Who Will Win The 2021-2022 English Premier League?

Published

on

The last season of the Premier League ended in a pretty predictable way.

Manchester City proved victorious, pocketing its fifth title, teams have emerged from the second-tier leagues and others have been relegated.

The summer transfer window is drawing to a close, and the beginning of the new season is coming.

It’s time to prepare your first Betway English Premier League soccer betting slips and try to guess which one of the prestigious English clubs will emerge victorious in the upcoming season.

Man City for the win?

It’s pretty early to predict which team has the best chances to win the upcoming Premier League season – but one can speculate.

Of course, the chances will certainly be bent one way or another with any major signings announced by the teams.

But it’s pretty safe to assume that one of the big names – Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Chelsea – will be among the most likely ones.

Defending champions Manchester City are the most likely to win, according to the English publication Daily Mirror, citing a bookmaker that claims to have used a “supercomputer” to predict the outcome of the season.

But not everyone agrees with this prediction. Eurosport journalist Ben Snowball disagrees: he expects Chelsea to emerge victorious next season.

Chelsea plugs a hole

Last year, Chelsea has finished fourth in the Premier League.

This year, in turn, it has the chance to do much better thanks to a high-profile signing: Belgian player Romelu Lukaku.

His arrival will do wonders for Chelsea’s attack, strengthening their ranks right where they need it the most (according to Snowball, the other positions on the turf were already “class”).

Snowball expects Liverpool and Manchester United to do great in the coming EPL season, with the former re-adding Virgil van Dijk to its lineup and the latter strengthening all of the positions that needed it.

And when it comes to Manchester City, he expects them to be unable to repeat last season’s performance – unless, of course, they sign Harry Kane.

And who leaves the EPL?

There’s no reason to talk about the winners if we fail to mention the losers – the teams expected to be relegated from the Premier League next season.

Based on their records, one of the most likely teams to be relegated is Norwich City, a team that has been in and out of the Premier League since 2009 – The Canaries are the only team to be relegated from the EPL five times.

The team won the 2020-2021 EFL Championship, securing a place in the EPL.

Another team likely to fall out of the EPL in the coming season is Watford.

While the team did bring in fresh talent, they can expect a tough season even if manager Xisco Munoz can keep the team’s spirits high.

Cristiano Ronaldo

Georgina Rodriguez made a huge claim on the future of her husband and star player, Cristiano Ronaldo, in Football. In a brief interaction with a host recently, Rodriguez was asked about the time left for Cristiano to make an impact at the highest level. Georgina looked honest in her approach to the question of the host and claimed something the fans would not love to hear.

Georgina claimed that the Portugal star has maybe one year more from him at the highest level. She felt that Ronaldo might play two more years before retiring and not more than that. She was however not sure if he would play for just one or two years and added that the Al Nassr star could also play more than that.

“Cristiano one more year, then it’s over. Maybe two, I don’t know,” said Rodriguez in the little chat she had with the host. The video has gone viral on X and the fans have started sharing it on different platforms. Some of the fans feel that Georgina might be right, while others feel that she could be wrong, given the fitness and longevity of the star player.

Legacy of Cristiano Ronaldo

On the 5th of February, Ronaldo celebrated his 39th birthday. He is currently one of the oldest players in the world. In the past, players at this age would have retired way back. But the fitness and consistency of Ronaldo make him play the sport as long as he wishes. In his career so far, Ronaldo has won many major leagues for Portugal and league teams like Real Madrid, Al Nassr, and Manchester United.

With United, Portugal won some major leagues like the FA Cup and the Champions League. With Real Madrid, the 39-year-old won the leagues like the UCL, Copa Del Rey and La Liga. He won it three consecutive times for Real Madrid. For Portugal, Cristiano had a huge contribution to Portugal. He has the most number of appearances and goals for an international team and won the Euro 2016 with Portugal.

England and Real Madrid player Jude Bellingham was slapped with a Red Card during the La Liga game against Valencia. In the game, the home team, Valencia was leading by 2-0 after 30 minutes before Madrid scored in the injury time of the first half. Vinicius Junior opened the scoring for Madrid while Hugo Duro (27′) and Roman Yaremchuk (30′) scored a goal each.

In the 76th minute, Junior scored an equalizer to keep the team in the game. However, in the injury time of the second half, Bellingham was given a red card as he argued with the referee against calling it a full-time before he could score. In reply, the match official decided to slap the England international with a Red Card. The team coach Carlo Ancelotti wasn’t happy with the verdict as the Three Lions player was making a pass at the time.

“I think what’s just happened is unprecedented. It’s never happened to me,” Ancelotti told reporters.

“We had possession of the ball and the match should have been finished when Valencia had the ball.

“What bothers us is the red card for Bellingham because he didn’t say anything insulting. He was frustrated of course,” said Ancelotti, adding that Bellingham had used a common English swearword when telling the referee it was a goal.

We are annoyed with Jude Bellingham’s Red Card: Carlo Ancelotti

“We were annoyed with Bellingham’s red card. He didn’t say any insults. He said in English ‘it’s a f—ing goal,’ but he was just saying what we were all thinking … [The referee] allowed play to continue. I think he made a mistake.”

“[Bellingham] was clear in what he said,” Ancelotti added. “He was quite vehement [in his reaction] but that’s normal, after what happened. It wasn’t an insult, not at all.”
