How will your club fare? Phil McNulty's Premier League predictions

The 2023-2024 Premier League season promises to be an exciting one, with nine new managers guiding the 20 competing teams.

Liverpool, despite a disappointing title defense last season, may have a strong season under new manager Andoni Iraola's guidance.

Chelsea, under Michael Carrick, could contend for a top-four finish. Aston Villa, with the help of loan signings Alejandro Garnacho and Joao Gomes, aims to maintain their Champions League qualification. Tottenham, with the acquisitions of Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, and Djed Spence, is also optimistic about a successful season. Manchester United, under Oliver Glasner, has the potential to challenge for the top positions.
