The English Premier League Roundup; Predictions And Analysis For The New Season

I once said it that the EPL is slowing becoming English version of the La Liga and once again this has been totally proven, Liverpool and Manchester City by far have shown that they might be winning the EPL title for a long time amongst themselves and Liverpool has currently taken this one boosting the most formidable team in the EPL and this is currently worrisome because they remaining 18 teams are currently not contenders even if they third and fourth team which was Manchester City and Chelsea has considerably done well to secure a champions League spot. Arsenal are currently undergoing a phase where they're trying and sacking managers.
Chelsea and Manchester United include Tottenham are currently doing the same thing. Truth is, Liverpool and Manchester City have found stability in both managers, right formation, tactics and players and hence they'll only be building on this while the remaining top 6 teams continues to play catch up. The truth is, this might be a phase and this will continue for a long time but then this trauncates the competitiveness that the EPL stands for and it's beginning to lose the magic. Currently I see Arsenal fading with time and sacking Mikel Arteta and so might Chelsea with Frank Lampard.
Manchester United might take longer to sack Ole Gunnar Solksjaer because he's been pretty more decent than the previous managers like Louis Van Gaal and David Moyes but then I still feel he isn't the right manager that blends with the Manchester United's philosophy. So I'll say the remaining top six teams are still in the testing phase and hence this might create a sort of duopoly between Manchester United and Liverpool for the EPL title for as much as five years to come. In all truth I fear this for the EPL because competitiveness has been what makes the EPL stand out from other leagues like ligue un and the Spanish La Liga

To me I feel Chelsea have been impatient in their quest to win titles and hence they've lost managers like Carlo Ancelloti and Antonio Conte. In all honesty Frank Lampard is a fringe coach and lacks the ability to take Chelsea really far, his substitution errors in the FA cup finals shows he's not really a daring manager and I know be still needs time but then had Chelsea continue building with a manager like Antonio Conte Chelsea would have been a finished product with a consistent type of pattern and play. And as for Arsenal, they'll continue with their "performance for two season and flop in the third season syndrome" for a really long time simply because they haven't really employed a decent manager since Arsene Wenger.
Arsenal's problems might even be deeper, and as for Tottenham, they've made the mistake of their life by signing Jose Mourinho. However it is, The League is ended now and I see no sizeable difference with what might happen next season. Chelsea will need to change their back four including the goal keeper as well as keeping on Cesar Azpilicueta and I don't see this happening not next season nonetheless. Arsenal and Manchester United will continue with their inconsistency at least making the top four and maybe winning the FA cup or may be not, the point is: they won't really do anything exceptional. That said let's await September for the next EPL season.

When you tried to compare EPL with La Liga or League 1
you can sense the disparity between all clubs within their leagues.
La Liga is all about Real and Barca with Paris St-Germain with Ligue 1.
On the other hand EPL you have more teams to look for.
If they play correctly you can witness a run from any elite team.
There are so many to mention.
Hopefully everyone is healthy coming to September.
I will call that a stage in the world of #Football.
Liverpool has a better team collectively.
Manchester City did win yesterday vs Real cause Real allowed it
to happen with the mistakes of Varane.
Glad you have great interest in the world of #Football

Thanks a whole lot for your input, actually I wasn't totally comparing I was scared that the Liverpool/Manchester city duopoly might just about make the EPL seem like the la Liga because there's no competitiveness like it use to be in the early days. Other EPL teams needs to stand up and actually challenge city and Liverpool else the duopoly might just continue.
i feel that Arteta showed what he can do in this last few games, with a limited players. wins against liverpool, city and chelsea in few weeks, with players that he has at the moment... well arsenal did not do that in years. late Wenger years Arsenal was good against "smaller" clubs and that got them champions league, but they always sucked against the big clubs.
If he gets at least some backing by the board, he can improve a lot, of course i don't believe he can be a contender next year. players fight and look like they want to play and that is a big up from last year :D
Yeah I believe Arsenal's board need to change if they're to genuinely become Contenders if not they'll keep contesting for top four and probably winning the FA cup and nothing else, however I won't begrudge the fact that they've done well this season
