Time to write my Premier League predictions. Here goes:

1) Man Utd - I think this will be a very tough race with the top three all challenging. Ultimately I think Utd will win out.

2) Man City- I only want to see some more playmaking ability in the central midfield, then I'm convinced.

3) Chelsea - Again, this team will challenge in a very tight race. My only concern here is width.

4) Liverpool - A big improvement is expected. I think the big teams will outmatch them in possession at this point and make victories against the best difficult.

5) Arsenal - Fabregas and Nasri seem out. No centre-back was brought in. Yes, they are still better than 75% of the league and will be brilliant, but the loss of Fabregas especially is a huge blow. People continue to underestimate just how good he is.

6) Tottenham Hotspur - Need a forward to partner VDV. Dawson is the only consistent in central defence. Gallas is older and not as good as some claim; King, though brilliant, can only play so often in a good year. We don't know where Modric will end up.

7) Sunderland

8) Stoke City

9) Everton

10) West Bromwich Albion

11) Aston Villa

12) Fulham

13) Bolton

14) Newcastle Utd

15) Blackburn Rovers

16) Norwich City

17) QPR

18) Wigan

19) Swansea

20) Wolverhampton Wanderers - They gained way more points than can be expected against the top half of the table last season. Expect a giant regression in this area, and therefore you end up with a bad team.
