Newcastle United
The team under Eddie Howe quickly turned from a fighter for survival into a member of the quartet of the strongest in English football. As a result, the club returned to the Champions League a year ago, after a two-decade hiatus. But the players, who are inexperienced in this regard, simply did not pull such a load, finishing in the last, fourth place in their quartet, at the same time facing considerable problems in the domestic arena as well. As a result, the young coach was able to keep his position and finish in a relatively high seventh position. However, winning the cup left Manchester United equally without European cups. But in this way, black and white unloaded their calendar in the new cycle. And they started successfully there, collecting 10 points after 4 rounds, including beating Wolverhampton. Perhaps after this they underestimated Fulham, to whom they lost 1:3.

Manchester City
The club was able to add to the list of trophies last season with the UEFA Super Cup and the victory at the Club World Cup, and in the spring won the race again from Arsenal for the EPL title. But the blow was definitely the unfortunate exit from the Champions League by the future winner, Real Madrid. After this, it was expected that Guardiola would start reformatting the squad again, but even after selling Cancela (however, they wrote him off early, starting to send him on loan) and, most importantly, Alvarez, with a serious injury to Bobb, they limited themselves in terms of incoming transfers to the signing of Savio and the return of Gundogan. However, the start of the season showed that Pep judiciously assessed the potential of his wards: after winning the Super Cup, they also started in the English Premier League. But with Inter, the scorer Holland kept silent, and the British limited themselves to a goalless draw. After that, there was a neck-to-neck match with Arsenal. They almost lost there, although Trossard was removed to the locker room. But in the last assault they took at least a draw. And then with a scandal, at least, they beat Watford in the League Cup.
