Liverpool changes the Premier League map, turning from blue to red, waiting for Arsenal and Manchester United to strive for the championship

The 2025/2026 season is coming soon, and the first round of the Premier League will be staged on the weekend. The opening match will be played against Bournemouth at home, and Manchester United's home match against Arsenal is the most popular game in this round. With Manchester City's decline, Liverpool changed its Premier League territory, turning from blue to red, waiting for Arsenal and Manchester United to strive for the championship.

Since 1992, the Premier League has unknowingly spent 33 years and is now entering its 34th season. Looking back at the first year of the Premier League, 22 teams were still in the competition. In addition to the traditional six, there were Aston Villa, Everton, Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest, as well as the newly promoted Leeds United, and the remaining 11 teams are no longer in the top league.

Among them, Wimbledon has long been relocated and renamed Milton Keynes, giving up the original elements of the club and becoming a brand new team. With the support of angry fans, AFC Wimbledon Club was reorganized and reached the last 32 of the League Cup last season. Milton Keynes and Oldham, now in the fourth-level League, were the worst-ever "drift" among the teams in the first year of the Premier League.

Blackburn is also one of the founding teams of the Premier League and is also the second club after Manchester United to win the Premier League championship trophy. Now he is in the Championship. Together with Leicester City, who has just been relegated, he is two former Premier League champions who cannot stay in the top league. In addition to the 16 teams mentioned above, the remaining 6 first-year Premier League teams are all in the English Championship. Do you know who it is? What fans are more concerned about is the title. In the past 33 seasons, Manchester United has won a total of 13 championships, Manchester City has 8, and almost two-thirds of the championships belong to the city of Manchester. In addition, Chelsea has 5, Arsenal has 3, Liverpool has 2, and Blackburn and Leicester City are both 1.

However, it has been 12 years since Manchester United's last championship, Chelsea has 8 years, and Arsenal has the longest, and it has 21 years since it won the championship unbeaten. As for Tottenham, which is known as the traditional top six, there is not a single Premier League champion.

Perhaps, Tottenham won the European Cup Winners Championship in 1963 and won the first European championship for England, which is the best historical precipitation. At the same time, the three Europa Leagues (including the League Cup) and 1 Cup of Winners are also slightly stronger than Arsenal in terms of European results.

From the championship wall, it can be seen that the 33-year Premier League can be roughly divided into two stages. The team logo of the champion in the first half is often red. Since the 2013 season, most of the champions have turned blue.

Last season, Liverpool made great progress and won the Premier League championship ahead of schedule. It may have changed the Premier League territory since then, and there are a few red spots in the blue. In the new season, Liverpool has strongly signed players. People predict that the chance of winning the championship is still very high. Manchester City, which has won the championship for four consecutive years, has begun to slowly decline. It is almost impossible to maintain its former dominance.

However, the color of the Premier League championship wall is far from enough to turn from blue to red, and it requires more red teams to participate. In the past few years, the efforts of Manchester City, Chelsea, and even Leicester City have turned the Premier League into blue. People joke that the sky of Manchester is also blue.

Interestingly, this summer, if the actual investment is calculated, the net expenditure of Manchester United and Arsenal exceeded 200 million, while Liverpool and Chelsea, whose transfer expenditure is close to 300 million, have less than 100 million. Liverpool's net expenditure can only rank sixth in the Premier League, and Chelsea cannot even squeeze into the top ten.

Obviously, both Manchester United and Arsenal have their own pursuits. Although Manchester United fell to 15th last season, Arsenal always left a "financial" image, but now both teams hope to drive the progress of the entire team through the addition of strong aids. What’s even more interesting is that in the first round of the new season, the two teams meet directly, and no one can easily lose.

Arsenal has been second in the runner-up for three consecutive years. Manchester United hopes to win the championship in the 150th anniversary. Under the "leading" of Liverpool, the color of the championship wall will change from blue to red, waiting for the two former overlords to return to the championship stage.

Manchester United or Arsenal, who can rise first and win the trophy?
