Probably best to do this at the end of the transfer window to be fair...
Watched Chelsea yesterday and Torres was as bad as he was the past 18 months, Hope this continues.

I think Chelsea are in trouble for a few reasons:

- Key players are aging or have suffered serious injuries, Lampard, Terry, Essien, Drogba and Anelka. Even Cech is not the keeper he was. All of these were key players when they were at the height of their powers.

- The continual turnover in management and their back room staff must make top players think twice about joining the club. It is not a settled and calm background for a player. For those players who can go to any top club there are better options.

- A young manager with one year's top level experience in one of the lesser leagues in Europe. Managing players older than himself and players with massive egos.

Well that's me hoping anyways

Thing that will really Help Liverpool, is no Europe... Looking at Arsenals fixtures from their official site, straight away I noticed this...

13 Sat Barclays Premier League A Newcastle United 17:30 ESPN
16/17 UEFA Champions League N Play-off Round 1L
20 Sat Barclays Premier League H Liverpool 12:45 SS1
23/24 UEFA Champions League N Play-off Round 2L
28 Sun Barclays Premier League A Manchester United 16:00 SS1

Thats two champions league games sandwiched between Liverpool and Manchester United. Tricky.

Edit ; That Arsenal fixture schedule might look tricky. But if they draw some part time team from Eastern Azerbaijan they could just rest the big guns and play the kids. Hence resting them for the bigger games. But it is a tough start for them PL wise.

Yeah true... the travelling they will have to do plus Liverpool will be training and only focusing on Arsenal where as Arsenal and Arsene wenger will be slightly distracted plus if they draw the first leg who knows.
Still to early to call as Chelsea may buy Modric, Fabregas may stay or may leave. Just hoping Suarez can fire Liverpool back in the Top 4.

That award Suarez is holding WTF? It has a phone in it... Know wonder Suarez has got that confused look.

After watching many pre-season games including everyone of Liverpools games... Im gonna change my Top 4 prediction...

Premiership
1st Manchester United
2nd Manchester City
3rd Chelsea
4th Arsenal/Liverpool

Though I think Its gonna be very tight between Chelsea Man U and Man City.
Liverpool Have been diabolical in pre-season and It will be close between them and arsenal
can't make my mind up on who for fourth, Depends on if Fabragas and Narsi go and who replaces them.
