Welcome back guys, the English Premiership League (EPL) is back this August, and we guess you’re just as excited as we are.
The EPL 2021/2022 went almost as planned as we got most of our tips correct, with Man City winning the league, Mo Salah winning the English Premier League best player, and a few other correct predictions.
The past months have been marred with international games, pre-season, and other events, but now the EPL is returning on August 22. Also, this football season will be unique as there will be a pause for the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
Premier League Daily Predictions
We will outline tips for the upcoming English Premiership League 2022/23 season below, so sit tight and ride with us.
Who Will Win The English Premiership League 2023?
As always, it isn’t easy to predict the club that would top the table at the end of the season, and as can be seen from how last season ended, it just got more complicated. The big four teams have all reinforced (and still looking to add more strength) their squads to mount serious title challenges.
Also, teams like Arsenal, Newcastle, and Tottenham have strengthened, and it seems like they will cause a big upset in the upcoming season.
Our Prediction: Manchester City to retain the title. Man City has just reinforced with the addition of Julian Alvarez and probably the hottest striker on the planet—Erling Halaand. The combination of Halaand and Kelvin De Bruyne will cause havoc for other EPL teams.
We didn’t go for Liverpool because, even though they have strengthened their squad, there has been a decline in their football, especially as top names like Mane and Wijnaldum have left the club.
Teams like Arsenal and Newcastle have shown promising signs towards the tail end of last season, but we think they will need at least an extra season before challenging City for the title.
Where to Bet:
- Nairabet: Man City to win the EPL is 1.57 as at the time of this post.
- Betway (Nigeria): Betway offers 1.57 odds for Man City to Win the EPL as of the time of this post.
- Sportybet: Sportybet offers Man City to win the EPL at 1.57 as of the time of this post.
Manchester United and Chelsea are likely opponents that might win the EPL as they have strengthened their squad with quality additions.
Top 4 – Who Will Go to the Champions League?
This season, the challenge for the Champions League spot is harder because there are only 4 spots available (with the option of 5 if an English team wins the UCL or Europa League).
Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United are favorites for the top four. However, given the display of Arsenal, Newcastle, and Tottenham last season, it is certain that qualification is now harder than ever.
Our Prediction: Chelsea, Man City, Arsenal, and Liverpool will qualify for the Champions League.
Where to Bet:
- Betway Nigeria: Betway offers 1.01 odd for Manchester City to qualify, 1.75 odd for Liverpool, 6.00 for Chelsea, and 1.03 odd for Arsenal.
- Paripesa: Paripesa offers 1.004 odd for Manchester City to qualify, 1.95 odd for Liverpool, 7.00 for Chelsea, and 1.05 odd for Arsenal.
- 1XBet: 1XBet offers 1.004 odd for Manchester City to qualify, 1.95 odd for Liverpool, 7.00 for Chelsea, and 1.05 odd for Arsenal.
Other teams that seem likely to qualify for the Champions League are Manchester United and Tottenham, but their chances this season seem reduced.
Who Will Relegate?
It is hard to decide this season which team will be relegated. However, the EPL has a history of most promoted teams being relegated after 1 season in the EPL. Fulham, Bournemouth, and Nottingham Forest are the three teams promoted for the 2022/2023 season, and going by history, one of them might be relegated.
Our Prediction: Bournemouth looks likelier to be relegated this season from the onset view of things. They have not been making much moves in the transfer market, even though they need an improvement in their squad.
Where to Bet:
- Betway Nigeria: Betway Nigeria offers 1.40 odds for Bournemouth to be relegated.
- Paripesa: Paripesa offers 1.34 odds for Bournemouth to be relegated.
- 1XBet: 1XBet offers 1.34 odds for Bournemouth to be relegated.
Who Will Win the Golden Boot?
With the Arrival of Erling Haaland to the EPL, the golden boot race looks more competitive than ever for other teams. Harry Kane and Cristiano Ronaldo can pick up the golden boot award at the end of the season. They are playing for good teams, but how their coaches set up will certainly determine how many goals they will score this season.
Our Prediction: The former Borussia Dortmund player—-Erling Haaland has made a name as the best striker in Europe, and coupled with Kevin De Bruyne of Manchester City; we expect him to run away with the Golden Boot this season.
Where to Bet:
- Betway Nigeria: Betway Nigeria offers 1.06 odds for Erling Haaland to win the golden boot.
- Paripesa: Paripesa offers 1.10 odds for Erling Haaland to win the golden boot.
- 1XBet: 1Xbet offers 1.10 odds for Erling Haaland to win the golden boot.
Who Will Be Player of the Season?
The EPL 22/23 season’s best player would likely be a striker this time around. Mo Salah won the award last season and might win it again this upcoming season. Haaland, Reece James, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Kelvin De Bruyne are top players who are favorites to win the prestigious EPL award.
Our Prediction: Erling Haaland is more likely to win the player of the season.
Where to Bet: As of writing this content, this market isn’t yet available on most Nigerian betting platforms. However, it might be available before or during the league starts, so keep checking.
Haaland is the top man at the heart of Man City’s attack, and with the possibility of playing with other top players like KDB, Foden, Cancelo, and Grealish, he might win the award in his first season in EPL.
Who Will Be Manager of the Season?
There are few managerial changes at various EPL clubs from last season, but EPL top 4 managers would be looking to coach their team to the most match victories. Klopp and Pep are known contenders, but Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel and Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta look the best option for this award.
Our Prediction: Thomas Tuchel might win the award for EPL manager of the season.

Who Will Be the First Coach to be Sacked?
The sack race is always unpredictable because some club owners have more patience than others, even if the results aren’t that bad. E.g., Lampard with Everton last season.
Our Prediction: Everton coach Lampard might be the first coach to be sacked. Last season, Lampard saved Everton from relegation but has lost a key squad member plus injuries. He looks like the first manager that will receive the sack letter.
