The start of another season of the BPL beckons. After the excitement of the World Cup, it will be fun to get back to the bustle of club football. It harder to pick a winner this season as the gap between the top teams seems to be closing. Especially when clubs spend $100m in the transfer market.
Liverpool under new manager Roy Hodgson will be a far more stable now. Having managed to keep Gerrard and Torres is a big boost to their chances.
Tottenham Hotspurs will look to build on their last seasons performance. I think how far they progress in the Champions League will be inversely proportional to how well they do in the Premier League.
Manchester City have almost purchased a new team. Significant additions include David Silva, Yaya Toure, Mario Balotelli, Jerome Boateng and rumuors of more on the way. They seem to be a team with a mission and I reckon they have a great chance of finishing in the top four.
Arsenal have under achieved for a long time now. Five years without a trophy is unacceptable for a team of this repute. In my view they may slide further this season, and a finish in the top four looks challenging.
Chelsea and Manchester United, the perennial toppers are my favourites this time too. Chelsea have not made any significant addition to their squads but look formidable. Manchester United have added a couple of young strikers to their team, adding some solidity to the attack.
I am going to go with Manchester United winning this season.
