Order of Top Four
Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City & Liverpool
Manchester United added more depth and young blood to freshen the team. Villas Boas will bring the Blues within a hair of winning the title. City's inconsistency and Champions League campaign will mean they'll stutter in the league. Liverpool will pip Arsenal and Tottenham for the last Champions League spot.
Relegated
Swansea City, Blackburn, QPR
Player of the Year
Wayne Rooney will finally prove he's the man in the EPL without all the personal problems he had last season. He'll be among the top goal scorers but his assists and overall work rate will be the difference for him winning.
Young Player of the Year
Jack Wilshire: With a full season under his belt and Arsenal looking weaker by the week heading into the EPL season, the precocious English youngster will be the shining star during Arsenal's season.
FIrst Manager to be sacked
Steve Kean, Blackburn: Flirted with relegation last season and no major signings to improve the team this year, he'll be done by October.
