The football is back, not that football ever went away or went anywhere for that matter but the Premier League is back and so are my predictions.

The long term view is that United or City from Manchester will win the league. Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Spurs will compete for the other Champions League spots, with Arsenal and 15 other teams missing out on the top 4 this season. Leicester will finish in the top 8 but they won't win it again, of course they won't.

Hull, Swansea and Middlesbrough might be relegated. Sergio Aguero could be the top scorer in May. I am not going to try and predict if Gary Lineker will present Match of The Day in his underwear but I am going to try and predict the scores for the opening weekend of matches.

3 points for the correct score and one point for the right result.
