Ten month long English League begins tonight across ten centres in United Kingdom
The competition will feature twenty teams with most of them based in London
Historically from the commencement of the tourney as early as 1992/93 season only fifty one clubs participated in the event 49 of the clubs are based in England while the other two are in Wales
Manchester United under Coach Alex Ferguson who won the event on thirteen occasions were the first side to lift the competition after twenty six years of Cup drought
Other teams that lifted the giant trophy comprise Manchester city 8, Arsenal 3, Chelsea 5, Liverpool 2, Leicester 1 and Black Burn also 1
The competition which is acclaimed to be the best football league across the world in view of the established players that featured in the event year in year out had faced serious challenges in the past going by how some match officials were sometimes accused of bias officiating
Thus as the league is scheduled to commence with a match involving Liverpool against Bournemouth, the fierce encounter in the first week will be the one in which Manchester United who ended last season on fifteen position will try their luck against Arsenal of London who came second during the last three seasons
The game will come up at Old Trafford in the heart of Manchester City
Sincerely speaking as the competition kick start, who will win the money spinning glamorous tourney and that will be relegated come May 2026 is a million Naira question that would be pretty hard to answer until when the competition wind up This was as a result of the league complexity compared to other tournaments across Europe that one could easily determine those that would win and those that would finish on the bottom of the ladder
It would be recalled that last season Liverpool lifted the Cup while sides comprising Ipswich, Leicester and Southampton were demoted
While Leeds, Burnley and Sunderland were the new entrants
On the other hand, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United were among the top spenders in acquiring best the legs but could the ends justify the means only time could tell
