They may also feel theyre considerably better than the rest of the field, with Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur failing to strengthen too strongly.Liverpool are expected to put up a good fight, as Jurgen Klopps men have signed two stellar midfielders in Fabinho from AS Monaco and Naby Keita from RB Leipzig, in addition to goalkeeper Ali son joining Davon Godchaux Jersey from AS Roma. The Reds reached the Champions League final last season, so theres little reason why that cant translate domestically in 2018/19.Chelsea have had a disrupted summer, but they have a world-cla s manager in Maurizio Sarri who could have them overachieving. Sarri nearly led Napoli to the title, but hell have his work cut out at Stamford Bridge due to the downbeat mood in the camp after a disappointing season under Antonio Conte. Neverthele s, keeping Eden Hazard this summer NFL New England Patriots Jersey will be a major victory.Few are backing Tottenham to compete as theyll go into next season with the same side that fell short in 2017/18, but keeping the likes of Christian Eriksen, Joe Cardona Jersey Harry Kane and manager Mauricio Pochettino is a real boost. Its easy to forget Pochettino was linked with Real Madrid in the summer and the job was vacant for a period when Zinedine Zidane stepped down.Manchester United were runners-up last season but have been disappointing in their recruitment policy which could see them struggle to keep up with the competition. Having Jose Mourinho at the helm will likely ensure they remain competitive in the top-four, but its hard to see them in the title race for the majority of the season.
