This might finally be the year. It might finally be the year that Pep Guardiola and Manchester City don't win the Premier League. Despite that, they've still been the most tactically complex team in the league, carrying on from much of the tactics that brought them a treble-winning triumph last season. Here is what Pep Guardiola has imposed in 2023-24, continuing to make City one of the most dominant forces in the world.
It has been a season to remember for Leicester City inside the Championship. They've been one of the league's all-time top sides, and look fully prepared to hit the mark if they can keep hold of their star power leading into next season. Enzo Maresca and his team have done a brilliant job in assembling this squad, reinventing roles, and achieving buy-in from the players, and the same criteria will need to be met ahead of 2024-25.

With that, we analyze Mauricio Pochettino's Chelsea, and suggest where they need to improve in order to get back into the race for European football next season.
After nine games of the 2023-24 La Liga season, MĂchel's Girona have won seven games and lost only to Real Madrid. This puts them second to the current title favourites, and in for the season of a lifetime. Here is our tactical analysis of MĂchel's Girona in 2023-24, and how they've put on such stunning displays so far this season.
RB Leipzig might not go toe-to-toe with Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title this season, but they have every chance of contending for second place alongside the likes of Dortmund and Leverkusen. Their recruitment over the summer has proven to be spot on, with the central compactions across the pitch aiding their approach of quick attacking transitions and high-pressing from the front. Conceding just 4 goals in 5 matches, Leipzig have been much more than just a brilliant side to watch in attack, but a much improved side in defense to start the campaign.
