Predicting the Premier League 2024/2025 season

Welcome to The Athletic FC's YouTube channel, where best-in-class journalism meets video.

The 2024-25 season is approaching and once again we give JJ Bull and Jon Mackenzie the task of predicting the Premier League table.

How will Chelsea and Liverpool fare under new management? Can Manchester United push on from a shaky season? Will Tottenham and Newcastle take the next step in their journeys?

Finally, who will emerge victorious in the 2024-25 Premier League season?
Can Arsenal finally dethrone Man City?

I have to click every athletic video then click off until I find the Tifo boys.

[Topav]

Love how "They would take time to bed in" for Aston Villa's players, but Chelsea with a new manager and new players will be just fine 👍

[theboat]

Lads there’s more of a chance of me getting a playing contract at Chelsea than them finishing 4th

[ummhwegottaproblem]

West Ham in 15th is outrageous from JJ

[Luca]

Every time I see a team struggling with set pieces such as Tottenham, I think about Rangnick saying that if one third of goals in football are scored from set pieces, teams should dedicate one third of their training sessions to it

[glenrobinson]

I have no idea how Jon watched that Community Shield match & came to the conclusion that United are going to be a low block & counter team...

[FazeelAhmed]

This is so painful as a spurs fan. Even after JJ predicts us to go 4th. The visual says 5th. Come on man, give us a break

[tejas]

I like how Chelsea manager is not even in the thumbnail, nor did you do a sensible transfer series for them this year (coz they aint doing anything sensibly!)
Still, 4th is a big call.

[racerdeth]

JJ doing that "Guardiola didn't win the league on 3 3rd one was during COVID" thing again, as if Liverpool didn't have 82 points to City's 57 at the point of the lockdown suspension.

[creasicle]

Can we just be clear about something. Liverpool didn't 'win the league during COVID'. The pandemic started in March with Liverpool already miles away. City were well off it that season and COVID isn't an excuse.

[danielyoo]

2:27 that's not depth, that's death by bloated squad size

[jackpayne]

Don’t really get JJ’s point about West Ham’s squad not looking good but putting Chelsea 4th after cramming about 60 players into it and a far less proven manager

[katana-]

John hates united with every fibre in his body lol

[adelror]

3rd to 8th is highly unpredictable.Newcastle don’t have Europe .Spurs and United have made impressive signings.Liverpool haven’t made any but Arne Slot is too good.Aston Villa with UCL but they made really good signings.West Ham, Brighton and Wolves look very good too

[JettIRL]

Jon "I cant be wrong about Villa 3 seasons in a row" MacKenzie

[tshepo]

I don't see West Ham finishing under below top 10

[hjc]

Newcastle being slept on so much. Their no.1 keeper, best centre half, 3 best no 8's and several squad players out for majority of last season. 17yo Miley had to play 2000 PL mins, Dubravka is one of the worst keepers in the league, Emil Krafth or Jamaal Lascelles started regularly at centre half, Longstaff had to play nearly every minute, Gordon had to play as a 9 at times, and Howe couldn't even make a sub through December while playing twice a week and still only finished 8pts off Villa in 4th

[somdutta]

downplaying LFC’s EPL win by saying it was during COVID is odd, that 1.5 year span in which they won UCL and EPL, they were one of the best English team ever.

[LwandleDlamini_]

Newcastle exist lol, as an arsenal fan apart from city and liverpool the only other team im realistically worried about actually pushing us is newcastle solid defence midfield amd attack. Really only missing a winger or two and a defender at the MINIMUM

[Fratnip]

I need someone to tell me where Jon Mackenzie gets his sweatshirts
