The team's continuity has been praised, with some pundits noting that they kept their manager and have strengthened rather than rebuilt. The expected ranking is: Arsenal (109 points), Manchester City (73), Liverpool (38), and Chelsea (35).

However, some pundits have expressed concerns that they might miss out on the title unless they sign a top striker. Manchester City, on the other hand, have been predicted to finish second by 12 out of 26 BBC predictors. The team has lost senior players and their new manager has been questioned by some pundits.
