With the new season only 4 weeks away now I would like to give my views on who will be challenging for the title, and who will be fighting to stay in the Premiership.

As per usual the title will be between the usual suspects, Man-Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool but I expect there to be a couple of surprise title challenges this year from the likes of Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa, Tottenham will be a lot stronger this year with new manager Ramos now beginning to put together the team he would to have and with his tactical awareness and his ability to get that bit extra out of ordinary players will be a big plus for Tottenham and could see them end up in a Champions League spot come May, Villa however are starting to rebuild, with Barry’s likely departure to Liverpool expected to be confirmed next week Villa’s manager Martin o’ Neil has already filled his boots with the acquisition of Sidwell from Chelsea for a reported 5 million pounds.

But If I was to stick my neck on the block I think the title will be going to Stamford Bridge this season, with so much talent already there and with the likely introduction’s of some of the best talent in the world and when you couple that with Ronaldo’s desire to join Real Madrid I can only see the Championship ending up at West London.

At the other end the new boys of hull City and Stoke City have it all to do and to be honest I think they have bitten off more than they can chew and will both go back down along with Fulham who I think have been lucky to stay up for quite a few years now and this season will be the one that will see them fall through the trap door back to the Coca Cola Championship.
