What We Learnt from Every Premier League Team Before the Season
Fans and experts alike are excited about the new Premier League season as the preseason comes to an end. Preseason is always an important time for clubs to work on their teams, try out new strategies, and get new players used to the team. Every Premier League team gave hints about what to expect in the next season, and this year was no different. Here’s what we learnt from every Premier League club during their training, from teams that are in the running for the title to teams that just got promoted.
We have Arsenal. The Gunners worked hard to improve their defence, which was a weak spot last year. Jurrien Timber, the new player who was signed, impressed with how versatile he is, and Declan Rice gave the midfield more strength. Arsenal’s attack, which was led by Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus, was quick and creative, which made them strong title challengers.
From title contenders to underdogs, here’s what every Premier League club showed us in preseason!
This is Aston Villa: Unai Emery’s team played with discipline, and new players Moussa Diaby and Pau Torres fit right in with the rest of the team. Based on how well Villa played in practice, they may try to qualify for Europe again this year, building on their success from last year.
**Bournemouth:** When Bournemouth got new managers, they played more offensively. Their young team, which has been strengthened by new players like Justin Kluivert, should be more competitive this season, and they hope to avoid the relegation fight.
**Brentford:** Even without Ivan Toney, Brentford’s training showed how tough they are. They had a strong defence, and Bryan Mbeumo became their main attacking danger. This made it look like they were on track for another solid mid-table finish.
Brighton: Brighton kept showing how good they were at playing flowing football. New player Joao Pedro showed flashes of ability, and Kaoru Mitoma and Pascal Gross were also in great shape. The Seagulls look like they could be dark horses for a spot in Europe.
New tactics, star signings, and surprises—discover the key takeaways from every Premier League team’s preseason!
Hey, Burnley! The newly promoted team, led by Vincent Kompany, showed they wanted to attack. Nathan Redmond brought Premier League experience to the team, and Burnley’s aggressive style makes it look like they won’t be easy to beat this season.
**Chelsea:** Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea looked like they were getting better. Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson were good with guns, and Levi Colwill looked like he had a strong defence. It looked like Chelsea might be able to get back to the top four after their training.
Palace of Crystals: During the off-season, Palace tried to find its new character without Zaha. Eberechi Eze became an important player, and their strong defence stayed the same. This coming season, Palace will try to keep things stable.
**Everton:** Everton worked on boosting trust. Arnaut Danjuma’s addition gave the team more choices for attack, and the team worked better together under Sean Dyche, which could be a sign of improvement from last season’s problems.
**Fulham:** Fulham stressed continuity, and Marco Silva kept up the same method. But when Aleksandar Mitrovic left, it raised questions about their ability to score goals. Fulham needs to fix this problem to escape a slump in their second season.
**Liverpool:** Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz were in great shape during Liverpool’s training, which showed how deep their attack is. But defensive holes were found that Jurgen Klopp needs to fix if they want to be in the running for the title.
City of Manchester: City’s training was mostly about getting new players like Josko Gvardiol used to the team. The team looked good, and City is still the team to beat with Erling Haaland in charge of the attack.
This is Manchester United: United’s training focused on making the attack more dynamic, and Mason Mount’s creativity in the middle of the pitch helped. Their defence looked strong, especially with Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez on it. This made them a title contender.
City of Newcastle: Newcastle’s preseason was all about building up their team, and Sandro Tonali was a great addition to the midfield. Eddie Howe’s team looked like it was well-organised and ready to play in the Premier League and the Champions League.
The Nottingham Forest: Forest worked on getting the team to work together, while Steve Cooper tried out different strategies. Their preseason showed that they might be able to escape another relegation fight, but they are still making progress.
**Sheffield United:** The newly promoted team had a rough training, and their defence caused a lot of worry. But their toughness and team spirit were clear, which are traits they’ll need to stay alive in the top flight.
NOTES: Tottenham: Under Ange Postecoglou, Spurs were very good at striking. Harry Kane and Son Heung-min led the way. But problems on defence still exist, and Postecoglou needs to fix them for the season to go well.

**West Ham:** Declan Rice left West Ham during the summer, but the arrival of new players gave the team hope. To try to finish in the top half, David Moyes will need to find the right mix.
**Wolves:** The Wolves’ training was all about getting back on track under Gary O’Neil. The team looked more organised, and now that they have more ways to attack, they hope to avoid the same problems they had last season.
Each club in the Premier League will be excited to show off what they’ve been working on during the off-season. The stage is set for another exciting season with new strategies, players, and goals.
