City are by far the favorites, but the other 3-4 teams look really good as well. I think we could maybe win it if we get knocked out of the champions league early and city go deep in the cups.

We've got our best squad in years but we'll still crumble after going out of the Champions League to Barcelona and losing Koscielny to a torn calf muscle. We'll end up third.

City are likely to win it based on their squad and manager. Liverpool look fantastic but their squad's a little thin. Mind you, they're not in Europe. I still think they'll fall short. Spurs won't score enough. Chelsea will hit a wall and miss out of the top four. The 3-4-3 looks good at the moment but will eventually be exploited by other teams (a la Liverpool 2014-15) and their squad isn't great. United are bound to get a run together but it might be too late.

1. City
2. Liverpool
3. Arsenal
4. Spurs
5. United
6. Chelsea

This is 100% what will happen, thanks.

Good point and one not often lifted. It means we've got less games so you can bet that it makes a difference.

Nobody thinks we're gonna win the league though and I can't even imagine us winning it. I'd rather see Arsenal than City at the top of the pile though.

Macclesfield Town/Manchester City. It's complicated.
Remember when united fans used to mock people for being ABU's?

Why would peps city be an unpopular winner? They certainly are playing attractive football. And certainly more popular than their midtable rivals and some London clubs. To some extent they would be more popular than Liverpool, unlikely as they may be as champions.

Oh, I can. You're looking very Kloppy. But I think it'd involve a lot of luck with injuries. Leicester won it last year ffs.

Don't be fooled by their comments on here, most Liverpool fans believe it is their year.

Now when have we heard that before...

D'ya think? It's not really any weaker a squad than the one that won the title the year before last. Think we're deficient in a couple of areas if we want to keep going with this system - notably WB and CM - but I reckon it's a decent squad by and large. Also reasonably confident that Conte knows what he's doing given the improvement since the Liverpool/Arsenal fixtures. Pretty optimistic about top four tbh.

Agreed. A decent squad and a manager who after some tinkering has found how to get the best out of the players in his disposal. In Costa and Hazard they have match winners.

Because I've commented on Chelsea title chances doesn't make me a Chelsea fan. I've also suggested that Man City will win the title but do not support them either.

Victor Moses has been one of your best players this season. No disrespect but it's p uninspiring compared to the might boasted by #afc and #mcfc. Mind you it's better than Liverpool's and I've put then second, so I wouldn't listen to anything I say.

By imagine I mean that literally, not as in I consider it impossible. I just can't picture it, we've been second at best for my entire life. For comparison I went through the whole 13/14 never really believing we'd win it. Once bitten twice shy I guess. And we're not significantly better than we were in 08/09 or in 13/14 anyway.
