| Fans and players alike, all are looking forward to the beginning of the new EPL season. Manchester United are title holders, the question is: can Chelsea wrestle the title from Man U? |
The 2010/2011 season finished in this order from first to fifth: Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur. It is likely that these clubs will still remain in the top 5 at the end of the coming season. Their positions will however not likely remain the same. It is all about scoring goals. The team with the best strikers will out score the others and claim the title. Can Chelsea make it? Manchester United is a very good side any day. They are not going to sit back and allow any team easy access to the coveted price. Last weekend they came back from a 2 goals deficit to beat neighbors Manchester City 3-2 in the community shield match.
if Villas-Boas can resurrect Torres' career and persuade Colombian forward Radamel Falcao to move from FC Porto to London, and add Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka Chelsea might have a potent enough strike force to challenge for the top spot in the Premier League.
Defending champions Manchester United has a very good strike force. Wayne Rooney, Javier Hernandez and Dimitar Berbatove can always deliver the goals any day. New players are also joining the team for the new season, goalkeeper, David De Gea from Atletico Madrid is one. Wesley Sneijder, the Dutch playmaker from Inter Milan may also join the team before the transfer window closes on August 31.
Arsenal is expected to do a lot more in getting new players to strengthen the team if they are to remain in the top four at the end of the season. So far, Manager Arsene Wenger can only boast of the Ivorian striker, Gervinho from Lille in France for $17 million.
Manchester City can also give title holders Manchester United a good run. Man City manager Roberto Mancini has Aguero and Emmanuel Adebayor who was on loan with Real Madrid is back to join in the attack.
The fact is that Man U remains the team to beat this coming season. No team can just pick the price without a lot of hard work, focus, determination and discipline.
Can Chelsea win the title? It is still too early to tell.
