Premier League

Spurs top of the premier league, who could have thought it, I think this season will be one of the closest title fights in the short history of the premier  League, and don’t be surprised to see a new top four.

I know  common sense dictates that it is to early to write any teams of, but I don’t think Liverpool will hold on to top four status this year, I did not see the second game against Stoke which they won 4-0 but I understand from reports that Stoke were exceptionally poor, however I did watch the Spurs game and I will say I was underwhelmed by the Scousers.

Man City look like they may gatecrash the party at the top after spending 200 million pounds they really cant do anything else, Chelsea look very strong and they seem to have a extra toughness about them this year, they have won all three games played so far this season coming from behind each time, this new diamond formation Ancelloti has them playing looks very effective and they can only get better as the season goes on.

As for the current holders of the title and my team Manchester Utd, I don’t think they will have things their own way, and I will reserve judgement on their chances of a record breaking four consecutive titles until a few more games have been played.

Though it will be difficult to adjust to a post Ronaldo formation, the team was built around him for the past few years, I have been reasonably impressed with Utd’s start this year though the blip against Burnley was unexpected, we are playing without arguably the Leagues best central defensive partnership Ferdinand and Vidic due to injury’s.

Up front I am confident Owen will prove to be a good buy, Rooney is proven quality, and Berbatov looked brilliant, Giggs looks to have a new lease of life and was inspirational in the first game, against Burnley Utd created lots of chances and were unable to convert the Burnley keeper also had an exceptional night, as The manager Ferguson pointed out I would be more concerned if we were not creating the chances rather than the fact we could not convert chances on the night.

So sit back and enjoy the next 8 months and lets see how close my prediction will be. This is my top six in order and it is in print now so I cant change it, come April next year I will be proclaimed the best pundit of all time or the most deluded only time will tell.

Man Utd (Champions)

Chelsea

Man City

Arsenal 

Spurs

Liverpool
