Guys,
Premier League is starting next week. Lets have a discussion about EPL and what do you guys think about who will win this season or how will your favorite teams gonna perform.
Last year, Leicester City winning the league might be a biggest feat any underdogs will have achieved in our lifetime. They surprised everyone and I really don't know how they gonna perform this season.
But the biggest attraction for me is to see how Pep and Mourinho gonna do with their teams. Pep's Manchester city has added multiple attacking threats to their teams. With Agüero, Silva, KDB, Sterling, Nolito and Gundogan, their attacking looks immense. With exciting new signing of Leroy Sané and Gabriel Jesus, Pep is building a team for decades to come. But I personally think, they still got to do some defensive improvements. Kompany is getting injured constantly now. Zabaleta and Sagna are into their early and mid-thirties. Otamendi was okay last year(not quite sure about his strengths). Main question mark would be on Joe Hart, their no.1 goal keeper as his error cost England their dream of Euro 2016.
But shrewd Pep might take his team to glory.

Talking about Manchester United, people who follow club soccer/football must be familiar with Mourinho's success. Sacking FA Cup winner-LVG and appointing Chelsea sacked Manager Jose Mourinho was a big decision for Manchester United Board. But given the ornamented resume of Mourinho and desperation of Manchester United to land a Premier League title post Ferguson era, this decision could prove to be in favor of United. Mourinho has a history of success in short time and that is exactly what United are currently looking for. After the utter failure of Moyes, appointment of LVG was a hope. But still after spending hundreds of millions of dollars, fans were unhappy of United's performance and being unable to qualify for Champions league put final nail in LVG's sacking coffin. :(
But with Mourinho, United were able to attract players like Zlatan and Mikhitaryan. Also, it is almost evident that Manchester United would break world record of most expensive player transfer in the history of sports by signing Paul Pogba from Juventus for the more that 100 million pound. They are supposed to announce early next week. So with all this signing and given Mourninhos track record United are also looking stronger.
For me the top 4 would be:
1. Manchester City: They have great attackers and goal scorers.
2. Manchester Untied: Mou is a winner but they genuinely lack goal scorers.
3. Arsenal: Given their history
4. Liverpool: I am not underrating Klopp.
5. Chelsea/Tottenham: Konte and Spurs are other things I am excited about.

P.S. I am Manchester United fan.
What do you guys think?
