Lester won it last season so if Stoke don't win it this season Hughes should be sacked.

This seems the most wide open it's been for a while.
Says everything when the champions are 7th in the betting!
Every one of the big 6 have question marks about them.
Suppose I'd have to go with Man City.
Racing Post have surprisingly plumped for Chelsea in their betting guide this morning. They've got us in 11th

It's as open as it's ever been.
Numerous contenders -
Man City - World class manager bringing in yet more world class players, they could walk it if Pep can keep everybody fit and get them working as a team week in week out, this could be the downfall though.
Chelsea - Another world class manager, and the signing of Kante could really bolster there chances, but I think they need a year to settle again, not sure they'll be challenging, maybe top 4.
Man Utd - Mourinho's a winner, but after the eventualities of last year I doubt whether he can deal with the huge pressure of making this side title winners again. I think they also, like Chelsea may need a year to settle.
Spurs - Tough one, quietly going about there business. I think they'll be up there again, but falter in the final weeks.
Leicester - Impossible to tell, I don't think they'll be anywhere below the top 7. A complete masterclass last year that took the entire league by surprise. What they did makes it impossible to rule out anybody.
Liverpool - By no means ready, yes they stunned the league a few seasons ago, but then they had Suarez. They don't anywhere near enough world class players. Firminho could be world class, but time will tell.
Arsenal - Just no.
Stoke - After manipulating the signings of some of the worlds most sought after players, this side could storm the league this year if Lord Scholes can secure the signatures of Berahino and that hard Greek fella. After there 5-0 hammering of the brave Orlando 'B' side, every team in the league stood up and took notice. This is a team you just cannot rule out.
So, following my in-depth and NON BIAS analysis, it is decided that Stoke City will this year be premier league champions.

Very, very open
Impossible to call - no one really stands out
Pretty confident though Leicester wont be anywhere near the Top 4 again

The title will be heading to Manchester, not sure whether the red or blue side though.

The title will be heading to Manchester, not sure whether the red or blue side though. That's probably where Id pick to be fair
Im not sure Tottenham will repeat last season either
Chelsea might spring a surprise

Stoke City Football Club for the 1st time ever.
My serious belief.
Two new signings this week btw.
And 3-4 players leave.

I think Liverpool are going to be a force this season. Top four at least, possibly a proper title challenge.

Hard to predict who but I think it'll be normal order restored amongst the elite clubs.
If there's a repeat of the Leicester-style fairy tale, let's hope it's us.
Should be a good'un - bring on Boro'...

It won't be Arsenal but imagine beating them in our last home game to mathematically ensure they can't win the league, how sweet would that be!

After last year, who can predict with any confidence?
Could be another team with no Europe / fixture pile up

Just me that think Pep is over rated ? No doubt a good manager but he took over Barcelona just as that group of players came into prime and he then went to Bayern who were already European champions and at both clubs he had unlimited resources with 1 club competing with his team.
This year he will face a real test having to rebuild a team which nobody has seen him do yet.
It's definately gonna be interesting with Man City, United and Chelsea all with new managers, you would think Arsenal and Spurs would be building to mount a serious challenge both teams squad depth cost them dearly last year when in all reality either of them could have won it had they not crumbled.
Regardless of what we think last year proved that anything could happen.

Tottenham. Their collapse in the final month of season could be like Man United in 1992 when a good but not brilliant Leeds team won the league. The following year, older and wiser (plus Cantona), Man United made their breakthrough. Maybe Spurs just need one good signing to do it.
