The usual suspects, with Chelsea leading the pack. If we sign a top centre forward and steer clear of injuries we'll still be the team to beat though. Our problem like last season is due to our tough start and players coming back late we could be playing catch up again.

Chelsea, spurs could unwittingly help their rivals win the league by stopping us from getting kane

My concern is we are not winning the big games anymore... Rags, Chelsea FA Cup semi, Chumps league final, Charity Shield...

Not sure they will be our main rivals but they will be better than last year. I'm surprised they haven't dipped into the transfer window and bought a midfield playmaker because thats what they're missing. Van Dick, Gomez and the dipper fans will bring the good feel factor for sure back to the team.I think Liverpool to be honest, quite a few players had the summer off and they hardly played any cup games last season.
All in all now that they have Lukaku, an absolute beast of a forward I think Chelsea will be the team to beat.

Chelsea.....and us of course, there are games when we become our main rivals and do everything the hard way.

I don't disagree. We won the title on the back of that incredible winning run we went on, in the end winning it by 12 points. Chelsea were in transition, the rags, well were the rags and Liverpool had their injuries. I doubt this season we'll claw a deficit back if we drop 6+ points behind

Chelsea followed by the Rags. I think Liverpool will turn out to be a paper tiger. Leicester should not be underestimated, they have a decent squad. The rest have as much chance as Norwich.
6 points is nothing in this league to crawl backI don't disagree. We won the title on the back of that incredible winning run we went on, in the end winning it by 12 points.

There is one team missing from the poll and that is ourselves
