The 2024-25 Premier League season kicks off Friday, with fans and pundits alike giving their takes on how they expect the campaign to unfold.
Tony Pulis is no different, with the former Premier League manager offering his two cents on how the title race will go.
Pulis, who managed Stoke City, Crystal Palace and West Brom in England top flight, believes there will be no change at the very top of the standings when the final games are played. Speaking to Betway, Pulis predicted an identical top three from last season with a new team occupying fourth place.
“In the title race you have to look at the quality that Manchester City have got, the consistency they’ve had and how they have dealt with everything that has been thrown at them," Pulis said.
“They're used to the pressure and have come through that both before and after Pep Guardiola arrived. He is an outstanding manager.
“Arsenal have come close since they allowed Mikel Arteta to manage the football club as a whole and they have a strong connection there so they will still be the top contenders.
“Liverpool have had an outstanding pre-season, which doesn’t always mean they will contend for the title but I think they will be the closest after Arsenal.”
"After Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool, I think we could see Newcastle.
“Eddie Howe is staying despite the speculation regarding England and showing that loyalty to the staff and the supporters, they could have a really good season. I think Newcastle will be really strong this year.”
