From a neutrals point of view, Chelsea and Man City look to be above everybody else in terms of quality and squad depth. These two should be fighting it out for the top 2 places. After that Arsenal, Liverpool and Man Utd are next best and will be going for 3rd, 4th and 5th. At the moment I would say Arsenal 3rd and Man Utd 4th, nothing to split them though and places could easily be changed. Tottenham and Everton will fight it out for 6th and 7th.
1st - Arsenal. I'm thinking it will between us and Chelsea. Hopefully with the signing of Forsyth we will have less injury worries this year. If we can have Walcott, Giroud, Ramsey and Sanchez fit for the majority of the season then we could fire our way to the title. Im still hopeful Wenger will bring in one more quality defensive signing. 2nd - Chelsea. The strongest squad and Jose always gets his team performing. Certainly going to have a decent Season. I do wonder though if this squad is a little too attacking for Mourinho. The confusing thing last Season for me was that he still kept a very defensive shape with a very attacking squad. That could be their downfall again this year. 3rd - Man City. Still formidable and will no doubt smash teams 5 or 6 -0 when they are on form. Just don't see them maintaing last years form though. Its always hard to win back to back titles and I don't think they will manage. 4th - Liverpool. Plenty of goals, pace but tactically a little naive. I can't help but think Rodgers teams play like a team from the 1990's. Still I think they will just about make the top four. 5th - Everton. 6th - United. Slight improvement on last year but this team is carrying too many average individuals. LVG is a top manager but despite Mata/Rooney and RVP I don't think United have the squad to challenge. Shows what a magician Ferguson was really.
