PITA’s 2022/23 Premier League predictions

Top four

James – I’m backing the two north London clubs to join Liverpool and City in the top four, but that could change depending on the business Chelsea conduct before the end of the summer window. They need another goalscorer and two defenders. Both Arsenal and Spurs have brought well this summer, with the former looking excellent in pre-season and the latter boasting Antonio Conte.

Adam – Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham. The glaring omission is Chelsea and after their poor pre-season and lack of incomings, they just might miss out. The top two speak for themselves and as far as Arsenal and Tottenham go, you could flip a coin to see who finishes where.

Kenneth – Man City, Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal. I anticipate more of the same regarding a title fight, with Liverpool and City vying for pole position, and it would take a dramatic improvement from any of the rest to break the duopoly. The next two spots remain up for grabs but perhaps some smart additions and Conte’s impressive track record will see Tottenham grab third place, while equally shrewd business at Arsenal should be enough to secure fourth.

Mitch – City, Liverpool, Spurs, Arsenal. All of these clubs have improved this summer and will look to build on last season. Chelsea is the obvious omission here and I feel they haven’t done enough yet to address key weaknesses in the squad while these four have.

Trent – Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea are my top four. Although if Erik ten Hag has it his way, United could snatch fourth place.
