Premier League 2020-2021 outright winner prediction

Although it hasn’t been that long Leicester City won the title out of the blue, we are going to discard many teams in this overview. Yes, if we are wrong doing so you are free to tell us this in may that we were wrong;)

We have shortened the list to the usual suspects and one promising club that might surprise us all. So, without further ado, here are the title candidates in chronological order (the odds are improving while the list goes down).

Manchester City

Although it is close, Manchester City has the edge over Liverpool in the eyes of the bookmakers for next year’s title. And we agree. Liverpool proved post-corona lockdown and post-title that they were loosening the bow (and were beatable). Manchester City was the first to show this most strikingly to the world. City, although defeated in the Champions League (again), came out blazing from the lockdown. If they can hold this form, and maybe still even attract Messi, they will be an almost unstoppable force.

Liverpool

Let’s not be early to disregard the football machine that is Liverpool and the genius coach that is Klopp. Manchester City might be an unstoppable force, Liverpool’s defense seems an unmovable object from time to time. There are rumours of key players transferring (Wijnaldum to Barcelona?), will this cause some sand in the engine at the start of the season? We do feel that Liverpool benefits a full stadium more than for instance Manchester City, as their fans are so dedicated. Maybe that is a reason why the end of the season was not in line with the rest?

Manchester United

The sleeping giant is finally waking up after so many years. Could it be Bruno Fernandes was the missing link that tied everything together for Ole? It appears to be. But just to be sure, United signed the Ajax forward midfielder Donny van de Beek as well. There is finally a team on the pitch next season instead of 11 random signings. It might be one year too soon for the title, but Manchester is certainly going to make things difficult for the other top clubs.

Chelsea

This is our semi-outsider pick and tip for this season. After the transfer ban lift, Chelsea has gotten some very good signings in Ziyech and Werner. Last year they already proved a young, energetic squad filled with potential under a promising coach. This year we think they might be bald enough to challenge the big boys. A problem for Lampard last year was putting up consistent results. Something typical for young teams. Can Lampard discipline his squad to focus all that abundant energy on the right things?
