Who will win the barclays premier league this season?

Hope for Liverpool to win though. Ending their 19 year draught.

Hi parker, I think it is too early to make any conclusion who will win the Barclays premier league this season. They just play 8 games and there are 30 games more to play. We might can see a more clear picture after December. There is 6 team that capable to win the title this season which is Chelsea, Manchester united, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur. All of the team also still compete in 4 cups. This also a main factor to decide the winner. The more they play the more pressure and stamina needed. Their focus also might altered especially when its come to European Cups (Champion League and Europa League). Chelsea is currently lead the table from 7 win out of 8 games they have played so far. Chelsea is a strong team and a complete one. And Carlo Ancelotti is one of the best coach in the world. He know how to manage the team and take the best out of it. But they might have a problem when African Nation Cup started January next year. Ivory Coast and Ghana already qualify. So they can forget the service of Didier Drogba, Florent Malouda and Micheal Essien. Camaroon lead their group currently and that mean John Abi Mikcel might join his team mate in Angola. Manchester United, as a title holder, always come with a big ambitions. They key factor is their consistency and the brain of Sir Alex Ferguson. They also have a luck with them (goal in injury time against Manchester City and Sunderland). Their only problem is they still depend on Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes to give extra injection to the team. They are not young anymore and they can not play all the time and need extra rest after each game. Arsenal might have play their best part currently. They play a beautiful games and score a lot of goals. Their squad is their advantage and disadvantage. They have a young squad and they always play their heart out. They can run and run all over the field. But this is also their disadvantage. They lack of experience. And experience is very vital especially when you face a loses and during March, April and May when it is close to the end of the season. Even though they already lost 3 games (to Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa and Chelsea), we can not just forget them. In term of points, there are only 6 points that separate them with the pacesetter, Chelsea. Their main advantage is their scoring power. It is not only come from the striker but also from midfield and defender. Their problems is the defender. They are lack of concentration lately. They only can hope that Mascherano will always play to cover the defender. At the same time it is good to see how Alberto Aquilani will fare in the English league. This season, Manchester City will be the other team who can give the "big four" team run for their money. They spend heavily this season to bring some of the best best in English league to The City of Manchester Stadium. So basically everyone know how English premier league is played and need less time to adept. Just like Chelsea, they will lose some player to a month long African Nation Cup. They will lose Kolo Touré since Ivory Coast already qualify and might lose Emmanuel Adebayor if Togo can go to the final. There is nothing much we can say about Tottenham Hotspur. Their best now is the strikers. They seem to score at will currently. They also have a good coach in Harry Redknapp. So it is too early to make a prediction and a lot of factors can change the result of play.

To be candid it's difficult to say with any certainty the team that will win this season's premiership. I, however, agree that the winner is likely to be any of the top four teams and, may be, any of Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspurs. I feel a bit confident to say that I feel Manchester may not win the league this time. Chelsea seems to be the most determined team to win. However, with Chelsea losing key African players next January (Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou for Cote d'Ivoire, Michael Essien for Ghana and John Obi Mikel for Nigeria) due to Africa Cup of Nations (Angola 2010), the team may suffer some setback. I feel the big spending Manchester City may suffer more defeats than anticipated and lose out of the top spot. Liverpool hasn't looked like a team interested in winning the premiership this season. However, the team has the fighting spirit to stabilize and challenge for the top spot. It'll be wrong for any analyst to write off Arsenal on the premise that Arsenal's players are young and inexperienced. I disagree. The boys are fast becoming men and this may well be Arsenal's year.

I hope chelsea will win it. hope they get a better luck, like MU had all this time. and off course I hope chelsea will win it more than one goal. not in last minute goals, or own goals ;) viva chelsea thanks solatjumat

I hope Manchester United. I support them because of Antonio Valencia. Though chelsea, liverpool, and arsenal can give a fight as well. Manchester City is trying but i dont believe this is their year, i think they are still miles away from the big ones.

I am a United fan, and is as optimistic as ever. It is early to say but this year I think that and have a really strong feeling feeling that Chelsea will win it. Albeit being very close with Man UNited.

i think chelsea will win the cup based on current conditions.with a line of good and agile players that they have, im sure they will win the cup, including UCL as well...
