Chelsea. Best manager and nearly won it without a striker last season and fully expect them to win it with one.

I think Liverpool will be strong again bit will fall just short
The passing and movement along with pace and passing options always available puts them in good stead
If I had to pick it would be Man Utd

I can't see Arsenal being in the top two mate. I can't see much changing from last Season in fact. Man Utd will probably do better under Van Gaal but I see Man City winning it again in all honesty. Liverpool will miss Suarez so I'd say Chelsea will be the closest contenders. You talk about Arsenal midfielders but they still haven't got a Yaya Toure. Again, you mention the attacking options but they still haven't got an Aguero. Not convinced by their defence either. The way things are going, Man City might not have a Yaya Toure either! Honestly think their focus could be on the Champions League this year, and with a restricted squad to choose from I'm expecting a lot of rotation in the league. Aguero's great on his day but needs to stay fit for longer than 5 minutes. Sanchez could be Arsenal's answer to Aguero- difficult to know how foreign players will adjust, but he's certainly not going to weaken them. Arsenal's biggest challenge might be their mentality if they do get into a strong position late in the season. Liverpool bottled it...Arsenal might too. If Yaya goes then that definitely changes things. I just can't see past the strength of their squad. Zabaleta is world class, Kompany isn't too shabby and Silva and Nasri are decent players too! When your back up strikers are Dzeko and Negredo, you know your squads pretty strong!

I see Chelsea pressing for 2 titles and the experience and manager coupled with the new signings will help them versus top contenders. I feel Arsenal are like Barca, missing a lil bite and muscle in certain areas. They will come close but dont have the depth like Chelsea.

Graeme Bailey ?@graemebailey Arsenal are increasingly confident that they have landed Real Madrid and German star Sami Khedira. 1/7 onI hate to say it, but they are starting to look like an elite squad.

Last season I went 1) ManC, 2) Chelsea, 3) Everton, 4) ManU mainly based on the depth of strength of squads, but Suarez proved me wrong and Everton sold players and weakened themselves.
Next season I think it will be: 1) Chelsea, 2) ManC, 3) ManU, 4) Arsenal or Liverpool, but Chelsea manager/owner could fall out, ManC will have tired players, ManU could have a big falling out at the club and huge disruption, and 4th place could depend on how they have yet to spend their money.

Don't care who wins as long as it's not The Shit. Or Arsenal. Or Liverpool. Or Chelsea Too many glory hunters at Man City now too. Spurs can Bugger off. Everton,no take. Southampton would be ok at a push. Don't mind most of last season bottom ten.

As good as Sanchez is,did Arsenal need him.Khedira is the type of player that's missing.Then they'd only need 2 full backs,a centre half and a striker to have a chance of winning the league.

That's good enough for me. 12/5 seems decent as well. May have a punt.....

It's a two horse race for me........Chelsea or Manchester City.
Manchester United just have too much to do this season IMO to get anywhere near winning it.
Liverpool failed to win it last season when they had the best chance they're likely to get. Had the other top teams performed anything like previous seasons then Liverpool would not have finished in the top 4. On top of that, they've lost Suarez and are signing as many Southampton players as they can which hardly tells me they are going to be better this season than last.
Arsenal will be thereabouts again without being good enough to win it.
Spurs and Everton won't be good enough and I've then run out of serious challengers.
COLOURS TO THE MAST...............................IT'S CHELSEA FOR ME.

Chelsea or Man City, the two best squads in the league.
Arsenal simply lack the mentality to win it. They'll be third at the very best.
Man United to finish 4th, Van Gaal needs at least two years to rebuild them.

I honestly don't care who wins the league. Same goes for who will be relegated. The only thing I'm interested in is a Stoke - of course winning the League is sadly beyond us, relegation though isn't. Although, with the squad Hughes has built and the way he has us playing we should avoid a relegation battle this season. me too, but its great getting results against top teams denying them the title

What it should be who buy Premiership Title. i never understand this "Buying the Prem" idea to be honest that's pretty much always been the way since the Prem started though it's just that nowadays there a few more clubs with as much clout/spending power/reputation as Man Utd. always had in 96 for instance Man Utd bought Van Der Gouw, Ronny Jonssen, Jordi Cruyff, Karel Poborsky, and Solskjaer in over one summer. it's not a new thing at all
