Arsenal look like they may have maintained the status quo;
Liverpool look weaker.
United look even weaker than last season, but I have every confidence that they will turn it round and finish in the top four, a few points behind Chelsea and City,
..... but on a par with Arsenal and Liverpool:
with those three producing the real interest (in the fight for Champions League places) after City and Chelsea have an unassailable lead, round about Easter.
City look more or less the same, in fact they might just do a bit less this season taking into consideration added pressure from holding the league and an older Yaya Toure.
Chelsea look more solid, looks like Mourinho's squad is looking like he wants it, but Lampard's leadership may be missed.
Arsenal are stronger and very hungry, but lack experience of league winning pressure, I don't think we'll win it but getting 2nd might just set us up for a title the following season.
Liverpool have weakened offensively but strengthened in terms of team chemistry, they will play together rather than look for Suarez and will be capable of more variety in the attack.
All in all I will not be shocked if any of these win the league, there are only 4 realistic champions this year.
The Champions have made their intentions clear
They are in no mood to give away the title
I am beginning to THINK i made a BAD mistake switching sides lol
They will see in their next tricky fixtures.
The CHAMPIONS showed their mettle today and can only get better as the season progresses - remember the away form last year ? - I reckon the other TITLE contenders (Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea), will be worried ?
