English Premier League: Top 5 predictions for the upcoming season

2) Arsenal

Wenger has had little sympathy from the press especially when he loses his big players, unlike the situation at Dortmund. And last season was horrific not only to the boss, but the fans too as they had to watch Robin van Persie produce those typical scintillating performances to help Manchester United win the English Premier League in his maiden season at the club.

But of course, it’s surely going to be a different environment next season- with Fergie and Mancini gone, the possibility of Arsenal finishing in the top two and even going ahead to challenge Chelsea for the crown is realistic, if only they add some signings in the summer transfer.

The club have been heavily linked with Real Madrid’s Gonzalo Higuain. Getting the striker at the club next season is sure to boost the club’s attacking options as Giroud has struggled on few occasions. That is surely down to the club though, if they make good signings, the Gunners are title threats.
