Predicted lineups of Premier League top six clubs for 2019/20 season, which will kick-off tonight with all the teams ready with their squads.
Premier League is about to start tonight, with Liverpool challenging Norwich City in the first match of the tournament tonight. Moreover, all the clubs in the Premier League are done with their transfers, as the deadline day has passed last night.
All the top six clubs except Chelsea have had a healthy transfer window since the former are imposed with a year-long transfer ban but still managed to arrive Christian Pulisic and Mateo Kovacic, who were pre-contracted with the Blues.
Apart from that rest of the elite teams in the Premier League have been able to fill their gaps. Arsenal have solved their issue in the attack by hiring Nicolas Pepe and Dani Ceballos, and have temporarily fixed defence by hiring David Luiz.
Manchester United, on the other hand, had a satisfactory window, as they have been able to land, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Harry Maguire and Daniel James to bolster the defence, and to deepen the attack.
On the other hand, Manchester City have bought Joao Cancelo. Angelino, Rodri and Zack Steffen to fill the minor gaps in the squad of the Champions.
Whereas, Liverpool remained inactive in the market this summer, and have only bought teenagers Sepp Van De Berg and Harvey Elliot. Moreover, the Reds hired Adrian on a free transfer to replace Simon Mignolet.
Lastly, Tottenham have bolstered their midfield by hiring Tanguy Ndombele and Giovani Lo Celso. Meanwhile, also prepared themselves to replace Danny Rose by hiring Ryan Sessegnon.
Thus, with this we have an idea of the squads of all the top six clubs in the Premier League. So without further ado, let’s discuss the predicted elevens for all the top-six clubs in the Premier league.
#6 Manchester United
Manchester United had a better transfer window this summer, as their topmost worry in the squad has been solved after the arrival of Harry Maguire. Also, ideal recruitment of Aaron Wan-Bissaka as the right-back has made the Red Devils’ defence uptight.
Moreover, with the addition of Daniel James, a much requirement addition in the attack has been added. On the other hand, with the departure of Romelu Lukaku. Marcus Rashford will have to take up the responsibility ahead.
Additionally, with Paul Pogba staying for another season, he will be heading the midfield and will play alongside McMcTominay and Matic in the middle.
Predicted Lineup 2019/2020 (4-3-3): De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw; Pogba, McTominay/Fred, Matic; Lingard, Martial, Rashford
#5 Arsenal
Even though initially Arsenal had a slim budget declared in the market, but the North London club dared to step outside their budget and hired Nicolas Pepe for a whooping sum.
Further Arsenal also hired, Dani Ceballos on loan from Real Madrid, who is considered as the next big thing in the Spanish football and in the end the Gunners took David Luiz for £8 million fees to replace Laurent Koscielny.
Although, Arsenal’s defence still remains a concern, but they surely have great attacking prospects ahead, as Pierre Emrick Aubameyantg and Alexandre Lacazette’s duo is a lethal combination combined with Ceballos and Pepe to bolster their attack.
Predicted Lineup 2019/2020 (4-2-3-1): Leno; Maitland-Niles, Sokratis, Luiz, Tierney; Xhaka, Torriera; Pepe, Ceballos, Aubameyang; Lacazette
#4 Tottenham
Arsenal’s neighbour had a good transfer window this summer, and have been blessed with midfield recruits this summer. The Lilywhites under the leadership of Hugo Lloris are expected to do much better than last season.
Tottenham will replace Kieran Tierney with either Aurier or Walker-Peters. Moreover, the team will see Tanguy Ndombele and Giovani Lo Celso inclusion in the midfield.
With Tottenham having a great window this summer, it is remained to see whether they will be able to break Manchester City and Liverpool rivalry this season.
Predicted Lineup 2019/2020 (4-2-3-1): Lloris; Aurier/Walker Peters, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose; Winks, Ndombele, Son, Eriksen, Alli; Kane
#3 Chelsea
The another London club did not have a merry summer, in comparison to their counterparts. First of all, Chelsea lost their best player- Eden Hazard to Real Madrid this summer.
On the other hand, their transfer ban did not allow them to have an ideal replacement. However, Christian Pulisic, who is touted to be the next top talent has arrived from Borussia Dortmund and the Blues have even hired Mateo Kovacic on a permanent basis after his season-long spell at the Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea will have to manage with Christiansen and Kurt Zouma as Tony Rudriger is injured and David Luiz has been sold to Arsenal. With this, we predict Chelsea’s predicted lineup.
Predicted Lineup 2019/2020 (4-2-3-1): Kepa; Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Christensen, Alonso; Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic; Pulisic, Willian, Giroud/Tammy Abraham
#2 Liverpool
The Reds did not invest in the market to add any starting 11 players this summer, as Jurgen Klopp felt satisfied with his first team. On the contrary, Simon Mignolet and Daniel Sturridge had to leave the club this summer.
Liverpool will probably play with the same setup, as no major changes in the squad have been observed. With this, any further explanation does not seem required ahead.
Predicted Lineup 2019/2020 (4-3-3) Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Keita, Wijnaldum; Salah, Mane, Firmino
#1 Manchester City
Manchester City have undoubtedly the strongest squad in the Premier League. Moreover, Pep Guardiola have filled the gaps which were prevalent in the squad.
However, the Citizens have failed to replace Vincent Kompany this summer, and have to manage with John Stones and Aymeric Laporte as the main centre backs until January.
On the other hand, Zinchenkho is also expected to continue in the left-back position. Moreover, with Rodri coming in, the concerns in midfield are solved.
Predicted Lineup 2019/2020 (4-3-3)Ederson; Cancelo/Walker, Stones, Laporte, Zinchenko; Rodri, Silva, De Bruyne; Bernardo, Sterling, Aguero
