People, we have 20 days left until all is right with the world once more. The Premier League is set to kickoff on Saturday, August 14th. Let’s take a quick look at each team’s chances before the start of the season.
Arsenal
Arsene’s young guns will be back at it again attempting to break their trophy drought this season. At this point, they seem to have retained the services of captain Cesc Fabregas for at least one more year. The arrival of Laurent Koscielny will be a welcome boost at the back, while Marouane Chamakh will allow for greater output upfront. The Gunners will do well to better their position from last year, but may need a few more signings to truly challenge for the title and compete in Europe. I alse see them playing stronger teams in the domestic cups as they search for silverware; to do this they need greater depth in squad or they may compromise their league chances.
Signings to make: A new goal keeper (Mark Schwarzer, Igor Akinfeev) and more cover in defence (Brede Hageland) to replace William Gallas who is probably on his way out.
Last Season - 3rd
My Prediction – 3rd
Gallas is gone. Campbell too (shame!) and Silvestre (GOOD DAMN RIDDANCE!)
