The Premier League is going to be a very close battle this season and thee discussions about who will finish in the top four are probably going to run and run right to the very end of the last game in May.

So I am going to stick my neck on the line and make my predictions now, which I may change throughout the course of the season but part of me hopes I do not have too.

I am going to go for:

1. Chelsea
2. Manchester United
3. Arsenal
4. Aston Villa

I think Man City, Spurs and Liverpool are going to come up short this season. Martin O'Neill is doing excellent work at Villa Park and I agree with this expert from Betfair Football they will get the final Champions League qualification place.
