I think that there will be a new champion.....
1)Arsenal FC: Among the top four clubs in EPL, Arsenal FC is the unpredictable one..... As Shebby Singh said in Football Focus, Arsenal FC is young but they are old in experience...... I don't think Arsene Wenger will be affected by all the transfers and transfer rumours.... Last year, Arsenal led the league table for the first half of the season... This shows that they were still at their best even without Thiery Henry..... Even though players like Flamini and Hleb left, I think they will be at their best with new players. The key players will be Walcott, Adebayor, Toure and Fabregas.... They wii be this year's league winners.
2)Chelsea FC: This will be a completely different team under Scolari...... Roman Abrahomovic has given Scolari the complete freedom in buying and selling players.... The key players will be Lampard, Drogba, Ballack, Terry, Cech and Deco.... This being Scolari's first season in EPL, I dont think they will win the league this year.
3)Liverpool FC: Only two things to say:(a) If Keane-Torres-Gerrard combination works out well and (b) If Benitez stop experimenting, they will win the league.
4)Manchester United FC: Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer rumours linked with Real Madrid FC will definitely affect them this year..... It is clear from Sir Alex Ferguson's and some of the players responses that they are affected by Ronaldo's transfer rumours..... Do not expect last year's Ronaldo when he returns from its injury.
My Predicton is: 1) Arsenal FC
2) Manchester United FC
3) Liverpool FC
4) Chelsea FC
Dark horse would be Tottenham Hotspurs.

I still feel Arsenal are lacking and I am not saying that based on their defeat to fulham. I feel they need more solid players in their team and more transfers would have done them a lot of good.
Based on the start I feel Chelsea are looking like the best team at the moment.
Though that can and will change most likely.
And I do not think Liverpool will win the premiership either. God knows how they pull it off in champions league every year but EPL exposes them genrally. With gerrard aging every year only a miracle will make liverpool win the league this year.
Manchester united have their own set of problems and are looking shaky to say the least.
Even though I do not like em much - i believe Chelsea are looking the most likely to win the league currently.
