I maintain that Chelsea will win it.
I'd say they have a chance if Torres somehow rediscovers his form from his first 1-2 years at 'Pool, otherwise, no chance, me thinks - they are bound to have too many draws, even vs smaller teams, I think, due to lack of creativity in the team ...
Man City will be their main opponent, unless Mancio bottles it, Chelski to finish 3rd

They're gonna get better the longer the season goes on and AVB's influence grows on the team. If they don't win it, United will but not City. It may sound simplistic but I think the egos at City will be their "downfall" (still top 3 for them, of course).

they will be their main rival but Silva needs to be more consistent and in be that in the big games to call him "world class" ... shredding Wigan and the likes to bits, and not that consistently either, would likely not be enough, in the end.
Silva is the best player in the world and other players merely strive to reach Silva Class.

yep, that's where the potential for Mancio to bottle it lies.

agree that Chelski would become better as the season progresses just not sure they have enough creativity in midfield to help them overcome a parking-the-bus tactic used by smaller teams at SB. Adding Mata was an important step in solving that issue but how he jells in the team is still to be seen ... could have really used Modric but I guess we'll see how it all unveils :)

Chelsea should stay within shooting distance of the Manchester teams, then spend an ass load of cash in January which they'll either bottle or win the league.
