Arsenal at 15's this early doesn't seem a wacky bet, United, City & Chelsea under new management and Wenger's promise to spend money.

Roberto Martinez resigns as Wigan manager. Can only see him going to one place and that's Everton (unless Malaga tempt him with European football now their appeal was successful and a return to his homeland), especially as Mark Hughes is apparently going to be unveiled as the new Stoke manager.

Thinking there will be improvements for Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool, a decline in City, Spurs and Everton and I have no idea what to expect from United yet, though obviously a top two/three finish is likely. Really depends on how the summer transfers pan out I guess, would like to see Norwich land another mid-table finish, as they're the closest club to me so it's easy to go see games

Can't see a decline in City personally, think the players will thrive under Pellegrini and his positive football.

No idea how I feel about this season yet, not sure I want Martinez and will be the only season with that crape badge. Also looks to be like loosing a few big players in the summer so this may turn out quite bad. At least Martinez has relegation battle experience.

No idea how this season is going to go. Out of the op 7, 4 have new managers.
Pretty positive for us providing we sign some of the players we've been linked with.

For the first time in years, I'm looking forward to a new season in the BPL. It just feels like a fresh start, a whole new era is ahead, it's going to be great!!

City will do well. I'm unsure about us and Chelsea. We could go either way. Wish we hadn't let Steele or Menulsteen go, they've both been fantastic. I'll support David but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. I like how Liverpool are more likely to be relegated than win the title I also like the gold "Champions" next to our name Spurs and Arsenal both decent odds for the title tbh. Martinez will probably go to Everton.

I think Arsenal are a decent shout. Just glad to be in the great league at last! Just hoping we stay up.

I'm quietly confident Villa will go down next year with Benteke likely to leave.

I agree with Noza, City for the title. Pellegrini will be given money and will take no nonsense from the players. Will get them focused and playing well.
I'm hoping we can finally crack the top 4 again. Will make a full table prediction in August.

I reckon we'll be a lot better this year & could finish around mid table.

Dave Whelan has said he's agreed compensation with Everton for Martinez.

Aston Villa have done some good business so far.
