This is the prediction posted on the website of Soccernet. u can read the article there.

As for me this is just another guide. Nothing is firm nothing is predictable.
For my pick, Arsenal will be champion come May. I supported Arsenal for a good 14 to 15 yrs already. So very year I Will pick only Arsenal to win. Arsenal is having one of the youngest squad in the league. Hunger and transition for 2 season i think is too long for such a big club, the saying is still Arsenal is still in Transition. But i can tell you NO. The transition is complete, selling off Henry is the final straw of this transition. It is time to unleash the young talent. Man Utd in the 1990 also unleash their 90s team about this time.

So just watch Arsenal go on to shock all parties. The talent is there, this group had been playing together for a good 5 years. What understanding and bond is there, now is to have no fear and take on the League.

Having said that, I feel this year 5 teams will be fighting the title. the Big 4 and Spurs. All the spending by Liverpool , man utd and Spurs is going to make a difference.

To me Arsenal not bidding for torres & allowing him to go liverpool is a big miss. Also losing Ryan Babel to liverpool is also sad for me. 2 are very talented and a good guarantee of 30 goals a season. This 2 will more than make up for the loss of form losing Henry. Henry will no doubt be miss but in life all move on. Eduardo is an unknown talent to many EPL viewer so less expectation and mean better to concentrate on the field. He is not tall, short in some standard but he is very good in his header. A player to watch out for, 15 goals a season player.

The player I believe at the end of May that every EPL fans will be talking about will be WALCOTT. The time have come for him to take the centre stage. Henry gone, no one to take the spotlight, the main line. There is farbegas and van perise but he is the next Henry...no he will not be Henry because there is only one... he will be WALCOTT a new legend in the making.

This year relegation fight, I think will be closer with up to 8 clubs fighting it. The 3 newly promoted club, but Sunderland might surprise. Reading, Bolton, boro, Fulham and Wigan. this 8 teams will fight the dogfight. 40 point is still the magic number for all this club.

Man city is a unknown for me because they are changing and they have a very good coach. Although Erickson flog big time as England Manager, he is a very good season manager. He is has won league title in 3 countries. that is an achievement. Man city might just squeeze into the top6 if he get the formula right in time which is 48 hours time...

Let us all get ready for, what they say, the best season yet for the EPL.
THE NEW SEASON BEGINS.
