This year provides what could well be the most open Premier League title race in years.
Manchester United are the holders and the favourites. But after losing Christiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid, they look slightly more vunerable. Can they hold on?
Chelsea have a new manager at the helm in Carlo Ancellotti. Abramovich wants his crown back and with the Community Shield already in this season's trophy cabinate they look a good bet. But can the former Milan coach repeat Jose Mourinho's league triumph or will he follow in the footsteps of Grant and Scolari and have a short, trophyless reign?
Liverpool have also lost a key player in Xabi Alonso, however unlike United they have replaced him, in someone who I believe to be better than the man he's replacing. Obviously only time will tell if that is the case, but Liverpool had a great season last year and with Fernando Torres fit again will be looking to build potentially topping Sir Alex's devils.
Arsenal have had another quiet summer, bar their exits of key men Kolo Toure and Emmanuel Adebayor. Obviously Arsene's 'kids' are another year older and wiser so are they ready to mount their first serious title challenge since 2001.
Manchester City are also in the news. They probably have the best players of these five but can they quickly mould together and not only break the top four, but perhaps bring the league crown to the other side of Manchester.
Everton came 5th last year with no strikers for the most part, Aston Villa can beat the best on their day but just didn't hold on, or is there someone else you fancy for the championship?
