Luton Town – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Hatters” played in the Premier League last season, which happened for the first time in this format. They have not appeared in the elite division since the early 90s, three full decades. As a result, the newcomer was expectedly relegated, but still not hopelessly, from the 18th place.
Rob Edwards retained his position as a manager. And the core of the team is in place. Perhaps one can regret Barkley, but Ross left for Aston Villa to continue playing in the Premier League. It is disconcerting that little is happening at the summer training camp.
Burnley – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Clarets” were already relegated to the Championship 2 years ago. Then they successfully bet on Kompany, and the Belgian mentor, with modest results in Anderlecht, justified the bet, confidently and early won the division. The Manchester City legend was working the entire last season, 2023/2024. The team spent the cycle in the relegation zone and dropped in class, but the coach was not fired... Still, he left himself as soon as he was called to Bayern.
Vincent was replaced by Scott Parker, who raised Bournemouth to the Premier League, however, the specialist was soon fired there, and failed in Brugge. Nevertheless, the team as a whole was retained, only the goalkeeper, Muric, remains in the Premier League – he will become No. 1 for the newcomer, Ipswich.
