Liverpool have three players whose contracts expire at the end of the 2024/25 season.

Mohamed Salah is one of the players who will see his contract expire in the summer of 2025 and he has spoken out on his future.

Goalkeepers play a vital part for their club or country. They not only keep clean sheets and win games for their side but sometimes also score goals or provide assists.

During the 2022/23 season there were several goalkeepers that stood out for their sides like Emi Martinez who helped Argentina to win World Cup, or Ederson who won treble with Manchester City.

Let&#39;s take a look at goalkeepers who could stand out in 2024/25

<h2>Top 10 goalkeepers in the world 2024</h2>

<h3>#10&nbsp;Emi Martinez (Ason Villa)</h3>

<img alt="Top 10 goalkeepers in the world 2024" src="https://images.beinsports.com/NRBNvXn60HqSPWRk5BtKbHgbaIo=/full-fit-in/1000x0/4567509-2022-12-18T194023Z_447439772_MT1PANP2516200969_RTRMADP_3_SOCCER-ARGENTINA-VS-FRANCE-FINAL-QATAR-FIFA-WORLD-CUP-12.JPG" style="width: 800px; height: 533px;" />

Martinez is currently one of the best goalkeepers for country as well as club. He has been helping his sides on many occasions.

The goalkeeper is known for his ability to save his side during penalty shootouts.

During this year&#39;s Ballon d&#39;Or, Martinez was crowned as the best goalkeeper.&nbsp;

<h3>#9&nbsp;Giorgi Mamardashvili (Valencia on loan from Liverpool)</h3>

Mamardashvili is currently on loan at Valencia and will join Liverpool from next season. He has become one of the best goalkeepers in the league.

<h3>#8&nbsp;Unai Simon (Athletic Club)</h3>

Sim&oacute;n became Zamora Trophy winner during the previous season with Athletic Club. SImon was Spain&#39;s first choice goalkeeper during their EURO winning run.

<h3>#7 Mike Maignan (AC Milan)</h3>

Maignan has become one of the best goalkeepers not only for his club but he has also earned the first choice goalie position in France following Hugo Lloris&#39; departure.

<h3>#6&nbsp;Marc Andre Ter Stegen (Barcelona)</h3>

<img alt="Top 10 goalkeepers in the world 2024" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/_KXq7Davho_5t7597HVV7xuVNBg=/0x0:3333x5000/1400x933/filters:focal(1454x740:1986x1272):no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/72067128/1473048299.0.jpg" style="width: 800px; height: 533px;" />

Marc Andre ter Stegen is currently sidelined due to having suffered a serious injury, however, he is Barcelona&#39;s first choice goalkeeper.

<h3>#5&nbsp;Jan Oblak (Atletico Madrid)</h3>

Jan Oblak has been Atletico Madrid&#39;s number one for many years. Oblak has made 14&nbsp;appearances in which he has conceded 15&nbsp;goals and kept 5&nbsp;clean sheets.&nbsp;

<h3>#4&nbsp;Yann Sommer (Inter Milan)</h3>

<img alt="Top 10 goalkeepers in the world 2024" src="https://icdn.sempreinter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Inter-Milan-Goalkeeper-Yann-Sommer-1-scaled.jpg" style="width: 800px; height: 533px;" />

Getty Images

Yan Sommer has been with Inter since 2023. He has so far made 14 appearances in which he has kept 8 clean sheets.

<h3>#3&nbsp;Thibaut Courtois (Real Madrid)&nbsp;</h3>

<img alt="" src="http://vbetnews.com/uploads/2022/VbetNews%20September/Courtois.webp" style="width: 800px; height: 450px;" />

Getty Images&nbsp;

Courtois has returned to Real Madrid from long-term injury. The goalkeeper returned to his form as if he had never left. However, he has now suffered another injury and he&nbsp;will be out for two weeks.

<h3>#2&nbsp;Ederson (Manchester City)</h3>

&nbsp;

One of the two Brazil national team goalkeepers Ederson has been Manchester City&#39;s first choice goalkeeper and has become one of the key players of Pep Guardiola&#39;s side.

&nbsp;

<h3>#1&nbsp;Alisson (Liverpool)</h3>

<img alt="Top 10 goalkeepers in the world 2024" src="https://static.independent.co.uk/2023/12/15/13/newFile.jpg" style="width: 800px; height: 450px;" />

Claiming Alisson is the best goalkeeper in the world might sound outrageous, or does it? The goalkeeper is a classic example of the modern goalkeeper having all the features that the modern goalie should have.

The 2030 FIFA World Cup is set to be a unique international event, spanning three continents and involving multiple host nations for the first time in history.

Manchester United will host Leicester City at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon in what is expected to be Ruud van Nistelreooy&#39;s last game as United&#39;s interim coach, and it is relatively normal to expect the Dutchman to sign out what many as described as a breath of fresh air with a win.&nbsp;

The Man United legend will look to field out his best starting lineup against the Foxes if he desires to sign out with a win, and this lineup may not favour Alejandro Garnacho or Marcus Rashford, thanks to how Amad Diallo performed against PAOK in the Europa League.

Van Nistelrooy decided to rest Rashford for Diallo to start at the right wing, and it turned out that the former PSV boss actually made a masterclass decision, as Diallo scored twice as Man United beat the Greek side 2-0.

The former Atalanta forward is likely to maintain his place in the starting lineup, but the question is; who will start on the left wing?&nbsp;

Garnacho wasn&#39;t sharp on the left against Chelsea and PAOK, so there wouldn&#39;t be many raised eyebrows if Rashford got the nod from Van Nistelrooy.&nbsp;

<img alt="Manchester United vs Leicester City: How should Van Nistelrooy lineup " src="/uploads/uploads-new/posts/Nwoke/1731185324.jpg" style="width: 1920px; height: 1080px;" />

Based on experience, I think Rashford is up there, but&nbsp;the last time United played Leicester, Rashford was not on the scoreboard. Garnahco scored, so I will go with the Argentine to remain in the first team.

<h2>Manchester United&#39;s predicted starting lineup vs Leicester City</h2>

I think this is how Manchester United would lineup under Ruud van Nistelrooy, and the Dutchman will only think about getting all three points.&nbsp;

GK: Onana 
DF: Dalot, De Ligt, Martinez, Mazroaui 
MF: Casemiro, Ugarte, Fernandes 
FW: Diallo, Hojlund, Garnacho

I think both Ugarte and Casemiro played well against Chelsea, and they can only get better as they continue to start games alongside each other.&nbsp;

Hojlund starting the game should not attract any questions.

Manchester United vs Leicester City: How should Van Nistelrooy lineup

Manchester United will look to get their long-awaited win in the Europa League this season when they host PAOK at Old Trafford on Thursday night.&nbsp;

Man United were forced to draw their opening three Europa League matches against FC Twente, Porto, and Fenerbahce, and what amazed their fans was that they scored first in each of those fixtures.

The Red Devils will attempt to get all three points when they host PAOK in Manchester, but Ruud van Nistelrooy, who&#39;s United&#39;s interim manager following the sacking of Erik ten Hag, will have a bigger squad to select his starting team from, as some senior players returned from injury early this week.

The likes of Christian Eriksen, Leny Yoro, Kobbie Mainoo, Mason Mount, and Antony all returned to the team this week. Malacia, who last played for Man United two seasons ago, has also returned to the mix.

<h2>Manchester United Predicted Starting Lineup</h2>

Given how they performed against Chelsea, I think Manchester United should line up against PAOK with Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford in wide areas, while Rasmus Hojlund leads the line.

In the midfield, I expect the likes of Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, and Ugarte to maintain their starting roles, while Onana to start in goal, behind Mazraoui, Martinez, De Ligt and Dalot.&nbsp;

GK: Onana 
DF: Dalot, De Ligt, Martinez, Mazraoui 
MF: Casemiro, Ugarte, Fernandes 
FW:&nbsp;Garnacho, Rashford, Hojlund

Europa League: How Manchester United should lineup against PAOK

It is hard to rank the best teams in the world as there are many credentials to it. You either rank them by the trophies they have won during their history or the latest performances which have brought trophies in the recent years.

Greatest example in this scenario is Real Madrid and Manchester City. Madrid have been a football classic over the years, having won 15 record breaking Champions League trophies.

Meanwhile, City have risen to the title of the best football team over the years after winning Premier League trophies over and over again as well as winning their first UCL under the head coach Pep Guardiola.

So let&#39;s take a look at the best football teams in the world.

<h2>Top 10 Best Football Teams in the World 2024</h2>

<h2>1.&nbsp;Manchester City</h2>

<img alt="Top 10 Best Football Teams in the World 2024" src="http://vbetnews.com/uploads/2022/VbetNews%20September/GOAL_-_Blank_WEB_-_Facebook_-_2023-06-11T111337.463.webp" style="width: 900px; height: 506px;" />

City&#39;s recent track record includes securing five of the last six Premier League titles, lifting the FA Cup, and claiming their maiden Champions League victory which led the Cityzens into clinching the FIFA Club World Cup&#39;s title. 
 
While the Manchester giants&nbsp;boast&nbsp;immense financial resources, a talented coaching staff, and a roster of world-class players, Guardiola remains circumspect about their prospects in the upcoming season. While Rodri&#39;s midfield performance shines, there&#39;s a growing sense that some rejuvenation in the midfield may be on the horizon. 
 
The team&#39;s dominance isn&#39;t waning; they still possess ample potential for further accomplishments. The main challenge for their competitors might be that, having conquered their previous goals, the Ctalan manager and his squad may find the motivation to scale new heights that much more arduous.

It appears that in the coming year, the team most capable of surpassing Manchester City are none other than Manchester City themselves.

<h2>2.&nbsp;Real Madrid</h2>

<img alt="Top 10 Best Football Teams in the World 2024" src="http://vbetnews.com/uploads/2022/VbetNews%20September/ezgif-2-6b497465be.webp" style="width: 900px; height: 506px;" />

A bright future for Real Madrid appears to be on the horizon, set to extend over the next decade. The transfer of Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund adds a fresh dimension to Carlo Ancelotti&#39;s managerial prowess.

The Italian manager now has the opportunity to oversee a midfield that combines the best of both worlds, blending the vibrancy of youth with the wisdom of experience. Behind this midfield, the team&#39;s foundation stands as solid as a rock.

The dynamic duo of Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo, already impressive, have room to further develop into elite European talents. The only missing piece in this puzzle is a striker to fill the void left by Karim Benzema. With that final addition, Los Blancos could set themselves up for a decade of unrivaled success.

The La Liga giant are currently second in the domestic table with&nbsp;48 points with a game in hand, as Girona lead the standing with 49 points.

In the Spanish Super Cup clash in Saudi Arabia on January 14, Carlo Ancelotti&#39;s side dominated with a convincing 4-1 victory over Barcelona, reigniting the classic rivalry in style.

Seeking payback for their 2023 final defeat, Los Gal&aacute;cticos orchestrated a brilliant comeback.&nbsp;Vinicius Jr. netted a remarkable hat trick within the first 39 minutes, firmly establishing control for his side. Robert Lewandowski added a goal to keep the Catalans&nbsp;in the game. However, any hopes of a comeback were extinguished in the second half when Rodrygo found the net, securing a decisive advantage for&nbsp;Madrid.

<h2>3. FC Barcelona</h2>

<h2><img alt="Top 10 Best Football Teams in the World 2024" src="http://vbetnews.com/uploads/2022/VbetNews%20September/barcelona-la-liga-champions.webp" style="width: 900px; height: 506px;" /></h2>

<big>Despite casually winning La Liga in 2022/23, Barcelona&nbsp;now find themselves all but ruled out of the current title race. They trail league leaders Girona by a significant eight&nbsp;points and are gradually slipping out of contention behind their longtime rivals, Real Madrid.</big>

The struggles extend to both the defensive and offensive aspects of their game. Blaugrana&#39;s solid defense from the previous season, with the most clean sheets in Europe and only 20 goals conceded in La Liga, has proven challenging to replicate.

However, the absence of Sergio Busquets, who played a key defensive midfield role, has left a significant gap, and defensive inconsistency this season, including positional changes and new additions like Joao Cancelo, has disrupted their stability.

As for Robert Lewandowski, who was a brilliant performer for Xavi, winning the Pichichi and leading them to La Liga victory, is now grappling with challenges at 35 due to a lack of creative support. The Catalans&#39; diminished creativity has impacted the former Bayern Munich star&#39;s&nbsp;goal-scoring abilities, resulting in missed chances and a noticeable decline in performance compared to three years ago.

&nbsp;

<h2>4. Arsenal</h2>

<img alt="Top 10 Best Football Teams in the World 2024" src="http://vbetnews.com/uploads/2022/VbetNews%20September/ezgif-2-23471bf482.webp" style="width: 900px; height: 608px;" />

One club set to contend to continue shining&nbsp;are Arsenal. The club has made substantial investments to address the disappointments of the past, notably finishing as the second-best team.&nbsp;

The Gunners have acquired three key players to bolster their ranks. The trio comprises Kai Havertz from Chelsea, Jurri&euml;n Timber from Ajax, and Declan Rice from West Ham, with the club breaking records with a hefty price tag of &pound;105 million.

Under the guidance of manager Miguel Arteta, the North London stars&nbsp;maintain&nbsp;their commitment to nurturing young talent across every position. The squad boasts promising talents like William Saliba and Gabriel Magalh&atilde;es in defense, and an attacking trio featuring Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, and Gabriel Martinelli. Meanwhile, Martin Odegaard leads the team as captain in midfield.

With this rejuvenated lineup, Arteta&#39;s squad seeks to end a 19-year drought since their last Premier League title triumph in 2004, during the tenure of club legend manager Arsene Wenger. However, the club are currently sitting fourth in the domestic league after their recent winless streak.

<h2>5.&nbsp;Bayern Munich</h2>

<img alt="Top 10 Best Football Teams in the World 2024" src="http://vbetnews.com/uploads/2022/VbetNews%20September/GOAL_-_Blank_WEB_-_Facebook_-_2023-10-23T113826.763.webp" style="width: 900px; height: 506px;" />

In the quest for a prolific goal-scorer, one team stands out as they continue to amass top talents from the Bundesliga. Their recent arrivals, Harry Kane, Konraid Laimer and Raphael Guerreiro, promise to inject quality into a midfield that may require players with a defensive mindset, especially when competing in the Champions League.

Thomas Tuchel&#39;s 2023/24 squad boasts a wealth of seasoned talent, providing an ideal canvas for a top-tier coach to introduce fresh tactics and strategies. However, upon closer examination, a subtle yet significant ingredient seems to be lacking.

Could the addition of the English goal machine&nbsp;be the solution? The answer remains uncertain, but the hope is that one of these potential signings could provide that extra spark needed to complete the puzzle for success.

<h2>6. Inter Milan</h2>

Inter Milan have showcased their prowess as a formidable Serie A team in recent months. The prospect of them contending for the Scudetto title looms large, yet the journey to establish similar dominance among Europe&#39;s elite clubs is an arduous one.

If they manage to retain Lautaro Martinez, they secure a talismanic figure on the other side. Inter&#39;s ambitions for European glory are apparent, but they are keenly aware that this is a venture that necessitates time and strategic development to rival the continent&#39;s top-tier teams.

<h2>7. AC Milan</h2>

Erling Haaland scores goals for fun and keeps breaking records in the Premier League and Champions League. That wasn&#39;t really a bad 2022/23 season. He made an important contribution to Manchester City&#39;s treble, which his form shows despite injury this season. 
 
With all that shows in physicality, pace, and finishing of moves, the Norway international has become the most feared forward in the world. He remains a top contender for the 2025 Ballon d&#39;Or.

Kylian Mbappe proved himself within PSG and repeated his skills again and again. Now he has just begun a new journey with Real Madrid and can attempt to try for the Ballon d&#39;Or trophy, under new chances. 
 
Mbappe - be it speed, dribbling, or even an eye for goal - has always been a cut above the rest in his generation; hence, he features among the best performers worldwide. He has grown in leadership and adaptability, now fronting the Los Blancos attack.

Yamal is one of the many football talents who emerged into prominence, groomed by the youth system, and carries a very bright future with him in football. He was just 16 when he took Barcelona by the scruff of the neck with his amazing dribbling, creativity, and composure. 
 
He rose rapidly through the ranks of the first team, being compared to legends, even going as far as Messi himself. He could very well end up being the dark horse for the Ballon d&#39;Or in the years to come -&nbsp;perhaps even 2025.

&nbsp;

<h2>4. Vinicius Jr.</h2>

Club: Real Madrid&nbsp;

Vin&iacute;cius J&uacute;nior Vin&iacute;cius is improving season by season and has gradually become a regular at Real Madrid. His dribbling and pace are always a menace for any defender. Not just from an attacking sense but also, because he grew as a leader in Madrid.

&nbsp;

<h2>5. Jude Bellingham</h2>

Jude Bellingham Bellingham slotted into a Real Madrid midfield so smoothly that he became a fans&#39; favorite in no time. What separates his game is that he can make plays from both a scoring and set-up point of view. 
 
He has shown maturity beyond his age and now is one of the most accomplished midfielders in Europe. His performances have kept Madrid in the race for both the La Liga and Europe.

&nbsp;

<img alt="" src="http://vbetnews.com/uploads/2024/Mohamed_Salah.webp" style="width: 800px; height: 450px;" />

As much as Liverpool transition, Salah is one of the performers in the Premier League. His speed, dribbling and finishing have remained at elite levels as he has continued to deliver the goods on the biggest of stages. 
 
The Egypt international is the one that not only scores but also creates for others, leading the attacks. Experience and skills help Salah juggle and stay in the race year after year for the individual awards.

Harry Kane Kane&#39;s transfer to Bayern Munich has had a good bearing on his career. He has been at Tottenham for many years and now plays for trophies regularly in Germany. 
 
The linking play that Kane offers and his finishing have been the important addition to Bayern&#39;s attack. His major qualities are consistency in front of goal and leadership: these would land him in the Ballon d&#39;Or run for 2025.

&nbsp;

<h2>8. Bukayo Saka</h2>

Club: Arsenal

Country: England

Games:&nbsp;12

Saka is arguably the main man at Arsenal because what he brings to their attack is just creativity synonymous with consistency. His versatility allows him to play out on the wing, either wide right or left, while his intelligence on the field gives him an extra special quality. 
 
The goals and assists of Saka have proven to be very important in the resurgence of Arsenal and, on an international level, a key player for England.

&nbsp;

<h2>9. Jamal Musiala</h2>

Club: Bayern Munich

Country: Germany

Musiala is an exciting world-class young talent who has risen through the ranks and could rise further to play a pivotal role for Bayern Munich. He excites the onlookers with his dribbling ability, vision, and composure in front of goal on every move he makes. 
 
He is now a starter for club and country and certainly has proved his mettle as a big-game contributor and record-breaker in terms of scoring and/or assisting. His displays suggest a bright future ahead that is already placing him, at 27, in the serious company of Ballon d&#39;Or contenders.

&nbsp;

<img alt="" src="http://vbetnews.com/uploads/2024/Phil_Foden.webp" style="width: 800px; height: 450px;" />

Pep Guardiola has managed Foden&#39;s career well; he has been at the center of Manchester City&#39;s success. That, coupled with flair, creativity, and technical ability, makes him one of the best players of his generation.

Foden has further set himself apart, featuring instrumentally for City both in the Premier League and the Champions League.

Ballon d'Or 2025 Power Rankings: Who will win the award?

&nbsp;

<meta charset="utf-8" />

Manchester City midfielder Rodri won the 2024 Ballon d&rsquo;Or award following his scintillating performances both for Man City and Spain. He won the Premier League title with the Citizens and played a big role in Spain&rsquo;s run to the 2024 European Championship glory in Germany.&nbsp;

Many football fans may have suggested that the Spaniard didn&rsquo;t deserve to win the prestigious football award, as Vinicius Jr. did everything human to win the award, but what he did for City and Spain this year cannot be overlooked.&nbsp;

Rodri has won the 2024 Ballon d&rsquo;Or award, now we have to take a quick peep at some of the top names who are the favorites to battle for the 2025 Ballon d&rsquo;Or award. And this wouldn&rsquo;t come as a surprise that Rodri isn&rsquo;t one of the top names to win the next Ballon d&rsquo;Or as he&rsquo;s currently nursing a long-term ACL injury, and hasn&rsquo;t done much to be considered as one of the top names for next year&rsquo;s award.

<h2 dir="ltr">Ballon d&rsquo;Or 2025 Top Five Favourites</h2>

Below are some of the players that are considered favorites to win the 2025 Ballon d&rsquo;Or award, and Manchester City&rsquo;s Rodri is not one of them, for the reasons mentioned above.

<ul>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	Vinicius Jr: The Real Madrid forward was initially the man to win the 2024 Ballon d&rsquo;Or award after his superb contributions in La Liga and Champions League with the Whites. He scored in the final as Madrid beat Dortmund 2-0, but after a last-minute twist, the Brazilian winger lost the award to Rodri, finishing in 2nd place. However, he is resilient and has already started building up his tally for next year. He scored a hat-trick as Real came from behind to beat Dortmund 5-2 in the UCL. This season so far, Vinicius Jr. has scored five goals and provided four assists in 11 La Liga matches, and three goals in three Champions League matches (correct as of 3/11/2024).
	</li>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	Kylian Mbappe: The former PSG forward has made it clear that his top priority this season is to challenge for the 2025 Ballon d&rsquo;Or award after failing terribly at PSG. And his performances this season suggest he can battle for the award. The 25-year-old striker has scored six goals and provided one assist in 10 La Liga matches this term, and in the Champions League, he has one goal and one assist in three games.
	</li>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	Robert Lewandowski: The Polish striker is not getting much praise for his performances this season with Barcelona. The 36-year-old forward has scored 14 goals and provided 2 assists in 11 La Liga matches. His presence is also felt in the Champions League, with three goals in three matches. His current form suggests he remains one of the favorites to win the 2025 Ballon d&rsquo;Or award, and if he improves further, his chances of winning it will be high.
	</li>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	Lamine Yamal: Is it too early to throw the young Spaniard into the list of favorites for the 2025 Ballon d&rsquo;Or award? No. He may be a teenager, but his performances on the pitch scream otherwise. The Barca winger played a key role in Spain&rsquo;s success in the 2024 Euros, and he&rsquo;s already helping the Catalans to challenge for the La Liga title this season. Yamal&rsquo;s numbers and impact on the pitch make him one of the top favorites to challenge for next year&#39;s prestigious award. In La Liga, the Spain international scored five goals and set up six assists in 11 matches. He has one assist and one goal in three UCL matches already.
	</li>
	<li aria-level="1" dir="ltr">
	Lautaro Martinez: Many football fans were left stunned when they saw that Martinez finished in 8th place in the 2024 Ballon d&rsquo;Or list, given his achievements last season. He finished as the highest goalscorer in Serie A and Copa America and also won both competitions. However, he has already shown this season that he is ready to battle for the award next season, as he currently has four goals and two assists in nine Serie A games and one goal in three Champions League games.&nbsp;
	</li>
</ul>

Some&nbsp;players can also be considered favorites for the 2025 Ballon d&rsquo;Or award as the season advances, and we will make some changes if needed.

Let's take a look at the top 10 list of players who could compete for the award in 2024 due to their form throughout the year.

Kylian Mbapp&eacute;, undoubtedly one of the brightest stars in the&nbsp;world of football, continues to captivate audiences with his exceptional talent and potential.

Alongside the formidable Erling Haaland,&nbsp;the 25-year-old is widely hailed by football fans as the heir apparent to the throne once Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo retire, and is set to carry the torch of greatness.

The 25-year-old&#39;s move to Real Madrid has been one of the most anticipated transfers in recent years.

Becoming as one of the&nbsp;best young attackers of our generation, Erling Haaland has already wrote his name in golden letters among the journey of greats.

His imposing physicality, blistering pace, and clinical finishing make him an absolute nightmare for defenders who dare to stand in his way.

The Norwegian superstar&#39;s&nbsp;debut season with Manchester City in 2023 has been nothing short of extraordinary, leaving an indelible mark on the club&#39;s history.

The 24-year-old sensation has broke numerous records along his journey, firmly cementing his place in the books of English club football by achieving the remarkable milestone of scoring 20 goals in a mere 14 matches, making him the fastest player to achieve such a milestone.

Despite the ongoing critisism, Pep Guardiola&#39;s goal machine started the 2024/25 campaign crazily,&nbsp;already scoring two hat-tricks and seven goals in total in his first three games in the Premier League.

<h2>Club Brugge vs Borussia Dortmund Preview&nbsp;- UEFA Champions League</h2>

Club Brugge will face Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League group stage match versus Borussia Dortmund on 18 September 2024. 
 
It will be the seventh game involving these two teams in the Champions League, and the advantage is generally with Dortmund over Brugge.

The Belgian side have&nbsp;had a little bit of resilience lately and went through to this stage after an impressive show in the playoffs. In fact, they have two wins, a draw, and three losses in their last form.

<h2>Young Boys vs Aston Villa Prediction - UEFA Champions League</h2>

According to new <a href="https://www.vbet.com/en/sports/pre-match/event-view/Soccer/Europe/566/uefa-champions-league/25432787/bsc-young-boys-aston-villa?utm_campaign=Real%20Madrid%20vs%20Vfb%20Stuttgart&amp;utm_medium=organic-social&amp;utm_source=&amp;utm_campaign=Young Boys vs Aston Villa &amp;utm_medium=organic-social&amp;utm_source=" target="_blank">VBET </a>odds, it is pretty clear that Aston Villa is tipped as the favorites to win this game, having <a href="https://www.vbet.com/en/sports/pre-match/event-view/Soccer/Europe/566/uefa-champions-league/25432787/bsc-young-boys-aston-villa?utm_campaign=Real%20Madrid%20vs%20Vfb%20Stuttgart&amp;utm_medium=organic-social&amp;utm_source=&amp;utm_campaign=Young Boys vs Aston Villa &amp;utm_medium=organic-social&amp;utm_source=" target="_blank">1.66</a> to-win odds compared to Young Boys, who are put at <a href="https://www.vbet.com/en/sports/pre-match/event-view/Soccer/Europe/566/uefa-champions-league/25432787/bsc-young-boys-aston-villa?utm_campaign=Real%20Madrid%20vs%20Vfb%20Stuttgart&amp;utm_medium=organic-social&amp;utm_source=&amp;utm_campaign=Young Boys vs Aston Villa &amp;utm_medium=organic-social&amp;utm_source=" target="_blank">4.90</a> odds. A possible draw has been given a <a href="https://www.vbet.com/en/sports/pre-match/event-view/Soccer/Europe/566/uefa-champions-league/25432787/bsc-young-boys-aston-villa?utm_campaign=Real%20Madrid%20vs%20Vfb%20Stuttgart&amp;utm_medium=organic-social&amp;utm_source=&amp;utm_campaign=Young Boys vs Aston Villa &amp;utm_medium=organic-social&amp;utm_source=" target="_blank">4.60</a> odds chance.

Overall, a tense meeting can be expected from the two clubs, given the attacking capabilities of the two teams and their current form. Chances are that both will get a goal each.

Boys are on a rampage in scoring, and Villa has shown they can also provide goals despite some injury worries. The presence of some key injury doubts from either side might compromise the difficulty of keeping a good defense line, which is probably going to increase the scoring.

Predictions score: Young Boys 1 - 3 Aston Villa.

Fifteen associations proudly witness their teams secure direct qualification for the Europa League, showcasing their strength and competitiveness on the continental level.

However, for the remaining 40 associations without direct qualifiers, a captivating twist awaits. These associations find themselves on the edge of their seats as they await the fate of their clubs, who have a chance to enter the Europa Conference League through transfers from the Champions League.

The winners of the Europa Conference League not only secure automatic qualification for the 2024-25 UEFA Europa League group stage but also earn the privilege of facing off against the winners of the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League group stage.

Juventus and UEFA are reportedly nearing an agreement that would result in Bianconeris being excluded from European competitions for the upcoming season as their sole punishment. As a result, Fiorentina would take their place in the Conference League.

Osasuna have been readmitted to the Europa Conference League after filing an appeal to CAS (Court of Arbitration for Sport) against UEFA&#39;s previous ban for match-fixing in 2013. However, UEFA has initiated another disciplinary case against Osasuna for their decision to approach CAS.

Chelsea&#39;s 2023/24&nbsp;campaign have been filled with numerous disappointments, resulting in a&nbsp;sixth-placed finish in the Premier League following 2022/23&#39;s 12th place.

The Blues faced significant challenges and struggled to achieve their desired results throughout the campaign making it particularly frustrating for both the team and supporters.

In preparation for the upcoming season, the West London outfit have made an official statement regarding the hiring of Enzo Maresca as their new head coach, as Mauricio Pochettino, after one season at the club, parted ways with the team.

Arsenal confirmed summer transfers 2024/25

Two European club winners Real Madrid and Atalanta will come up against each other on Wednesday night for the UEFA Super Cup challenge. Based on the history of this competition, the winners of the Champions League have won it 16 times out of 24 attempts, which makes Real Madrid the favourites to win this year&#39;s challenge. However, I advise you to read on to find out if the Serie A outfit has any chance of staging an upset.&nbsp;

<h2>Match Preview: Real Madrid vs Atalanta</h2>

Real Madrid are best described as predator slayers. In their run to the Champions League final, they came up against some of the best teams in the world, but they didn&#39;t waver. The Whites eliminated the likes of Bayern Munich and Manchester City in the knockout stage and went on to beat Bundesliga giants, Borussia Dortmund in the final with a clean sheet (2-0). Can you imagine the audacity?! Away from their European success, Carlo Ancelotti&#39;s side emerged as the La Liga champions, beating the likes of Barcelona and Girona to the title. Needful to add that they also beat Barcelona to win the Super Cup. Despite their successes last season, Real Madrid still had needs to reinforce their squad with the signings of Endrick and long-term transfer target Kylian Mbappe as a free agent. Given the quality in the Real Madrid squad, it would be understandable if teams including Atalanta&nbsp;accept defeat before they enter the pitch to face the Whites who are likely to start with the likes of Vinicius Jr., Mbappe, Rodrygo, and Bellingham behind them for the majority of this season. What chances does Atalanta have to pull off an upset against Real, who lost two and won one of their three friendly matches?

<img height="2000" src="/uploads/uploads-new/posts/Nwoke/1723630737.jpg" width="3000" />

Atalanta also had impressive moments last season. Let&#39;s start with their domestic campaigns. In Serie A, the Black and Blue outfit finished in 4th place, and two factors can get the plaudits for this achievement. Firstly, the teams competing for the top four lost consistency towards the end of the season, exchanging defeats with draws in the majority of the last eight matches.&nbsp;Secondly,&nbsp;Atalanta grabbed the opportunity and maintained consistency during the time and won six and drew one in their last eight matches of the season.&nbsp;Gian Piero Gasperini&#39;s&nbsp;side was also close to winning a domestic cup, but Juventus&#39; defensive resolve was more than what Atalanta had bargained for, and the Coppa Italia final rather ended in a boring 1-0 win for the Old Lady. Now, in Atalanta&#39;s run to the Europa League&nbsp;final, they came up against some good goalscoring teams, but they maintained composure. Gasperini&#39;s side eliminated the likes of Sporting Lisbon, Premier League giants Liverpool, and Marseille in the semi-final. In the final, they even met a stronger side, Bayer Leverkusen, who ended the 2023/2024 Bundesliga campaign without a single defeat despite coming up against Bayern Munich, Stuggart and RB Leipzig twice each. Xabi Alonso&#39;s side was touted as the favorite to win the Europa League final, but Atalanta raised many eyebrows when they outclassed the Germans in both halves with a final score of 3-0. This feat will be around for some years. So in their pre-season, they underperformed with two defeats and one draw. Maybe they were reserving their strength for the UEFA Super Cup game against Real?&nbsp;

<img alt="UEFA Super Cup Prediction: Real Madrid vs Atalanta" src="/uploads/uploads-new/posts/Nwoke/1723630646.jpg" style="width: 2800px; height: 3500px;" />

<h2>Real Madrid vs Atalanta Prediction</h2>

Every proper football fan knows that the best teams do not always win the best competitions. For instance, Manchester City has been the best team in the past four years, but the Citizens have only won the UCL once. Bayer was the best team in the Europa League, but they subsequently fell short in the final against Atalanta. Real Madrid may have the best squad, thanks to the arrival of Kylian Mbappe alongside Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo and Bellingham, but it will be ludicrous to write Atalanta off at once.&nbsp;

Both teams head into this encounter coming off poor pre-season, which makes it tricky to predict the final outcome of this game based on their current form. However, there are two more factors I can use to predict the final result of this showdown. First; the Champions League winners have won the Super Cup 16 times out of 24 times, leaving the Europa League winners with 8 wins. Given this factor, I can safely predict that Real Madrid to win this game. Second; both Real Madrid and Atalanta met in the Champions League in the round of 16 in the 2020/21 season, and Real won both matches. Thanks to this info, I can also say Real will win.&nbsp;

Thanks to the data above, I predict Real Madrid will win with a score of 2-1. I expect Atalanta, who are a good goalscoring side to put a ball past Thibaut Courtois on one occasion.

H2H

Both teams haven&#39;t met on any stage apart from the Champions League, thanks to Real Madrid&#39;s regular participation in the UEFA Champions League. The pair met in the 2020/21 season in the round of 16, but the Whites won both encounters with a final score of 4-1 (3-1, 0-1).

Predicted Starting Lineups

Real Madrid: Courtois, Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Garcia, Tchouameni, Bellingham, Valverde, Vinicius Jr., Mbappe, Rodrygo

Atalanta:&nbsp;

Team News

Real Madrid may be without Camavinga, who suffered a knock to his keen during training in Poland for the Super Cup. 
Atalanta will be without as many as four players in their squad due to injury issues.&nbsp;Gianluca Scamacca suffered a cruciate ligament tear during pre-season, Giorgio Scalvini will miss a couple of months with a similar injury as Scamacca. Nicolo Zaniolo and Rafael Toloi will be on the sidelines with tendonitis and muscle injury, respectively.

Arsenal&#39;s campaign in the Premier League this season has been nothing short of impressive, firmly turning&nbsp;themselves as serious contenders in the English top flight.

The Gunners&#39; comeback to the Champions League after a six-year hiatus sparked major step. Their qualification for the round of 16 emphasizes the team&#39;s revival in European competitions, boosting&nbsp;the excitement surrounding their promising season.

However, the North Londoners once again failed to secure silverware after letting Manchester City to regain the Premier League for the fourth consecutive season.

Furthermore, Arsenal&#39;s ambition was appreciable in the summer transfer window, marked by the major transfers of Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, and Jurrien Timber.&nbsp;

Yet, as with any journey, the Gunners&nbsp;2023/24&nbsp;has been a rollercoaster of ups and challenges. While some newcomers easily integrated into Arteta&#39;s tactics, others faced&nbsp;hurdles in finding their rhythm.

Arsenal pre-season friendlies:  fixtures, dates 2024/25

Manchester United missed the opportunity to start the new season with a trophy when they succumbed to a 7-6 defeat on penalties against Manchester City on Saturday.

Man United were clearly the better team in both halves, but their inability to finish off their chances allowed Man City to win a trophy they hadn&#39;t won in three years straight.&nbsp;

Marcus Rashford missed two big chances, one in each half. If he had missed the pre-season, many fans would have laid his drastic display against the Citizens on lack of fitness, but the Englishman was part of the United team that toured the USA for two weeks. A player of his standard shouldn&#39;t have missed both chances. Never.

That being said. United will start their 2024/25 Premier League campaign on Friday when they host Fulham at Old Trafford, but going forward, some questions need answering.&nbsp;

<h2>Three Questions Manchester United Fans Need Answers&nbsp;To</h2>

Manchester United may have played better than Manchester City, but some fans would claim that was because Pep Guardiola didn&#39;t start with his complete team, and you know what? They aren&#39;t entirely wrong or right.&nbsp;

Why did Lisandro Martinez start at left-back ahead of Harry Amass? When a player plays out of position, they have higher chances of sustaining an injury than when they play their preferred role. Amass worked hard to make the travelling squad to Wembley. It was somewhat clear he&#39;d get the nod from Ten Hag to start against City, with Shaw and Malacia out injured, but the Dutchman did not only surprise the youngster but also part of the United fanbase when Martinez started there. You may say United didn&#39;t concede a goal until late in the game, but you should realise that City didn&#39;t use their best-attacking players. What did Amass didn&#39;t start despite his brilliant displays against Arsenal and Liverpool?&nbsp;

<img alt="Three questions Manchester United fans would struggle to answer after Community Shield loss" src="http://vbetnews.com/uploads/Marcus%20Rashford%20Man%20City.webp" style="width: 711px; height: 447px;" />

Where was Joshua Zirkzee? He wasn&#39;t injured, but yet didn&#39;t take part in the game. Everyone except Ten Hag saw that Marcus was out of his depth, but yet the Dutchman couldn&#39;t bring the former Bologna forward in. What was he scared of? You may want to say the Dutchman didn&#39;t participate in United&#39;s pre-season, but also remember that Dalot, Mainoo, Fernandes and Martinez did not also take part in United&#39;s pre-season, yet they started. Garnacho and Pellistri didn&#39;t as well, but they got playing minutes. Why did Zirkzee not play when it was clear United surely needed more legs upfront?&nbsp;

What position did Mason Mount play vs Man City? Mount looked entirely lost against Man City. I didn&#39;t see much from him, unlike when he played against Arsenal and Liverpool some days ago. Sometimes, he appeared at no.9, and at no.8&nbsp;but had little to no impact on the game. Is is now safe to say that Ten Hag has absolutely no idea how to make Mount and Fernandes shine in the same team?

Three questions Manchester United fans would struggle to answer after Community Shield loss

The 2023&ndash;24 campaign has proven to be challenging for Chelsea, though the final games gave some hope to the fans.&nbsp;

Under the guidance of Mauricio Pochettino, the Blues finished 8th in the Premier League and secured a Europa Conference League spot. However, this result was not impressive enough for the club owners, which eventually saw the club partying ways with the Argentine boss.&nbsp;

Chelsea will kick off the new season under a fresh coach Enzo Maresca, who has already started the pre-season preparations with the first-team squad.&nbsp;

Looking ahead, fans are hopeful that Todd Boehly&#39;s expected heavy investment in new signings will steer the club back to their winning ways.

Chelsea pre-season friendlies: fixtures, dates 2024/25

Tottenham Hotspur began their 2023/24 season positively under new manager Ange Postecoglou.

However, as the season stepped forward, Spurs faced several challenges, finishing the season in the fifth position of the Premier League table, failing to secure a much-desired place in the Champions League.

Despite making early moves in both, the summer and winter&nbsp;transfer windows to sign players like Brennan Johnson, James Maddison, and Timo Werner, the North Londoners&#39; squad still lacks the right players to fully fulfill the Australian manager&#39;s strategy.&nbsp;

With the 2023/24 season came&nbsp;to an end, North Londoners will be eager to kick off the upcoming campaign with improved form. Therefore, the club is set to head on a summer camp to prepare for the 2024/25 season.

The North Londoners faced Queens Park Rangers in their first pre-season match, defeating them 2-0. The winning goals for the Spurs were scored by Bissouma in the 41st minute and Scarlett in the 87th minute.

On July 27, the Premier League team&nbsp;side&nbsp;won the 2024 World Challenge Pre-season Trophy in Japan after beating Vissel Kobe 3-2.

Following the campaign in Japan, Ange&nbsp;Postecoglou and his squad traveled to South Korea to face Team K League. In a&nbsp;seven-goal thriller at the Seoul World Cup Stadium, Spurs beat the Korean side by a score of 4-3.

Unfortunately, Tottenham&nbsp;closed out their&nbsp;pre-season tour in Seoul with a 2-1 defeat by Bayern Munich on August 3.

Tottenham pre-season friendlies: fixtures, dates 2024/25

Manchester United&#39;s first&nbsp;season under manager Erik ten Hag proved to be enjoyable, culminating in the team&#39;s Carabao Cup triumph over Newcastle United and their third-place finish in the Premier League, securing a spot in the Champions League.&nbsp;

However, the start of the 2023/24 campaign presented challenges for the Red Devils as they struggled to maintain their Champions League status and failed to secure a&nbsp;top-four finish in the Premier League.

Despite these difficulties, the team has been striving to improve since the beginning of 2024. It eventually saw them beating Manchester City in the FA Cup final. However,&nbsp;they are quite far from the quality presented by strong rivals.

United made significant signings last summer as Andre Onana and Rasmus H&oslash;jlund joined the squad. While Onana is still in the process of fully integrating into the team, there is optimism surrounding his potential for success in the upcoming season. H&oslash;jlund, despite facing challenges, has begun to adapt to the team, though his goal-scoring form in 2024 was hampered by fitness issues.

With Sir Jim Ratcliffe now among the owners of Manchester United, a major squad overhaul is expected during the upcoming summer transfer window. Players such as Antony, Camemiro, and&nbsp;Rapha&euml;l Varane face uncertain futures at the club, while Anthony Martial is confirmed to leave the club.&nbsp;

Under the Ineos project, the club have completed&nbsp;the signings of Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro, while also targeting two centre-backs in hopes of finalizing the transfer of at least one.&nbsp;

The summer is poised to bring significant changes to both the club and the squad, with time revealing which players will stay and which will depart.

<h2 data-mm-id="_vvxu05d9b" id="_vvxu05d9b">Manchester United&nbsp;pre-season 2024/25&nbsp;confirmed schedule</h2>

Manchester United faced the Norwegian side Rosenborg in their first pre-season fixture, and unfortunately, they were defeated by the rivals.

Their next opponents were Rangers as part of their preparations for the 2024/25 season. It was&nbsp;the first meeting between the two sides since the last showdown in 2010, and United emerged as the victors from the game.&nbsp;

Later on, the Red Devils returned&nbsp;to the United States for the second consecutive year for a series of matches against top-tier oppositions.&nbsp;

Erik ten Hag&#39;s side played against&nbsp;two of their biggest Premier League rivals: Arsenal&nbsp;and Liverpool. Unfortunately for the team, the Red Devils faced defeats in both matches.&nbsp;

Before facing the Reds, Erik ten Hag and his side went face to face against Real Betis at Snapdragon Stadium,&nbsp;where the English giants celebrated a 3-2 victory.

Football is a passionate game, and fans&nbsp;both suffer defeats and rejoice victories. It has also developed into a noteworthy business endeavor in the modern world. 
 
Liverpool is the best example of this blending of business and sport. The Reds are well known for signing top football players from Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold to Virgil van Dijk and Dominik Szoboszlai.

Like many elite clubs, Arne Slot&#39;s team has a tiered wage structure, meaning that certain players make significantly more than their teammates. 
 
Let&#39;s dive in the list of Liverpool&#39;s highest-paid players ahead of the upcoming campaign.

Currently, the highest paid player at Liverpool is Salah, while Van Dijk is the second highest paid player and Trent Alexander-Arnold is third.

TOP 10 highest paid Liverpool players

Manchester United fans are somewhat pleased with Casemiro&#39;s performance in the first half against Arsenal, and some would go as far as to claim it was his best performance in a long time.&nbsp;

The first half ended in a 1-1 draw. Rasmus Hojlund opened the scoring inside ten minutes, but Arsenal would level things 16 minutes later with a controversial goal from Gabriel Jesus.&nbsp;

However, it was Casemiro&#39;s performance that caught the attention of many Manchester United fans. And it wasn&#39;t because he was the best player on the pitch, but because he displayed what he couldn&#39;t do last season - confidence on the ball.&nbsp;

Last season, the former Real Madrid midfielder couldn&#39;t hold on to the ball for five seconds, and that led to United losing possession and getting outplayed in almost every game he played.&nbsp;

In this game against Arsenal, he played with confidence, and that helped United stand tall in the middle of the park. Performing this way against the 2023/2024 Premier League runners-up gives Manchester United a glimpse of hope that the Casemiro that helped them finish 3rd in the league last two seasons might be around the corner to help them out this season.&nbsp;

<img alt="Manchester United fans love what Casemiro did in the first half vs Arsenal" src="http://vbetnews.com/uploads/casemiroo.jpg" style="width: 1080px; height: 602px;" />

However, the Brazilian must maintain his confidence in the second half, as United look to maintain their momentum from the Rangers game last weekend.&nbsp;

Casemiro complex 17 of his attempted 25 passes in the first half, and rated 6.6 according to Sofascore.&nbsp;

This season&#39;s competition will mark the end of the current format of 32 teams competing in the group stage, as UEFA has announced that the new format will have a 36-team league phase.&nbsp;

The new format will also be different in the sense that teams can no longer transfer to the Europa League knockout stage from the Champions League knckout stage. In this case, last tournament&#39;s winneres Atalanta cannot defend their title.&nbsp;

Which teams are in the UEFA Europa League 2024/25? Confirmed clubs, group stage field, tournament rules and format

Arsenal will want to continue from where they left off last season when they face a Premier League outfit, AFC Bournemouth in the USA on Thursday morning.&nbsp;

The Gunners maintained maximum consistency for the majority of last season, but a dip in form in 2024 saw them surrender their lead to Manchester City, who went on to win the title for the fourth time in a row.

Arsenal will want to maintain maximum consistency for next season as well, but they will rather start to build that in pre-season when they come up against Bournemouth, Manchester United, Bayer Leverkusen, Liverpool and Lyon.&nbsp;

Bournemouth also had a couple of bright moments last season, including their win over Manchester United. It is relatively logical to expect the Cherries to build on their last-season form in a bid to fight for a place in the top ten in the 2024/25 Premier League season.&nbsp;

So, they will make this encounter as hard as possible for the Gunners to control, which suggests that Mikel Arteta would prefer to start with a strong team.&nbsp;

<a href="http://vbetnews.com/tag/arsenal" target="_blank">Arsenal </a>will not have both the likes of Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice present in the team, due to the pair&#39;s involvement at Euro2024. Both players helped England reach the European Championship final, but couldn&#39;t do more than that. Arsenal&#39;s first-choice&nbsp;and second-choice goalkeepers David Raya and Aaraon Ramsdale are also not part of the team that travelled to the USA for the club&#39;s pre-season tour, as a result of their involvement as well at Euro2024.&nbsp;

However, the team available at Arteta&#39;s disposal is strong enough to help the Gunners get off to a winning start in pre-season.&nbsp;

<h2>Predicted Arsenal starting lineup</h2>

Arsenal will want to start their pre-season with a win, as they have to face Manchester United, who won the last time they met in a friendly game, a couple of days later.

Goalkeeper:&nbsp;Nygaard 
Defenders: White, Timber, Kiwior, Zinchenko 
Midfielders: Jorginho, Partey, Odegaard 
Forwards: Trossard, Jesus, Nketiah

<h2>Arsenal vs Bournemouth Prediction</h2>

Both teams are not match fit, which suggests there will be a couple of mistakes at both ends. It is fair to expect both teams to get on the score sheet and either team to win. Arsenal will be without four senior players, and what are the chances they can play well in the second half if Arteta takes out his key players in the break?&nbsp;

I would rather expect three or more goals to be scored here than to expect either side to win this game. My prediction for Arsenal vs Bournemouth is over 3.5 goals.&nbsp;

Predicted Arsenal starting lineup against AFC Bournemouth - pre-season friendly

Chelsea will be one of the teams Manchester City and Arsenal will look at, thanks to the number of signings they have completed this summer.&nbsp;

The Blues may have finished in 6th position and qualified for the UEFA Conference League, the owner Todd Bohely sent his message across when he parted ways with former boss Mauricio Pochettino.&nbsp;

It shows that the American owner doesn&#39;t want anything short of a top-four finish at least, given the number of signings he has made over the past two seasons.

Maresca, Chelsea&#39;s new manager, is aware of this standard, which is why every team in the Premier League will give Chelsea as much attention as they will do to Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal and Man United, having won two trophies in two years.

So, the former Leicester City manager will want to start his USA tour on a high by beating League One&nbsp;outfit, Wrexham. And he will struggle to do that if he doesn&#39;t start with quality players.&nbsp;

Wrexham have outdone themselves, having gained two promotions from the National League to League One in two years. So the Blues cannot take it lightly against such an opponent.

Chelsea have only four senior players out due to their involvement in the Copa America and Euro 2024, but the players available at Maresca&#39;s disposal should be too strong for Wrexham to handle.&nbsp;

<h2>How should Chelsea line up vs Wrexham?</h2>

I think Maresca will prepare the Chelsea team to play with the same pattern Leicester City played under his watch last season. High-pressing and possession football.&nbsp;

His starting lineup will be required to play exactly to the coach&#39;s instructions, which suggests to me that the former Foxes coach will start with his best players, so his second team can be able to blend in.

Goalkeeper: Sanchez 
Defenders: James, Colwill, Disasi, Chilwell&nbsp; 
Midfielders: Lavia, Dewsbury-Hall, Ugochukwu 
Forwards: Sterling, Nkunku, Mudryk

I think Maresca will want to get the best out of Mudryk, given the amount <a href="http://vbetnews.com/tag/chelsea" target="_blank">Chelsea </a>paid for his services a couple of transfer windows ago. Madueke should play more, but I think the coach will want to see if Sterling can put a different shift under his watch.

Nkunku starting ahead of Jackson shouldn&#39;t attract questions, but James will have to avoid injuries if he wants to remain as Chelsea&#39;s first-choice fullback ahead of Gusto, who was astounding last term.

<img alt="How Chelsea should lineup against Wrexham" src="/uploads/uploads-new/posts/Nwoke/1721831883.jpg" style="width: 1650px; height: 2061px;" />

<h2>Chelsea vs Wrexham Prediction</h2>

This encounter will produce goals because both teams are playing complete attacking football. I heavily think Wrexham can get on the scoreboard, but Chelsea to win it easily. I predict a 4-1 victory for Chelsea.

VBET Turns 21: Celebrate with us and Play for Fun!

Manchester United are showing signs of improvement, thanks to their first-half performance against Rangers in their second pre-season game, but can the Red Devils get better? I think so, but Erik ten Hag will likely make some bold calls for this to happen.&nbsp;

Man United are not actively searching for a new attacking player following the recruitment of Joshua Zirzkee from Bologna, but can the Dutchman be a regular starter at Old Trafford and help the club fight for the Europa League and FA Cup at least? We will find out down below.&nbsp;

So we are not expecting any new attacking player, and somehow it is understandable, given the number of attackers currently at the club. We have the likes of Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnahco playing from the left wing, and Jadon Sancho and Amad Diallo playing from the right wing. Antony? We will find out if Ten Hag can take a different look at another quality of the Brazilian.

I suggest that Ten Hag try a different formation, and I will explain every selection I make. This new formation will help Manchester United dominate matches, and the arrival of Leny Yoro compliments it a lot.&nbsp;

So what is this new formation? I think a formation of 4-1-3-2 will work wonders and I will explain why. Looking at the formation alone tells you&nbsp;this is an attacking approach, which doesn&#39;t guarantee the team clean sheets. Who needs a clean sheet if the team regularly scores three to four goals in nearly every match?&nbsp;

I said on Facebook a couple of days ago following the signing of Zirkzee that Manchester United&#39;s attacking problems don&#39;t lie on the strikers but on the wingers. And that is because Rashford is not a creative winger, the same as Garnacho. Antony has struggled to do that from the left, as he always prefers to play wide. Sancho is only getting back into the team, and can he make a change? Amad Diallo is the only winger we can rely on for creativity but there&#39;s a way to get Antony to start creating chances, and I explained how he can do that down below.&nbsp;

<h2>How Manchester United Should Lineup for 2024/2025 Season</h2>

So Man United are not done signing new players. Manuel Ugarte remains strongly linked with a move to the club. Sources said he is likely to be at United this summer, so it is proper to start making plans for him ahead of the season that will start in August.&nbsp;

Andre Onana: The best goalie at the club obviously. He made 3.94 saves per game in 38 Premier League matches last season, and also made 3 saves in the first half alone against Rangers. No questions about why he is in goal.

Dalot: I prefer him to Wan-Bissaka for obvious reasons. I am suggesting an attacking formation, so I should field fullbacks that give give support to the attackers as well, and that&#39;s one of the areas Dalot beats Aaron Wan-Bissaka.&nbsp;

Leny Yoro: I said on Facebook some hours ago that if his first-hald performance against Rangers is the best he can deliver, then there&#39;s a massive chance Harry Maguire or Victor Lindelof will start a couple of Premier League matches, because his display against the Scottish side was a relatively normal performance that we see from Maguire and Lindelof. However, I expect him to improve on that, and thanks to his pace, Man Utd can keep a high line, which can complement the formation I am proposing. He is good on the ball and can overlap into the defensive midfielder to help out or make some recoveries. His pace is one of the reasons I put him ahead of Maguire and Lindelof.&nbsp;

Lisandro Martinez: The best defender at the club and one of the best in the world if we take Pep Guardiola&#39;s statement after the FA Cup final last season seriously. Martinez is fast, good on the ball and has the ability to remain calm under pressure and build attacks from the back, thanks to his passing accuracy between thin lines. Enough of the hype. He easily fits into this formation.&nbsp;

Luke Shaw: one of the best fullbacks in the world when fit. He is very good on the ball, and a good passer of the ball. He overlaps a lot because he is hellbent on creating chances. He is good defensively as well, so I expect him to start when he is fit.&nbsp;

<img height="2061" src="/uploads/uploads-new/posts/Nwoke/1721566086.jpg" width="1650" />

Manuel Ugarte: I have high hopes that he will join the club this summer. He is a fighter and also a good passer. I want him as the lone defensive midfielder. He is a good tackler as well, something we cannot say about Kobbie Mainoo, who is very good at carrying the ball forward. In this situation, I will prefer him ahead of Mainoo. Both players will substitute themselves, but I&#39;ll prefer Ugarte to guide the defense line than Mainoo.&nbsp;

Antony: now this is where this content gets interesting. You may wonder why Antony of all players gets the nod from me. Antony has failed to be a constant threat from the right wing, but what if we have looked at him the wrong way? He is still young, so we can try him elsewhere. Antony has huge crossing ability. We didn&#39;t see it from the Brazilian last season because he played in a position where he was too relaxed on holding on to the ball. It he plays from the left wing, then one of his primary roles is to cross the ball into the area, where two centre forwards will be lurking around for the cross or the second ball. Another reason I put him there is that, he is energetic. He helps at the back a lot, something we cannot say about Marcus Rashford. So, imagine having a player who is ready to cover up for Shaw, and is ready to cross the ball into the area when he is on the run? That&#39;s hard to turn down. Antony to provide support at the back and create chances upfront. I don&#39;t need him to score goals. Just cross the ball into the area, something Rashford fails to do.&nbsp;

Bruno Fernandes: Of course any lineup without the Portuguese midfielder in it, fails instantly. He is the pillar in the team. His creativity is beyond normal. I think he will create more chances when he has two forwards ahead of him always. So, Fernandes to play behind two attackers.&nbsp;

Amad Diallo: He is the best winger at the club, when it comes to creating goal-scoring chances. He provided three chances in the first half against Rangers, and scored a goal for himself too. He will be to Manchester United whan Bukayo Saka is to Arsenal. Amad&#39;s ability to cut in with the ball will be beneficial to Fernandes and the two strikers up front. When he cuts in, he has three players waiting for the pass, plus Antony on the far end. Needful to add that one of the reasons I want him to start ahead of anyone on the right wing is because he helps the defense as well, something Sancho cannot relate.&nbsp;

Alejandro Garnacho: Calm down. The reason I want Garnacho upfront is because he has eyes on goal, and is not scared of having a goal with both feet. He presses more than Rashford, and having two strikers upfront requires both players to be good pressers. Garnacho will never stop running until the last minute, something Rashford cannot relate. He is improving, but in matches that he cannot pose as a threat, Zirkzee or Rashford can come in.&nbsp;

Rasmus Hojlund: He may not have impressed many fans last season, but one thing that is certain about the Danish forward is his press. The lad can press until the last minute. He is the best player I can pair him with Garnacho upfront. I haven&#39;t watched Zirkzee, but I expect Hojlund to improve on his last season form that handed him 15 goals in all competitions.&nbsp;

<h3>Summary&nbsp;</h3>

This is an attacking formation that doesn&#39;t guarantee clean sheets, but only goals. Some people may say having only one defensive midfielder will expose the backline, but why aren&#39;t these lost saying that having five players in the opposition box will rather cause more damage? I mean having five players running at you relentlessly will not let any opposition team send many players out to press United defense. We defend well when we attack, so in this situation Manchester United will rather think about pressing regularly than defending. There&#39;s no point having fast centre-backs and still play defensive football.&nbsp;

Leny Yoro: How Manchester United should lineup in 2024/2025 season

Amad Diallo was the best player on the pitch in the first half against Rangers Glasgow, and every Manchester United fan and Erik ten Hag would be proud of how the Ivorian approached the game.

Amad Diallo has proved once again that it is in his natural football ability to cut in effortlessly and create chances or score goals. For instance, the game against Rangers&nbsp;may be a friendly one, but what he displayed in the first half was exactly what many United fans have been expecting from Antony, who joined the cluh three seasons ago.

His ability to cut in with the ball regularly helped&nbsp;him create chances in the first half. He created United&#39;s first chance for Wheatley but the youngster&#39;s effort was blocked. He created a chance for himself as well, and his effort was blocked by Rangers croward penalty box.&nbsp;

The ivorian kept on asking question from the right wing, and he finally got what he needed &mdash; a goal.&nbsp;

Minutes later, he created another big chance for Jadon Sancho, but the England international&#39;s effort went over the bar.&nbsp;

His playing style is everything Manchester United fans would want from a winger, and it&#39;s a shame United didn&#39;t have him much last season due to injury issues, and Antony, who was fit the majority of last season, has struggled to adapt to this style of play.&nbsp;

<img alt="Erik ten Hag loves what Amad Diallo did in the first half vs Rangers Glasgow" src="/uploads/uploads-new/posts/Nwoke/1721493160.jpg" style="width: 1080px; height: 620px;" />

Erik ten Hag was visibly well pleased with the former Atalanta forward&#39;s performance, his team-mates as well. However, the big question remains; will Erik ten Hag trust him enough to start him in Premier League matches?&nbsp;

His style of play is the same as Bukayo Saka of Arsenal, and having this kind of player in a Man Utd team will obviously help the Red Devils unlock almost any defense, as it would be too hard to stop a player who regularly cuts into the opposition box with aims to score and create chances.&nbsp;

Amad Diallo was rated 7.9 by Sofascore for his first-half performance against Rangers, and thanks to his goal, he rated the highest.

Real Madrid are yet to make&nbsp;an official announcement regarding their four captains for the upcoming 2024/2025 season.

Following the departure of the club&#39;s&nbsp;primary captain Nacho Fernandez,&nbsp;Luka Modric is set to become Los Blancos&#39; captain for the new season.

The selection of captains at Santiago Bernabeu is strictly based on seniority within the club. As the longest-serving player, the Croatian international has been entrusted with&nbsp;the armband.

&nbsp;

<h3>Who will be Real Madrid&rsquo;s vice-captain?</h3>

Dani Carvajal will step up as vice-captain, having frequently worn the armband last season due to his regular starts. He is expected to do so again with Modrić no longer a consistent starter.

The Spain international&#39;s&nbsp;time as captain was briefly cut in when he departed for Bayer Leverkusen on a permanent transfer, although the La Liga giants&nbsp;retained a buyback option and eventually the player came back to Spain.

Despite the defender being an academy product who developed at Valdebebas, he ranks below the Croatian maestro in the captaincy hierarchy.

Moreover, since Toni&nbsp;Kroos has retired from football, Lucas V&aacute;zquez, who joined the club in 2015, will become the third captain. For the fourth captain,&nbsp;the club and locker room have chosen Fede Valverde.

&nbsp;

Luka Modric is set to be confirmed as Real Madrid&#39;s captain for the 2024/25 season. However, the midfield maestro is yet to sign a contract extension with the La Liga champion.

&nbsp;

<h2>Real Madrid&nbsp;captains in the last five years</h2>

Manchester United are increasingly likely to field a different team against Rangers Glasgow as a couple of senior players missed the trip to Scotland.

The official Man United website revealed earlier today the 26 players Erik ten Hag decided to travel with to Scotland for what will be their second pre-season friendly match after their 1-0 defeat to Rosenborg earlier this week.

Marcus Rashford, who played 45 minutes against Rosenborg, wasn&#39;t part of the travelling team. As a result, he is unlikely to feature against the Scottish giants. Rashford was relatively silent against the Norwegian side, although he was subjected to several mean tackles from the home team.

Hopefully, his omission from the team doesn&#39;t come as a big blow, as losing a first-team player to injury before the season starts will not be what Ten Hag had prayed for.&nbsp;

According to the <a href="https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/man-utd-squad-for-pre-season-friendly-v-rangers-in-edinburgh-20-july-2024?utm_campaign=ManUtd&amp;utm_medium=post&amp;utm_source=twitter" target="_blank">Man United official website</a>, Rashford, alongside Antony and Victor Lindelof will miss the game with small niggles.

Scott McTominay, who returned to the mix this weekend missed the trip. The Scottish midfielder isn&#39;t match-fit yet, so the Dutchman saw the need to leave him behind.&nbsp;

Manchester United will have a couple of senior players to face Rangers, with the likes of Sancho, Casemiro, Onana, Mount, and Wan-Bissaka all available.&nbsp;

Following their tight 1-0 loss to Rosenborg, the Red Devils cannot afford to lose their second pre-season game in a row. To some fans, this won&#39;t be a problem if it happens, as they would rather want to watch interesting football from the FA Cup champions.&nbsp;

During the summer of 2022,<a href="https://twitter.com/Arsenal/status/1553382222152990720?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1553382222152990720%7Ctwgr%5E702c909e56dc386da67058a9bd864256e95ebb21%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fif-cdn.com%2FRH4aEXF%3Fapp%3D1" target="_blank"> Arsenal made a significant announcement</a>, introducing Martin Odegaard as their newly appointed captain for the 2022/23 season.

This decision placed him alongside an esteemed group of the Gunners&#39; legends including Tony Adams, Patrick Vieira, Thierry Henry, Cesc Fabregas, Robin van Persie, and current coach Mikel Arteta.

Following Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang&#39;s departure to Barcelona in 2022, the Premier League outfit had been operating without a permanent captain.

However, the decision to bestow the captaincy upon the former Real Madrid star was a brilliant move by Mikel Arteta. It granted the Norwegian talent the confidence and responsibility necessary to thrive as a leader, both on and off the pitch.

Who is Arsenal captain for 2024/25 season?

Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva and Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes have exchanged nicknames after the pair helped Portugal reach the quarter-final of the Euro2024 campaign.&nbsp;

Portugal had to wait until the penalty shootout to eliminate a well-organised Slovenia side on Monday night 3-0 on penalties, although the game had a couple of twists.&nbsp;

Cristiano Ronaldo missed a penalty in extra time that could have prevented Portugal from engaging in a penalty shoot-out against Slovenia, while Pepe made a huge error at the back that gave Slovenia a chance to take a shock lead.

Despite these intense moments, Portugal went through to the quarter-final after they scored three penalties in a row, and three penalty losses in a row for Slovenia made it possible for Roberto Martinez&#39;s side to go through.&nbsp;

Cristiano Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva were Portugal&#39;s first three players to score from the penalty spot, and both midfielders took to social media to troll themselves.&nbsp;

<h2>Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva nicknames</h2>

Man City star Bernardo Silva nicknamed Bruno Fernandes as Penalty Professor Penandes, while Fernandes nicknamed Silva as Benandes.&nbsp;

Bernardo Silva wrote on Instagram: With my friend and penalty professor Bruno Penandes

Bruno Fernandes quoted and reposted: Benandes &amp; Penandes

Both midfielders have helped Portugal reach the last eight of the Euro2024 Championship and will want to help their country advance even further.

Portugal will face France next in the quarter-final, and both midfielders will be eager to display their class.

EURO 2024 is exciting with VBET

Novak Djokovic has won 24 Grand Slam singles title, six ATP Finals title, 39 ATP World Tour Masters 1000 series titles, 15 ATP World Tour 500 tournaments, and has held the No. 1 spot in the ATP rankings for over 200 weeks.

Rafael Nadal has won 22 Grand Slam singles titles, 36 ATP World Tour Masters 1000 titles, 23 ATP World Tour 500 tournaments, and the 2008 Olympic gold medal in singles.

Roger Federer has won 20 Grand Slam singles, six ATP finals, 28&nbsp;ATP World Tour Masters 1000 titles, and a record ATP World Tour 500 titles. However, there are a top ranking in tennis, that these three best tennis players cannot get a spot. It is about the height, and as we know, that one should be given by nature.

Is the height important? Tennis demands physical preparedness, especially right now, when tennis has in many ways evolved over the years. Besides, the physical awareness, technology has played a huge role in this evolution; rackets, strings, clothing and training techniques are all responsible for the increased level with which tennis is now played. According to the research, on average, tall players can serve faster and more effectively than can shorter players. Short players who succeed on tour do so by returning and moving better than taller players. An inch or two above six feet (a range between 185 and 190 cm) is good, but much more than that is too much. No player above 6&rsquo;4&Prime; (193 cm, Marat Safin) has ever reached No. 1 in the ATP rankings. There have certainly been successful tennis players both short and tall throughout history.

Ten Hag moved to the Theatre of Dreams last year from Ajax, and he helped the Red Devils to a 3rd place finish in the Premier League, runners-up of the FA Cup, after losing the final to Man City 2-1 and Carabao Cup winners, but last season was a rollercoaster.

The Dutchman had to battle with several injury issues and a lack of certainty on whether the Glazers family would sell the club or not and Jadon Sancho drama, but yet he went on to win the FA Cup following a tight 2-1 win over Manchester City, and finished in the 8th position.

Following the conclusion of the FA Cup final, INEOS made it clear that they would take a long review of how Erik ten Hag performed at the club and decide if the former Ajax boss would continue his stay at the club or not.

So far, the INEOS haven&#39;t arrived at any conclusion, although the fact the Dutchman won the FA Cup has made the decision even harder.&nbsp;

According to Chris Wheeler, via Daily Mail, the INEOS haven&#39;t sacked Ten Hag yet because the new Man Utd owners know they risk a backlash from <a href="http://vbetnews.com/tag/manchester-united" target="_blank">Manchester United</a> supporters if they sack Erik Ten Hag.&nbsp;

And that is because of what the Dutch manager achieved last season even though the club had to deal with over 70 injuries, including Bruno Fernandes, who missed two league matches through an injury.

It was speculated this week that Erik ten Hag, who is in Manchester following his return from his holiday last week, and his coaching staff will know their fate this week.

Why Manchester United chiefs haven't sacked Erik ten Hag yet?

Liverpool finished 3rd in Premier League and make their return to Champions League, after a year of absence.

The Reds said goodbye to Jurgen Klopp following the end of the season and appointed&nbsp;Arne Slot as they new head coach.

Ahead of the new season, Liverpool are expected to be active in summer transfer window.

<h2>What is the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 format?</h2>

<ul>
	<li>A 36-team &quot;league&quot; rated using a single table.</li>
	<li>There were eight games played between two teams from four distinct pots.</li>
	<li>The top eight rated teams will proceed to the regular UCL round of 16.</li>
	<li>Positions nine through twenty-four compete in a two-legged playoff to advance to the round of sixteen.</li>
	<li>Eight play-off winners go to the UCL round of 16, while the losers are sent to the Europa League.</li>
	<li>Positions 25&ndash;36 are eliminated from all categories of European soccer for the season.</li>
	<li>The familiar two-legged knockout format of round of 16, quarterfinals, and semifinals returns to choose two finalists.</li>
</ul>

The new structure, termed the &quot;Swiss&quot; system, will include 36 clubs in its group stage, four more than the present model, and those teams would compete in a single large ranking known as the &quot;League Stage&quot; rather than the group stage.

The scoring system remains three points for a victory and one point for a draw, and matches will be drawn, with the 36 clubs divided into four groups of nine, with each club facing two opponents from each of the other pots. After eight games, the top eight will go straight to the round of 16, while teams ranked ninth to 24th will compete in a play-off round, with each tie played over two legs.

The winners of the play-offs advance to the round of 16, while the losers play in the UEFA Europa League, and clubs ranked 25th to 36th are eliminated from European competition completely. At that time, the usual knockout system resumes, with the round of 16, quarterfinals, semifinals, and final serving as the UCL route for all competitors.

Which teams are in the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League? Confirmed clubs, group stage field, tournament rules and format

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has reacted to his side&#39;s defeat to Manchester United in the FA Cup final and explained how he felt as he saw the Red Devils lift the trophy.&nbsp;

Man United went against every odd to beat the Premier League champions, Man City, at Wembley on Saturday evening, thanks to goalscorers Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo.&nbsp;

United may not have got as many ball possession as Man City, but they recorded double figure of shots against the Citizens, same as Pep Guardiola&#39;s and created as much chances as the Blues, but somehow, Pep still believes the better team didn&#39;t win the trophy today.&nbsp;

City were limited to only one shot on target in the first half, whilst United scored three goalsl but Marcus Rashford&#39;s goal was chalked off due to Garnacho assisting from an offside position.&nbsp;

Despite that, Pep Guardiola still thinks his Manchester City should have won the cup, thanks to the number of chances his side created in the second half, although the majority of them were off target.

After the game, his conversation with a BBC journalist;&nbsp;&bull; You said earlier this week if you had to lose the final you want them to be better, not because of yourselves, do feel this was the case today? &nbsp;

- Guardiola: &quot;No.&quot;

&bull; You don&#39;t think Manchester United were better? &nbsp;

- Guardiola: &quot;No.&quot;

&bull; You had to watch Manchester United lift the trophy from down the pitch, could this motivate your players for next season?

&nbsp;- Guardiola: &quot;No, we don&#39;t play against Manchester United, we play for ourselves. What Manchester United do is none of our business.&quot;

Pep Guardiola makes huge claim after FA Cup final loss to Manchester United

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has dropped some comments regarding the reports that emerged this week that his FA Cup final game against Manchester City would be his last game as United boss.

Reports emerged across social media that Ten Hag will be sacked this season, after his FA Cup final against Manchester City, due to how United performed this season.

The Red Devils crashed out of the Champions League in the group stage and finished in the 8th position in the Premier League, and many would claim that United&#39;s struggles this season were down to the huge number of injury issues.&nbsp;

Somehow, Ten Hag still managed his depleted squad and got a huge 2-1 win over the Premier League champions, Manchester City, at Wembley on Saturday afternoon.

Many United fans are thinking twice about saying their farewells to Ten Hag, and the Dutchman has no clues if he will remain at the Theatre of Dreams next season.

Speaking after the game, he said: &quot;I don&#39;t know. For me, this is a project. When I came in we were a mess, now we are in a better state.&quot;

Ten Hag also warned British media and pundits over their hype on Kobbie Mainoo, as they can have an impact on the young star&#39;s progress.

The Man United academy graduate scored the second goal for Manchester United, and the former Ajax manager said:&nbsp;&quot;I had such joy watching Kobbie Mainoo today, but we have to be calm.

You guys in England are very good in pushing players, and managers.. and then you hammer them when they have 2 bad performances.&quot;

Erik ten Hag reacts to reports claiming he's been sacked by Manchester United

Erik ten Hag is likely to manage his last Manchester United game today against Manchester City and he will likely make it one to hardly forget.&nbsp;

With some players back from injury, there&#39;s a chance we can see good football from Man United, just as we witnessed them beat the likes of Newcastle United and Brighton and Hove Albion in two weeks.&nbsp;

However, if Man Utd have any chance of beating Manchester City today, then it is heavily relied on how Ten Hag will set up his midfield, defence and attack.

I will personally drop Kobbie Mainoo for Amrabat and Casemiro double pivot, and drop Garnacho for Marcus Rashford but in this case, we are suggesting how Ten Hag could lineup.&nbsp;

He&#39;s fond of having Andre Onana in goal, which is okay. Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, and Diogo Dalot at the back.&nbsp;

<img alt="FA Cup Final: How Erik ten Hag's Manchester United should lineup vs Man City" src="http://vbetnews.com/uploads/600/GettyImages-1246225478-1920x1280.jpg" style="width: 1920px; height: 1280px;" />

Casemiro, Kobbie Mainoo and Bruno Fernandes in the midfield, will likely be what Ten Hag will go for.

And in the attack, the Dutchman is likely to give the nod to Amad, Hojlund and Garnacho, due to their current form.

Marcus Rashford only returned from injury and didn&#39;t start against Brighton last time out.&nbsp;

But I think Rashford should start ahead of Garnacho due to the experience, ability to decide game and fear factor.&nbsp;

FA Cup Final: How Erik ten Hag's Manchester United should lineup vs Man City

The football world faced quite shocking news following the end of the Premier League campaign. Mauricio Pochettino, in charge of the Blues, led the team to a 6th place finish, which secured a European spot for the team (potentially in the Europa League).

Despite the latest exit talks, Pochettino&#39;s job was expected to be safe after these results. However, two days after the Premier League Finale, Chelsea decided to part ways with the Argentine manager.

As Pochettino&#39;s time at Chelsea came to an end, Todd Boehly will be on the lookout for a new manager ahead of the 2024/25 season.

&nbsp;

<h2>Who could replace Mauricio Pochettino at Chelsea?</h2>

<h3>1. Sebastian Hoeness</h3>

<img alt="" src="http://vbetnews.com/uploads/2022/VbetNews%20September/Sebastian_Hoeness.webp" style="width: 800px; height: 450px;" />

Image Source: Getty Images&nbsp;

Sebastian Hoeness has done an excellent job at Stuttgart, leading them to a second-place finish in the Bundesliga this season, even surpassing Bayern Munich.&nbsp;

Despite having a less attractive squad for the 2023/24 season, he managed to achieve notable results. The 42-year-old ability to build a team may positively affect the Blues&#39; &nbsp;young squad and give them the right direction for development.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<h3>2. Enzo Maresca</h3>

<img alt="" src="http://vbetnews.com/uploads/2022/Enzo_Maresca.webp" style="width: 800px; height: 450px;" />

Image Source: Getty Images&nbsp;

Enzo Maresca is among Chelsea&#39;s top three candidates to replace Mauricio Pochettino following the head coach&#39;s latest success with Leicester City. &nbsp;He has done a great job by leading the Foxes straight back to the Premier League after last year&#39;s relegation.&nbsp;

However, those selecting Maresca as one of the top contenders may have favored a safer choice. His success with Leicester, while commendable, was seen as more respectable due to the circumstances, which doesn&#39;t guarantee him a successful spell at Stamford Bridge.&nbsp;

<h3>&nbsp;</h3>

<h3>3. Roberto de Zerbi&nbsp;</h3>

<img alt="" src="http://vbetnews.com/uploads/2022/VbetNews%20September/Roberto-de_Zerbi.webp" style="width: 800px; height: 450px;" />

Image Source: Getty Images&nbsp;

Roberto De Zerbi is quite good at motivating players, employing effective tactics, and making critical decisions under pressure. All these skills have helped the Italian boss lead Brighton to their first-ever European football following superb displays.&nbsp;

Lately, there have been rumors linking De Zerbi to Chelsea. The manager could decide on accepting the job if an offer comes following his departure from Brighton.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<h3>4. Kieran McKenna</h3>

<img alt="" src="http://vbetnews.com/uploads/2022/Kieran_McKenna.webp" style="width: 800px; height: 449px;" />

Image Source: Getty Images&nbsp;

After Roberto de Zerbi&#39;s exit, Brighton are eager to appoint Kieran McKenna as their next manager. However, a well-planned offer from Chelsea could really change the manager&#39;s mind.&nbsp;

McKenna perfectly aligns with Chelsea&#39;s desire to sign a youthful and skilled coach to lead their squad. However, it could be risky for the Blues to hire Ipswich Town boss and expect him to meet the high standards set by the club board.

&nbsp;

<h3>5. Thomas Frank&nbsp;</h3>

<img alt="" src="http://vbetnews.com/uploads/2022/VbetNews%20September/2022-brentford-manager-thomas-frank-757769555-2.webp" style="width: 800px; height: 592px;" />

Image Source: Getty Images&nbsp;

Thomas Frank experienced a challenging season with Brentford, narrowly escaping relegation in the Premier League. Despite this, his six-year managerial spell has seen the team progress a lot.&nbsp;

Now, Frank is being eyed for larger managerial roles, with Chelsea among those interested. While Frank&#39;s style of play at Brentford tends to be more direct, there&#39;s potential for it to evolve with access to higher-caliber players.

&nbsp;

<h3>* Additional Option</h3>

<h3>Jose Mourinho</h3>

<img alt="" src="http://vbetnews.com/uploads/2022/VbetNews%20September/mourinho.webp" style="width: 800px; height: 450px;" />

Image Source: Getty Images&nbsp;

Mourinho, who secured the Premier League title with Chelsea in the 2004/05 season, is an established manager with multiple league triumphs in both England and Italy. A consistent concern in his managerial career has been his requirement for a substantial budget to construct his team. However, Chelsea are a club capable of meeting his financial demands.&nbsp;

It is crucial to acknowledge that Mourinho&#39;s&nbsp;recent tenure at Stamford Bridge&nbsp;has not been particularly successful. This could potentially cast doubt on his ability to replicate his past success at the club.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Five managers who could replace Mauricio Pochettino at Chelsea

Arsenal have been in quite an impressive form this season, however, the North Londoners could not overcome Pep Guardiola&#39;s Premier Lague glory as this year too, they ended up being second in the competition.

With a blend of tactical sharpness and attacking flair, Mikel Arteta&#39;s side were facing challenges in the English league while also balancing European football, as they have managed to fight until&nbsp;the Champions League&#39;s round of 16s.

Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, and Jurrien Timber were among the high-profile signings made by the club during its most recent summer transfer window, demonstrating the club&#39;s desire to strengthen their squad for both domestic and European competitions. These moves added fresh talent to the squad and raised hopes of scaling new heights in the 2023&ndash;24 season.

However, the journey has been a blend of successes and obstacles for the London giants. While some newcomers seamlessly adapted to the squad, others faced difficulties in finding their form. The temporary addition of David Raya on loan, with plans for a permanent deal, further underscored the club&#39;s commitment to securing top talent.

The Gunners&nbsp;find&nbsp;themselves&nbsp;amidst a flurry of transfer rumors as they eye a potential summer fresh squad-building process. High-profile names such as Adrien Rabiot, Ivan Toney, Pedro Neto, Borja Mayoral, Martin Zubimendi, and Nico Williams have all been linked with a move to North London.

These stars could bring a mix of experience, talent, and potential to Mikel Arteta&#39;s team. On the other hand,&nbsp;certain names like C&eacute;dric Soares, Jakub Kiworr and Fabio Vieira are rumored to be on the departure list, possibly paving the way for new arrivals.

Nevertheless, as the 2023/24 season draws to a close, we present our predicted lineup for Arsenal&#39;s upcoming 2024/25 campaign, spotlighting the possible departures from the club and prospective additions to the squad.

Below, <a href="https://www.vbetnews.com/posts/news" target="_blank">VBETNews</a> takes a look at how Arsenal should line up for the majority of their Premier League and European Cup matches in 2024-25:

&nbsp;

<h2><meta charset="utf-8" />How Arsenal should line up for 2024/25 
&nbsp;</h2>

<h3>GK: David Raya</h3>

<img alt="How Arsenal could line up for 2024-25 season" src="http://vbetnews.com/uploads/david%20raya.webp" style="width: 800px; height: 450px;" />

Image source: Getty Images

David Raya has made a move to Arsenal&nbsp;from Brentford on a season-long loan in the summer of 2023,&nbsp;a move met with several mixed reactions among the club&#39;s fans.

Yet, the Spaniard&#39;s purpose wasn&#39;t solely to serve as a backup to Aaron Ramsdale; rather, he arrived to challenge for the starting role. Despite a hesitant beginning, the 28-year-old&nbsp;has shown&nbsp;his solid&nbsp;character to fight for the number one spot.

Since joining, Raya has featured in 25 matches for the Gunners, conceding 21 goals while keeping an impressive 11 clean sheets.&nbsp;While facing criticism from the fanbase, the goalkeeper has fixed himself&nbsp;as a top man in Arteta&#39;s plans, displacing the club&#39;s main goalie, Ramsdale,&nbsp;as the preferred choice in goal.&nbsp;

However,&nbsp;as we look forward to the upcoming season, keeping David Raya&nbsp;as the main goalkeeper could be important for Arsenal&#39;s success. His skills and growing impact make him a key man, fitting perfectly into Arteta&#39;s plans for the team&#39;s future.

&nbsp;

<h3>RB: Ben White</h3>

<img alt="How Arsenal should line up for 2024-25" src="http://vbetnews.com/uploads/ben%20white.webp" style="width: 800px; height: 429px;" />

Image source: Getty Images

Ben White has firmly solidified&nbsp;his spot as&nbsp;Mikel Arteta&#39;s top-choice right-back for Arsenal. Considered one of the best right-backs in the Premier League, White&#39;s outstanding ball control and defensive skills have been apparent in his accurate tackles and composed performances.

Furthermore, according to recent reports from several sources, negotiations have begun between the 26-year-old&nbsp;and the North Londoners about extending the player&#39;s contract at the Emirates Stadium, underlining the Gunners&#39; desire to secure the future of the former Brighton star&#39;s future at the club for an extended period.

&nbsp;

<h3>CB: William Saliba</h3>

<img alt="How Arsenal should line up for 2024-25" src="http://vbetnews.com/uploads/william%20saliba.webp" style="width: 800px; height: 533px;" />

Image source: Getty Images

William Saliba&#39;s return to Arsenal&#39;s squad has been an important&nbsp;moment for Mikel Arteta&#39;s squad, as his presence at the back has brought stability and confidence to the team. With consistent and solid performances throughout the season, the Frenchman has showcased his reliability.&nbsp;His impact on the team&#39;s defensive solidity cannot be overstated, as evidenced by the Gunners&#39; win percentage in matches where he starts compared to when he&#39;s absent due to injury.

The 23-year-old&#39;s&nbsp;significance in last season&#39;s title race with Manchester City is undeniable, with many thinking&nbsp;the North Londoners&#39; slip in the Premier League in trophy battle was due to his absence. In essence, Saliba&#39;s contributions have been transformative, highlighting his crucial role in Arsenal&#39;s defensive setup and overall performance on the pitch.

&nbsp;

<h3>CB: Gabriel Magalhaes</h3>

<img alt="How Arsenal could line up for 2024-25 season" src="http://vbetnews.com/uploads/gabriel%20magalhaes.webp" style="width: 800px; height: 450px;" />

Image source: Getty Images

Gabriel Magalh&atilde;es has been one of the most important figures of Mikel Arteta&#39;s&nbsp;squad this season, despite early uncertainties about his role.

His consistent presence in the team has dispelled any notions of him being surplus to requirements shortly, as he continues to deliver impactful performances. Beyond his four Premier League goals, the Brazilian lies in his defensive reliability and adaptability, seamlessly covering defensive gaps and contributing to the team&#39;s tactical flexibility, including his adeptness in supporting the left-back position.

Moreover, his noticeable progress in ball distribution has added another dimension to the North Londoners&#39; backline play. Alongside William Saliba, the 26-year-old&nbsp;makes a defensive partnership that ranks among the finest in the English domestic league.

&nbsp;

<h3>RB: Jurrien Timber</h3>

<img alt="How Arsenal could line up for 2024-25 season" src="http://vbetnews.com/uploads/timber-1.webp" style="width: 800px; height: 533px;" />

Image source: Getty Images

When&nbsp;Timber joined the Premier League side&nbsp;from Ajax for a&nbsp;&pound;40 million fee in the summer, the 22-year-old appeared to be a promising addition to Arsenal&#39;s squad.

His performance in the Community Shield showcased his potential, but unfortunately, an ACL injury suffered during the North Londoners&#39;&nbsp;Premier League opener against Nottingham Forest sidelined him for an extended period.

Despite this setback, there is optimism that the Dutchman will make a comeback before the conclusion of the season.&nbsp;

<h3>CM: Martin Odegaard</h3>

One of the most important players for Arsenal this season has been Martin Odegaard. Since his arrival from Real Madrid for &pound;30 million in 2021, the Norwegian star has been significantly involved in the team&#39;s performances.

Despite facing initial criticism regarding his goal and assist output, the Gunners&#39; captain&nbsp;has responded emphatically, asserting his control over matches and contributing decisively.

His recent&nbsp;sensational&nbsp;form, fulfilled by an increase in goal-scoring contributions, underscores his necessity to Arsenal&#39;s aspirations. As the club are longing&nbsp;for a well deserved success in the title race, the 25-year-old continues to grace the pitch with&nbsp;excellence and will undoubtedly play a vital role in the North Londoners&#39;&nbsp;silverware journey.

&nbsp;

<h3>CM: Martin Zubimendi</h3>

Arsenal have been recently showing keen interest in securing the services of Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad, with manager Mikel Arteta expressing admiration for the midfielder.

The Spanish boss sees his countryman as a potential addition to his 2024/25 squad. Should the 25-year-old join the Premier League giants, it could prompt tactical adjustments, potentially allowing Declan Rice to operate in a more advanced role.

Moreover, the La Liga ace&#39;s arrival at the Emirates Stadium could also lead to the departure of Thomas Partey, who has grappled with injuries this season.

&nbsp;

<h3>CM: Declan Rice</h3>

Since his record-breaking transfer from West Ham, Declan Rice has swiftly become the backbone of the Gunners&nbsp;squad. His ability to recover the ball and intercept passes is unmatched, and he&#39;s been steadily improving his attacking contributions with each game.

With 34 appearances so far this season, the 25-year-old has proven to be an essential figure for Mikel Arteta. Not only has he netted four goals, but he&#39;s also provided five assists across various competitions, showcasing his versatility and consistent performance levels.

The Egland international&#39;s&nbsp;multifaceted skill set makes him invaluable to Arsenal, bolstering both their defensive solidity and offensive skills on the pitch.

&nbsp;

<h3>RW: Bukayo Saka</h3>

Bukayo Saka has been one of the best payers, if not the best one, for Arsenal this season.&nbsp;During the Gunners&#39; impressive 6-0 victory over West Ham on February 11th, the Englishman has achieved another&nbsp;significant milestone, becoming the youngest Arsenal player in the Premier League era to reach the 50-goal mark.

His season statistics now stand at 15 goals and 13 assists in 32 appearances across all competitions, totaling 25 contributions, placing him among Europe&#39;s elite stars including Kylian Mbappe, Erling Haaland, and Mohamed Salah.

Despite concerns about overplaying the 22-year-old, the winger&nbsp;has been a consistent presence for Mikel Arteta during this 2023/24 campaign,&nbsp;missing only one domestic match over the last three seasons.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<h3>LW: Pedro Neto</h3>

<img alt="How Arsenal could line up for 2024-25 season" src="http://vbetnews.com/uploads/pedro%20neto-1.webp" style="width: 800px; height: 533px;" />

The Gunners&#39; interest in securing Pedro&nbsp;Neto&#39;s signature&nbsp;has intensified amid his impressive performances for Wolves this season. Despite a recent hamstring injury sidelining him for eight games, the Portugal international managed to&nbsp;return to top his form, garnering attention from several Premier League giants.

The 23-year-old winger has been exceptional, netting two goals and providing eight&nbsp;assists in his 15 domestic appearances so far this season.

However, despite being a very important figure in Gary O&#39;Neil&#39;s squad,&nbsp;the club&#39;s financial situation might open a green light for the star&#39;s suitors&nbsp;to come up with offers. This situation&nbsp;potentially opens&nbsp;the door for Mikel Arteta and his board&nbsp;to make a bid and finally get the young attackers&#39; services for the upcoming 2024/25 season.

The North London club is closely monitoring the situation, keen to secure the signature&nbsp;of the promising Portuguese forward when the opportunity arises.

&nbsp;

<h3>CF: Ivan Toney</h3>

<img alt="How Arsenal could line up for 2024-25 season" src="http://vbetnews.com/uploads/ivan%20toney-1.webp" style="width: 800px; height: 502px;" />

The Gunners have shown a strong interest in Ivan Toney both in the summer and winter transfer windows. The Brentford star&nbsp;presents an enticing prospect for Mikel Arteta as a natural goal scorer with proven Premier League experience.

Under Thomas Frank,&nbsp;the Englishman remains a key man and goal contributor, having already netted three goals since his return from suspension, showcasing his continued impact on the team.

However, the recent comments from the Bees&#39; manager show the possibility&nbsp;of the 27-year-old&#39;s departure in the summer amid heightened media interest. While Frank acknowledged the possibility, he also stated the absence of offers for the player during the January transfer window.

Securing Toney in the summer might require the North Londoners to open the exit door for several squad players to meet financial sustainability requirements. On the other hand, the Englishman&#39;s future with the Bees remains uncertain amidst conflicting statements from the current boss&nbsp;and the striker himself.

How Arsenal could line up for 2024-25 season

How Arsenal could line up for 2024/25 season

Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney believes there are a couple of players, who need to be released in the summer, and one player Erik ten Hag needs to build his team around.&nbsp;

Man United bounced back to winning ways on Wednesday night following a hard-fought 3-2 win over Newcastle United, thanks to goalscorers Kobbie Mainoo, Amad Diallo and Rasmus Hojlund.&nbsp;

United&#39;s performance against the Magpies was very much improved, unlike their poor display against Arsenal last weekend. And the major reason behind United&#39;s fine display on Wednesday night was the presence of Bruno Fernandes.&nbsp;

The Portuguese midfielder has been pivotal in Erik ten Hag&#39;s squad this season, and the one time he missed a game (vs Arsenal) due to an injury, United recorded one of their worst attacking plays under the Dutchman, as the Red Devils had 14 shots without any threat against the Gunners.&nbsp;

United had four shots on target in the first half against Newcastle United, which is evident that Fernandes is a key player in the Red Devils&#39; team.&nbsp;

<img alt="Wayne Rooney tells Erik ten Hag players to sell, and who to build the squad around " src="http://vbetnews.com/uploads/600/20240516_091723.jpg" style="width: 1080px; height: 1350px;" />

Rooney, like many other United fans, enjoyed Bruno&#39;s contributions against Newcastle, which made he believes the former Sporting CP midfielder is the one player Ten Hag needs to build his team around, and at the same thing, tells the Dutchman to sell some players in the summer.

Speaking after the game, Wayne Rooney said: &ldquo;You have to build the team around Bruno (Fernandes), he&rsquo;s the one player with quality, and then keep the young players.

&quot;Then get rid of the rest. It has to be a massive clearout over the next couple of years.&rdquo;

Bruno Fernandes provided one assist as United beat Newcastle United 3-2 in their final game at Old Trafford this season.&nbsp;
