I think Manchester United will win. They won this year, and they are only going to get better because they are very young. With the addition of Carlos Tevez (hopefully, if they get it figured out) they will only have an even stronger attack. With Rooney and Ronaldo coming off great seasons, who's to say that they won't win another EPL title. I don't even like Man. U, but I believe they will win their second EPL title in a row.


I will take chelsea any day of the week , they have plenty of great players :

1) petr cech : arguably the best goalkeeper in the world , he is a 1 time best goalkeeper of the world and best goal keeper of the primiere league he also holds three records (no goals allowed in 855 minutes , and primiere league record with no goals allowed in 1025 minutes,
2) frank lampard: a great midfielder one of the dangerous outside goal scorers in the word known for his strong shots, he was the runner up after ronaldinho for best player in the world award in 2005
3) didier drogba: one of the best forwards in the primiere league he was named English golden boat (most goals scored) and African player of the year both came in 2007
4) john terry : the captain of both Chelsea and the England national team , he Is regarded as one of the best defenders in the world. He was the 2005 uefa champions league best defender.
5) micheal ballack : the german national team captain , a very versatile midfielder , he can defend and attack and scores at the same time , he is known for his strong shots and a very dangerous midfielder. He is a 3 times german player of the year and 1 time uefa midfielder of the


I admit that they have a very good lineup, but every year, they seem to add more and more big names. Some of which just don't fit in. What about Shevchencko? He was a total bust last year. Chelsea need a second striker if they want to win this year. Lampard may not even be with the team, he probably will, but it's a possibility. They also will need to stay healthy this year. How can you count out Man. U. they have the perfect mix of veterans and rookies. They will win, no questions asked.


You can never say that a team will win: ??? they will win, no questions asked??? . noone knows who will wins , I am just showing that the best team on papers is Chelsea they have one of the best if not the best defense in the premiere league with petr cech , john terry, Fabio carvalio . they have one of the best midfields in the world : frank lampard, michlea ballack , claude makelele, joe cole , they also one of the best scorers in the world drogba , and andriy chevchenko (he did not play great last year but he is a former uefa football player of the year , he is second all time on scoring list European club competitions with 59 goals , he is a 3 time top scorer in the league with acmilan and dynamo kiev, he has been nominated for fifa player of the year the last 8 years, )
I also have 1 question , since you are saying that man united will win no matter what , what if for god forbid one of the players got injured ?


They may have the best team on a paper, but when you have a team like that, they just don't have great chemistry. I think they could still win. They won last year with basicly the whole defense out at times. And all your doing is naming players and stats. They have a very good team, but Man. U's midfield is the key. They now have Hargreaves, so that only makes them stronger in the midfield. Back to the injury thing. They did it last year. And they still kept rolling. Man. U will win the EPL for the second year in a row.


as i said before you can never know who will win , fc barcelona was 7 points ahead of real madrid in the liga this year and they have 3 great great players and then real madrid catched up with them and eventually won the liga. fc chelsea won the primiere league two years in a row with less talent than the team they have , now adding all this talent and having great all around team , they are the favorites to win the primiere league not manchester united

I think Man U is been built better now for the long haul- will win the Premiership.
However, Chelsea & lesser degree Liverpool will beat out Man U for FA Cup final spots & probably go deeper in Champions League

You have to say ManU are still the favorites, especially with the form that C.Ronaldo is in. They are eventually going to sign Tevez and a few more signings this offseason. I think they finally got Owen Hargreaves. You'll also be seeing a lot more Fangzhou this season.

We know they did. But last year, and this year, they went and threw the chemistry off by buying all of those mega stars. They were very good then and they had very good chemistry. And now the experience is with Man. U, because they just won the EPL. Go Man. U.
