Going with the two best teams on paper, I think Chelsea isn't that far off from what Conte is used to and if Pep can't win the League with a team that is much stronger than what Pellegrini won it with then something is wrong. I think Mourinho is going to have a hard time as I think his mind games will work against him with the Man U press, Arsenal will be Arsenal but the influx of big managers will suit them well and apart from the forwards that team is looking really good and the only reason I don't put them second. Klopp will get the puddle on point this season and will be close between 4th, 5th and 6th but Mou will have the edge, where Wenger will suit the influx of managerial names Pochettino will suffer. Leicester will still be in the mix but not fighting for the top four and their team hasn't been cannibalised enough for them to drop out completely, but I think West Ham have something about them and if Mahrez goes from Leicester then they replace them.

Pains me to say it, but Mourinho knows how to win leagues and I think him already having won titles in the PL will help him compared to the other new managers who haven't really had to deal with the fixture pile-up around Christmas etc before, they're used to the breaks. As for Arsenal dropping out the top 4, eh it's gotta happen at some point. I think Wenger is one of the weaker elite managers in this league and this is finally the year where they drop out.

I just wanted to put Liverpool in one of the top 4 spots really.

Think Chelsea with only the league to focus on will just beat City to it, Arsenal will be their usual selves and Liverpool will just have enough to top United, Spurs and the Saints, though it'll also be incredibly close.
If Hull doesn't go down I'll be amazed, Bournemouth and Watford will fall victim to Sunderland still refusing to die.

I think Pep and City will struggle, yet narrowly beat Liverpool to top 4. Spurs and Leicester will struggle even more with the added fixtures and difficulties of Europe, whereas Mourinho, Pep and Wenger are used to it. Conte will do very well with Chelsea and might take them to a cup win, along with Klopp and Liverpool possibly.
Mourinho will take Man Utd to stardom. Unfortunately.
Best wishes.

Under Rodgers I don't even think he even started during the regular season. Hell, I don't even know if he made a substitute appearance either. I can only recall his first start being against Spurs under Klopp.

AS, who have pretty good sources in Atletico, report the deal is very close for 18M.

He played in the first Manchester United game. The one they lost 3-1.
Still 14/1.
Bookies not making the same mistake as last year though. Best odds you can get on anyone winning is 1500/1. Leicester hurt them lol.

Suarez not having it.

Sky's announced Neville's coming back, Carra's not having it.

Mane has been pretty good vs. Barca. He's a far cry from the Turkish Messi, but still quite good. Seems like he'll take Kuba's role for Klopp.
Meier is back.
The defence is still looking rough, only Abraham is good.

4th would be a decent finish for us, though I hope we could aim a bit higher with no European football to worry about. Would be nice to be back in the CL.

Grujic off injured. Dammit.
Oh gotta be kidding, I just put him in my fantasy team.

Now the press will continue to link us (Arsenal) with every defender and striker under the sun
Wenger will then pay 30m on Loic Remy or Benteke

Fellaini starting? What a time to be alive.
So Perez has bought him?

Why did we play 2 games in less than 24 hours? Who thought that was a good idea? Anyways, Mainz confirmed the true gods of football now, and our second string really shit, the first team looked good though.
