After Chelsea latest signings, Paul Merson finally reveals who to win the Premier League title
With each passing season, the Premier League has been harder to win, and the 2022-23 season will be no exception.
Even though teams have significantly strengthened, it is anticipated that the upcoming Premier League season will be more difficult.
Over the past five years, Manchester City and Liverpool have dominated, but teams like Manchester United, Tottenham, and Arsenal are already hiring for the upcoming season.
However, Paul Merson is picking Man City to win the league again and thinks Chelsea might be a threat if they make good signings this summer.
According to Merson, the top three from the previous season will remain in position.
Paul Merson told Sportskeeda: “I think Manchester City will win the Premier League, but I have to say it’s not as much of a foregone conclusion as others make it out to be,”
“Erling Haaland’s arrival is obviously a massive boost for Pep Guardiola, but it’s not the end of it with Liverpool still very much in the running.
“With the departures of Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling, Manchester City have lost at least 30 Premier League goals between the pair and that could turn out to be a huge problem for them.
“The only worry for Liverpool, on the other hand, is that they’ve lost an unbelievable player in Sadio Mane, who scored big goals for them over the years.
“They’ll have to rely on Darwin Nunez to settle as quickly as Luis Diaz did, which is obviously a long shot because the Colombian took to English football like a duck to water.
“If Jurgen Klopp can get Nunez firing immediately, it’ll be tight once again, but if that doesn’t happen, I think Manchester City should win the Premier League.
“Chelsea could be in the title race too with a couple of smart additions, but they’ll have to be consistent over the course of 38 games. Raheem Sterling will give them a massive lift – he’s a talented footballer who can play anywhere across the frontline as we’ve seen over the years for club and country.
“He has my respect and should have no trouble adapting to Thomas Tuchel’s philosophy at Chelsea, having flourished in the Premier League for Liverpool and Manchester City.
“Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea pick themselves as the top three in whatever order and I’d be shocked if anything else were to happen.”
