another job and he will make name and gallery there too. Manchester City are starting the season with Maresca, another best person that can tranformed a dead team and dead club, you think all this people are going to sit and just let it go away, I don't think so.

For sure the odd is always in Favour of the current champions, especially when they don’t sell their players, because the chemistry and understanding is still very there between players. Arsenal is a strong contender and a huge favorite to win the league again next season. They really did well last season in all competitions they played and I bet next season will be the same too.

For me I think Chelsea will do much better than Liverpool next season, they both have a new coach but also considering the players Liverpool have lost already this season will be a huge problem for them. Losing salah and Konate will definitely have an impact on the team performance.

They have done a very good job in the previous season in the premier League and that is why I don't think there will be any other person that can be like Pep because that is one of the best coaches that Manchester City and pep is the best thing that ever happened to Manchester City because for a very long time and that have helped them is the fact that pep is a genius and I love the man so much because among all the coaches that Manchester City had pep is the one I love the most just that he worries him self to much his already good, and we are going to miss him because to me is the best but I like the face that his taking a new role so we still have him around so we don't have anything to worry about. When it comes to the premier League city is one of the best, he deserves an award because even despite struggling the city will always win a trophy.

Next season is going to be more dramatic and interesting because now it's having more competitiveness with the change in Manchester City bringing good balance. These three teams have enough potential to do as you mention, but still, it needs hard work and consistency, which is not easy.

Manchester City is still one of the best, but how things will work with the new coach is not easy to talk about. While Liverpool is having good positive change, they can go through to challenge top teams. Chelsea, for me, is also not an easy team, but the coming season is not easy for Xabi Alonso in the Premier League. Arsenal and Manchester United are on the same level with some improvement. This is surely an interesting situation because having 5 to 6 teams of the same level always brings enough challenges.

Manchester United under Carrick is doing great, before the season end Carrick try and change people thinking towards Manchester United, and with the sign he shows  last season Carrick is a promising manager and I believe he will deliver a good result. Carrick is a talented  manager and he already know what to do, to make Manchester United a better team by next season  Manchester United will be a threat to many big club in the Premier league.

Everyone were surprised with how Carrick changed Manchester United performance last season, Manchester United were at the middle of the table when Carrick joined, and he was able to end the season in 3rd position, I don’t even know how he did that because he was making use of the players that Amorim was using and they were not performing well, how did everything changed after Carrick joined the team.

Carrick is having a lot of work to do by next season, he will be playing in the champions league which is not going to be a easy task for him, he will have to learn how to properly rotate players so that they won’t get tired. I feel Manchester United are going to perform well by next season, but it’s not going to be easy for them.

[wozzek23]

Carrick is very well suited for Manchester United and they have the capability to give some kinda success not that's much which Alex ferguson did. They way Carrick make this team I think we can Carrick is very much suited because in almiron era we didn't manage that one hair guy which started a social media campaign I don't cut my hair until Manchester united win 5 win in a row we didn't manage that 5 win under and can't trim has hair Hahaha but in Carrick management we are very close to break it but unfortunately the season end but I hope next season Manchester United did that's.

In the last season, Carrick was doing the job as caretaker, and he was not under pressure about how things would end, but now the situation is completely changed because he will have pressure, and he needs to give his best. This will have an impact on his work, and I am also expecting he will be good and Manchester United will have a better chance of giving good performance.

 After Alex Ferguson, now many are expecting things will be on a good level, but this season is important for having better results because if Michael Carrick is able to keep things on balance, this could be impressive, and Manchester United has a good chance of staying in the top ranks for a long time.
