The NBA football league is starting: You're going after an even stronger Liverpool

The league that has long been a story in itself, practically a football version of the NBA, is ready for another page - it seems with even stronger teams, with a lot of money invested in reinforcements, with games that will be spectacles of their own from weekend to weekend.

The new Premier League season begins tonight, and it will start from the home of the champions - Liverpool will welcome Bournemouth to Anfield at 21pm.

It was the ruler of England who made the summer on the Island particularly exciting, as he caused a stir with transfers that were not even completed yet.

The German sensation has arrived. Florian Wirtz for 136 million euros, the striker was also paid dearly Igo Ekitike (around 90 million), and there are also new defenders Jeremy Frimpong i Miloš Kerkez, super talented stopper Giovanni LeoniThere were also departures, so they no longer wear the red jersey. Trent Alexander-Arnold, Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunes...

For many, all of this means that Liverpool is the main contender for the title, while the former aces of this league Joe Cole, Peter Crouch i Owen Hargreaves They pointed out to TNT Sports that the Premier League hasn't had such a clear favorite in a long time.

It is somehow more realistic, however, that the "Reds" are the favorites, but also that the champion will have several good challengers - from Arsenal, Manchester City, to Chelsea.

He doesn't shy away from that role either. Arne Slott.

- Yes, we are the favorites. But not because of the big investments this summer, but because we are the champions and because Liverpool always has to go for the title - said the Liverpool coach.

Arsenal have no more excuses

Arsenal hasn't been champions of England for 21 years, but they should be Liverpool's main rival this season.

The "Gunners" are coming Mikel Arteta have finally become one of the most serious teams in the Premier League again, but in recent years they have always lacked something to deliver the finishing blow. After all, the north London giants have been runners-up in the previous three seasons, and trophies from other competitions have not arrived.

Therefore, it is clear that Arsenal, and especially Arteta, have no more excuses - another season without a title would be hard to forgive, especially since this time good reinforcements like a goal machine have arrived. Viktor Djekeres, midshipman Martina Zubimendija, Nonija Madukea...

- I'm happy with the breadth we've gained with the new players, to win the title that's really necessary. The Premier League is getting stronger every year, there are more and more competitive teams. The level of the league is growing - we knew all that, so our demands have also increased - said Arteta.

The Gunners will have a real test right from the start, as they play against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday at 17.30:XNUMX PM.

City and Chelsea, don't write off Newcastle, Tottenham, United, Villa

A team that has won six of the last eight titles must always be among the big favorites, and no bad season changes that. Manchester City are at a turning point, because Pep Guardiola and his team want to show that one weak year was just a transitional period.

One of the best coaches of all time didn't want to promise anything this time.

- I don't know what to say... I never thought we would win six Premier League titles in seven years, but if you expect me to tell you now that we will be champions next season, then you are wrong - said Guardiola, who will not be able to count on the officially best footballer on the planet again until mid-September. Rhodri, but there are promising reinforcements like Ryan Sherkey, Tijani Rejnders...

Chelsea last season with Encom Mareskom managed to return to the top of the Premier League, and during the summer he also became world champion, so it is clear that he will now want to get involved in the championship race.

- I think that just 12 months ago we were very far from Liverpool, Arsenal and City, but we have managed to reduce that gap. The title? When you are at Chelsea that always has to be the goal - Marseca pointed out.

Along with the aforementioned teams, Newcastle and Tottenham are certainly among the favorites, but no one should write off the great Manchester United, regardless of their disappointing last season. Reuben Amorim will with reinforcements Mateušom Surname, Brian Mbeum i Benjamin Šeško and the team with which he first went through complete preparations wants to show that he has not strayed onto the bench of a big club.

There is certainly also the great Aston Villa, which looks more compact and stronger year after year with Unai Emery.

Great football, round-by-round derbies, full stands and a specific island atmosphere - everything is ready for another memorable Premier League season.
