We&#8217;ve asked four of our top Captains to give their verdict on the season ahead. Joining us this year is The Gambling Panel (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/gamblingpanel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@gamblingpanel<\/a>), Overs Specialist (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OversSpecialist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@OversSpecialist<\/a>), Gary Docherty (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/garydoc777\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@garydoc777<\/a>) and G.O.A.T.

Which signings will prove to be shrewd and who will be a gigantic waste of money? Which of our Captains will prove themself a font of footballing knowledge and who will hang their head in shame? Read on for our 2020\/21 season predictions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Ask the Captains: 2020\/21 season predictions<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who will win the 2020\/21 Premier League?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>GP: It has to be <strong>Man City<\/strong> who have strengthened their squad while Liverpool have stood still.<\/p>\n<p>OS: <strong>Manchester City<\/strong>. I&#8217;m expecting Pep to address City&#8217;s lack of comeback ability when going behind, that&#8217;s <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> only thing they lack against Liverpool.<\/p>\n<p>GD: I believe <strong>Liverpool<\/strong> <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">will<\/span> win <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> EPL again this year, despite Manchester City being favourites.<\/p>\n<p>GT: I expect <strong>Man City<\/strong> to win <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> league as they were far from their best last time <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">and<\/span> definitely have something to prove this year.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who will make up the rest of the top four?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>GP: <strong>Liverpool<\/strong> will come second, <strong>Chelsea<\/strong> third and <strong>United<\/strong> fourth. Chelsea <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">and<\/span> United have made good signings <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">but<\/span> won&#8217;t have enough experience to finish above Liverpool.<\/p>\n<p>OS: <strong>Liverpool<\/strong> second, <strong>Chelsea<\/strong> third and <strong>United<\/strong> fourth. It&#8217;s still a two horse race. Expect Chelsea to be clear of <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> pack in third <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">with<\/span> United edged into fourth. <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">The battle for fourth could be close though.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>GD: I believe <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> 2nd, 3rd <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">and<\/span> 4th places <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">will<\/span> go to <strong>Manchester City, Manchester United<\/strong> <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">and<\/span> <strong>Chelsea<\/strong> in that order.<\/p>\n<p>GT: <strong>Liverpool<\/strong>, then <strong>Chelsea<\/strong>, then <strong>Man United<\/strong>. I expect these three sides to cruise into <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> remaining places to qualify for <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> Champions League due to good recruitment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which three will lose the Premier League relegation battle?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>GP: <strong>Fulham, Aston Villa <\/strong>and<strong> Crystal Palace<\/strong>. All are shaky at <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> back <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">and<\/span> won\u2019t score enough goals to keep them up.<\/p>\n<p>OS: <strong>West brom, Fulham <\/strong><span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">and<\/span><strong> Newcastle<\/strong>. I don&#8217;t believe West Brom have enough goals in them this year. Fulham have never been able to defend in <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> Premier League. I like Newcastle, I love their real fans <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">but<\/span> I fear they&#8217;re in trouble this year.<\/p>\n<p>GD: I think <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">we<\/span> <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">will<\/span> lose <strong>Burnley<\/strong> this time with question marks over Sean Dyche&#8217;s future. <strong>West Brom<\/strong> <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">and<\/span> <strong>Fulham<\/strong> will head straight back down.<\/p>\n<p>GT: This is a tough one to call as so many teams have <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> potential to go down but I&#8217;ll go for <strong>Fulham<\/strong>, <strong>Brighton<\/strong> and <strong>West Brom<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Name the Golden Boot winner<\/strong><br \/>\nGP: <strong>Timo Werner<\/strong> is a natural goalscorer and <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">should<\/span> have enough creativity behind him to provide him with <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> chances.<\/p>\n<p>OS: The Golden Boot winner usually plays for a side who finish in the top four. United lack an out-and-out striker, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/man-city-aguero-exit\/\" >City have Aguero<\/a> but he&#8217;s injury prone and gets replaced a lot by Jesus these days. Liverpool have a front three who seem to share goals so I think <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> value lies in <strong>Timo Werner<\/strong> in an attacking chelsea side.<\/p>\n<p>GD: Chelsea new boy <strong>Timo Werner<\/strong> for <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> golden boot this season.<\/p>\n<p>GT: <strong>Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang<\/strong> has proven year after year what a top striker he is. I think Arsenal <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">will<\/span> have a much improved campaign this time, with Aubameyang being <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> main man.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best signing of <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> season<\/strong><br \/>\nGP: As I&#8217;ve named him the Golden Boot winner it&#8217;s got to be <strong>Werner<\/strong> again.<\/p>\n<p>OS: <strong>Kai Havertz<\/strong>, without a doubt. One of Europe&#8217;s best young players, so versatile can play anywhere in midfield <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">and<\/span> attack,\u00a0 deceptively fast <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">and<\/span> a very intelligent footballer.<\/p>\n<p>GD: It&#8217;s got to be <strong>Timo Werner<\/strong> again if he&#8217;s winning the Golden Boot as well.<\/p>\n<p>GT: <strong>Timo Werner<\/strong> is fantastic signing for Chelsea and I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing him in <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> Premier League. I think he <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">will<\/span> be a huge asset to Chelsea next season.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Worst signing of the season<\/strong><br \/>\nGP: I&#8217;m going for <strong>Rodrigo<\/strong>. He&#8217;s already flopped once in <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> Premier League with Bolton so I&#8217;m expecting <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> same again.<\/p>\n<p>OS: <strong>Nathan Ake<\/strong> at 40 million to Manchester City. Lots disagree with my opinion on Ake <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">but<\/span> I don&#8217;t believe he is of <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> quality required to play for such a big team.<\/p>\n<p>GD: I can&#8217;t see <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> benefits of <strong>Donny Van De Beek<\/strong> for Manchester United.<\/p>\n<p>GT: He&#8217;s been a great player for PSG over <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> last few years but I think <strong>Thiago Silva<\/strong> may struggle to adapt to Premier League football.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which manager will lose the sack race?<\/strong><br \/>\nGP: It&#8217;s got to be <strong>David Moyes<\/strong>. West Ham have a trigger-happy board <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">and there are<\/span> already murmurs of discontent.<\/p>\n<p>OS: I think <strong>David Moyes<\/strong> at West Ham at big odds is a good shout.<\/p>\n<p>GD: <strong>Sean Dyche<\/strong> might struggle to remain in charge <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">and<\/span> could be <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> first manager to go.<\/p>\n<p>GT: Slaven Bilic has done a fantastic job getting WBA back up. I think it may be a difficult start to <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> season though <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">and,<\/span> if WBA are in a bad position come November, I think he may be <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> first manager out.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who will win the 2020\/21 FA Cup?<\/strong><br \/>\nGP: Mourinho <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">will<\/span> target <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> cup competitions this year and I can see him delivering <strong>Spurs<\/strong> the FA Cup or <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> League Cup.<\/p>\n<p>OS: Either <strong>Man City<\/strong> or <strong>Chelsea<\/strong>. Chelsea always go for <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> FA cup <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">and<\/span> any silverware for Frank is a must this season. City <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">will<\/span> strongly challenge for this too as Pep needs a return for <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> board.<\/p>\n<p>GD: I would plump for <strong>Arsenal<\/strong> to win <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> FA Cup again, they love this competition.<\/p>\n<p>GT: <strong>Chelsea<\/strong> have had a fantastic transfer window, which was badly needed. I really expect them to push for <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> title and they could land the FA Cup as well.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who will win the 2020\/21 Champions League?<\/strong><br \/>\nGP: I can see <strong>Bayern Munich<\/strong> retaining <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> title again this season. They are a country mile ahead of everyone else at <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> moment.<\/p>\n<p>OS: It&#8217;s hard to oppose Bayern <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">but<\/span> I <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">will<\/span> go with <strong>Real Madrid<\/strong>. The transfer market is open another month and they could be busy. Right now nobody is considering them. Let&#8217;s see how this ages.<\/p>\n<p>GD: I can&#8217;t see past <strong>Bayern Munich<\/strong> again for <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> Champions League as they are strengthening an already formidable squad<\/p>\n<p>GT: <strong>Bayern Munich<\/strong> won it last year with what seemed incredible ease. With <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> addition of Leroy Sane I think their team is too strong not to win it again.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>And finally, who will be the Euro 2020 champions?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>GP: I think <strong>France<\/strong>. A great, young squad with <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">the<\/span> experience of already winning a major competition.<\/p>\n<p>OS: No way <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">should<\/span> England be favourites, <strong>Italy<\/strong> offer a good value bet at great odds <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">and<\/span> <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">should<\/span> be shorter in my opinion, <strong>Spain<\/strong> could challenge too.<\/p>\n<p>GD: <strong>France<\/strong> to win <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colossusbets.com\/blog\/euro-2020-tournament-preview-and-predictions\/\">Euro 2020<\/a> after landing the World Cup in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>GT: As much as I\u2019d like to say England, I think <strong>France<\/strong>\u2019s quality <span class=\"c-mrkdwn__highlight\">and<\/span> depth could be too much for any other European side.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ve read our Captains 2020\/21 season predictions but what about yours?
