Chelsea and Spurs.
Not many top sides in the PL other City and Liverpool.
Leicester could break into the top 4 imo.
Could still end the weekend above

Leicester won't break into the top 4, but they might make the top 6.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I thought that initially too but the lack of quality outside of the top 2 makes it possible
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Just because the rest of the teams aren't as good as City or Liverpool, doesn't meant there isn't quality. Arsenal and Spurs are still very good teams, and both better than Leicester.
Not sure about United, can't see them going on a good run like when Ole first started, but they might change manager and have a revival.
Chelsea clearly not going to do as well as last season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Spurtle, Spurs are not a very good team at all, four wins in six months says so. And all those were against relegated, promoted or relegation fodder teams.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Poor teams don't get to the finals of Champions Leagues, Sandy.
We are a top team that were in poor form, that is all. Whether we still are in poor form remains to be seen, but I happen to think that we'll start doing better than at the end of last season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Spurs had a charmed run to the final, sneaked through the group, got lucky against Man City, got extremely lucky against Ajax and were easily beaten by Liverpool. Dortmund home and away were in reality the only convincing performances. Spurs had an enormous amount of good fortune to reach the final, even though I enjoyed the run. Spurs lost as many as they won in the CL.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why look at it as a negative? Shows our level of belief that we keep on fighting until the last minute. And we had a tough draw from the group stage to the final so hardly fortunate.
The fact remains we got top 4 and reached a CL final, all the while changing stadium during the season and countless injuries, and people treat it like it was a terrible season now and Poch didn't do a good job?

I don't see why we can't challenge again. City's defence has taken a hit now too.

It remains to be seen whether the run of form Spurs is on since the turn of the year is the norm.
Quite possible that things are going a bit stale for the manager.
United have been quite average at best since Feb/March, but Spurs have been worse.

I think this season will be the season when the cartel at the top is finally broken. Leicester, Wolves even West Ham are all looking better than Chelsea, Spurs, Arsenal and United.
About time the cartel was broken up, it is so boring seeing the same top six clubs all the time.
Man City will win the league at a canter in my opinion. Liverpool will not keep pace with them like they did last season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Such bitterness, old man.
Liverpool and Man C with continue to challenge each other, right to the end.
Watch and learn.

Ironic really, City have never won the Champions league and Liverpool have never won the premiere league.
Can't see that changing this season!

We're looking good and ready to challenge.

Think you'll win it this year. Sadly.
Incredibly hard for one team to be consistently better than the rest for 3 years on the bounce. Think City's level might drop very slightly, but enough for Liverpool to win. Think you'll both be hitting 90 points again though.

Think this is the nature of the PL for a few years now... Top 2, then a mixed bag of inconsistencies
