I'll say:
Champions - Chelsea, just can't see anyone being able to compete with their strentgh in depth.
2nd - Liverpool

4th - Man Utd

I fancy Liverpool this season. If you take the first month's results out of last seasons league standings then Liverpool would've finished top.
United are currently
top of the table, Chelsea
second, trailing by three points. Jibster's tip for the top Liverpool are currently sitting
ninth, while everyone's pick for third place Arsenal lie
sixth. Both Wenger and Benitez are out of the title race, and they haven't even opened their advent calendars. I know more than a few Scousers who are hoping Santa brings them a new manager this Christmas.
My
favourite predictions came from troublesome2004. Check out these pearls of wisdom.

Liverpool and Arsenal are hungry but, at the end, they will fight for the 2nd place.
13 and 14 games in respectively, and both teams have managed to pick up just six wins.

Wenger is persistent and his work ethics provides results.
Wenger certainly is persistent. Despite losing today 3-1 to Bolton, Wenger is still blaming his team's poor form on bad luck.

I really don't understand Manchester United policy. It seems that Ferguson, stubborn like he always was, refuse to take different approach. That gave him trophies in the 90's but this is different time. I don't like to predict but they'll have problems with Tottenham to keep their place in first 4 teams in the league. Spurs got Berbatov and Zokora. Their rise will continue.
I felt these comments needed to be singled out. Tottenham's fortunes have taken a significant dive since offloading star man Michael Carrick to United. Pushing United for a top-four spot? The Red Devils top the table with more than twice as many points as the Yids. I think Nostradamus's job is safe.
01 | Manchester United | 34

12 | Tottenham Hotspur | 16

In conclusion, you all suck. I rule. I am King.
