Who will win PL?

I know the season has not started yet, however based on current knowledge of teams & signings to date, who do you think will occupy the Top 6 positions in the PL this season?

Frighteningly, I think Arsenal are looking very strong & now have a top class keeper in Cech, so I think providing they have a good start (which they normally don't) I think they will be right there at the end.

United have spent a fortune & acquired some great additions, however I still think they are short of a top class striker, so this could inhibit them this season.

Chelsea have not been as bold in the market as per normal, and bringing Falcao in is either going to be genius or disaster. Along with Remy, Falcao is injury prone & Chelsea could have some problems if say Hazard gets injured or has a bad patch.

City have not bought great so far, Sterling for £49m was a big risk which might pay off. Not sure why Delph went there as it is likely he will be on the bench a lot of the time.

Liverpool have bought a beast in Benteke, however if he doesn't fit in (Balotelli anyone??) then they will have major problems. Losing both Sterling & Suarez inside 12 months is not good.
The key for them is not getting Sturridge fit, it is keeping him fit! It also depends how Ibe & Firmino gel as well.

As for Spurs, we have brought in some interesting players: Wimmer, Trippier, Alderweireld & Alli. This helps us in an area that was really our downfall last season, if we had a better defence then maybe would be looking forward to CL football this season, who knows?

Our weakness now (supposition!) is getting in another striker to support Harry, plus a quick wide man to allow us to counter attack at pace.

All in all I think these will be the 6 teams who will ultimately be battling it out for the Top spots this season.

Where do I think each will finish??

I think it will be either Chelsea or Arsenal to win the league, City 3rd & United 4th.

I think we will once again be bridesmaids in 5th place with Liverpool in 6th.

Of course I could be totally wrong, but thats have the fun of it, seeing how your forecast stands up to the test of time.

One thing that could of course change everything for Spurs is that we bring in a proven goalscorer & a top class winger, then we might, just might, sneak into the top 4 spots. Here's hoping!

My prediction:
1st Man Utd
2nd Man City
3rd Arsenal
4th Chelsea
5th Southampton
6th Tottenham
..........
As long as Man Utd get a decent start I think we should win the league. Last season the title was over nearly after 10 games and Carrick missed virtually 9 and a half of those games making it our worst start since 1986. Heck we were behind Everton Tottenham Everton and quite a bit behind Arsenal and miles behind Southampton at that stage messing up the easy fixtures. Even last 6 games last season 5 of them supposed easier fixtures and we only took 5 points. We should from game 10 to game 32 that we could maintain a form if done over 38 games instead of 22 that we would have ended up with 90 points and that was against the more better sides..
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And if Liverpool hadn't drawn or lost the games we did, we would have got 115 points and pîssed the league. You utter buffoon

As long as Spurs win every game they should win the league. And without spending £300 million like LVG to buy the title.

We haven't even close to spent £300m under LVG. terminator1 hard to get 115 points when you can only get to 114 points

Well spotted. Pointing out my maths error doesn't disguise the complete nonsense you're spouting.....

Louis Van Gaal (14 /15) Man Utd Spend £221,600,000 Sales £93,950,000 net spend £127,650,000 per seasopn £63,825,000

So 221.6m on players and £127.65m net is supposedly £300m.
