It is not long until the 2024-25 Premier League season gets underway with Arsenal seeking to go one better after losing out on the title to Manchester City for a second-straight season. Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea will also be eyeing improvement after finishing fifth and sixth, respectively, and missing out on Champions League football.
West Ham are entering their first season since Julen Lopetegui’s appointment as manager, while Crystal Palace will out to build on an encouraging finish to last campaign under Oliver Glasner. Fulham and Brentford will also be eager to improve after bottom-half finishes last term.
Clubs are continuing with their transfer business with further deals expected to follow after the conclusion of Euro 2024 and Copa America. As clubs continue their transfer business, London World has done the unenviable job of trying to predict how the Premier League table will look come May - and where all the London clubs might finish compared to their rivals. Take a look...
17. 4th: Manchester United
A disappointing league campaign last time out but the season ended on a high with victory in the FA Cup final. This summer transfer window will prove key but United have already proven they can be contenders for a Champions League spot under Erik ten Hag and are predicted to improve on last term's disappointing league run. | Manchester United via Getty Imag
18. 3rd: Liverpool
It is all change at Anfield following Jurgen Klopp's departure from the club. New manager Arne Slot has his work cut out but the Reds were comfortably third last season and have enough quality to repeat that, with second or first still feeling a step too far. | Liverpool FC via Getty Images
19. 2nd: Manchester City
Pep Guardiola's side have won six of the last seven league titles and their triumph last season was their fourth in a row. It was the first time an English club had completed such a feat as Arsenal pushed them to the final. However, doing it for a fifth time could prove a challenge and it's predicted they will come up just short. | Getty Images
20. 1st: Arsenal
After two seasons of finished second, it's predicted Arsenal will finally end their wait for another Premier League title. The Gunners made some key signings last summer and if they repeat that success on the transfer front, they have a strong chance of dethroning Manchester City. | AFP via Getty Images
