EPL: Chelsea tip to finish outside the top four next season

With the new signings the top six clubs in the EPL have made this summer, there are bound to be massive competition when the new season starts.

And former Arsenal star, Ray Parlour in a recent statement gave a prediction as to how the Premier League top four will look like at the end of the 2022-33 season.

Manchester City and Liverpool will go head to head in the Community Shield this weekend after which the league will commence fully the next weekend.

Arsenal, who have made some interesting signings this summer will hope to qualify for the Champions League.

Manchester City will look forward to winning another title in this campaign.

While Chelsea will hope to remain in the top four, it would be a difficult task for them as they have been unable to much players like their rivals.

The Blues only signed Kalidou Koulibaly and Raheem Sterling this summer but lost Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen on free transfers to Spanish sides Real Madrid and Barcelona, respectively.

Parlour predicted Man City to win the league again, with Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham in the top four.

The former Arsenal star thinks Chelsea will ‘struggle’ and miss out on Champions League qualification.

“I would go Manchester City to win it,” Parlour told talkSPORT.

“Then Liverpool, definitely. I think Arsenal have to aim for third. That’s going to be their aim.

“If they can keep everyone fit, one more player coming in, then they have a decent squad, so I am going to go third for Arsenal and then Spurs will be good [for fourth].

“But I think Chelsea are going to struggle this season. Unless they make some signings, they might make a couple before the window closes and then you might change your mind.”
