Predictions come with many asterisks due to potential off-field strife, but here’s hoping for a tighter scrap at the bottom
I like those double page spreads where you get a little team-by-team guide before the new Premier League season. Ins/outs, thoughts on the gaffer. Heart says third, head says 15th. Dave – club podcast host – speaks for the entire fanbase when he says Dejan Kulusevski is due a big year.
Just the right amount of information for the armchair neutral before all the predictions fall apart halfway through the first Match of the Day. But what would the perfect season be for someone without a dog in the fight – who just wants the right amount of great football, chaos, crisis klaxons and controversy?
