    Depends if they can keep aguero fit, which they can't so it'll come down to how many he misses.

    Same with Chelsea and Costa but he's not a crock.

    Batshuayi is no better than Remy but Chelsea sold Remy to Palace and bought Batshuayi for £30m.

    Top teams have one great striker and some others, which is why I like Liverpool's chances as they're not relying on one player.

    Chelsea for me are phenomenal and will win it, I like Conte and I like the way he mounds his teams to play a system. They are a joy to watch.

    Arsenal and City will run them close, this is the best, most balanced Arsenal side for a few years and they are hard to stop, but 2-3 injuries and they are in trouble.

    With a top striker or a fit Welbeck, I'd tip them.

    Liverpool are the best team going forward but defence isn't good enough to win it, next year they will be mightily close.

    United a long way off, Spurs could go either way but I've got them 5th.

    Great league this year.

    Gotta say Tel, Batshuyai is a far better all round player than Remy, if not a better striker as such.

    Zlatan is doing well, he's not in great form just now but he'll find it.

    Pogba is being played in different positions, hasn't found his stride yet, see good games and poor games as expected from all players in a disjointed team. Nobody has been brilliant.

    I think he's phenomenal mate. He took Juve from Serie B to champions in 3 years, they started the Serie B season on minus 12 points or some ****.

    He took a poor bunch of Italy players, mounded a system that utilised their strengths and made them very good.

    He's gone Chelsea, tinkered a little but then found the formula again, he has Alonso and Moses looking world beaters.

    He's the real deal mate, he tailors the set up to balance the players rather than changing the players and that is a far steadier, more long term way of doing it. He's brilliant, Chelsea made a real coup for me.

    They will only get better he will sign one of 'his' CBs in January, likely Bonucci, and be even more solid giving Hazard and Moses more freedom.

    I can't see anyone stopping them, especially with the no Euro football benefit to fitness.

    So a choice of Conte. Pep or Jose.

    Conte is your pick?

    In a blink mate. Jose has built sides and is capable but he seems to alienate, first stint at Chelsea, and at Inter players would die for him, Madrid seems to have damaged him.

    Pep? Never had to mould a side. Not suggesting he's **** but he's never done a full job, the other 2 have.

    Conte in a blink mate, he will set them up for years to come. The man is brilliant, he's thorough and he has plans b & c, and his passion and defence and bond with the players is clear as well.

    Full package.

    Hope so mate. We keep not buying strikers because of him being in our team.

    If it was my choice I'd go after Dybala before City get him. Then Aubameyang.

    Martial, Dybala, Aubameyang and Rashford would do me for a strike force.

    Rooney is done, his body has given up on him.

    Klopp is the best manager in this league for me, Bayern would never be dominating the bundesliga if they didn't go about systematically dismantling Klopp's Dortmund with their money.

    I like Klopp. He seems a laugh aswell as a good manager.

    It's a close call, he'd probably be my second in line. He did lose it towards the end at Dortmund though, he'd only lose Lewandowski and replaced him with Aubameyang but they slid badly before recovering.

    Made a few shocking hits in panic, Kampl etc, but he did pull it back which is the sign of a great gaffer.

    I do love Klopp but Conte for me is someone who improves individuals and tailors around what he has, that's football genius in my eyes. Let's be fair you'd be happy with either of those 2 at any club in the world. Hence me saying Chelsea this year and Liverpool very close next.
