Folks plese give your opinions....  

Well I believe so but arseanl seem to have the most chemistry at the moment also be wary of tottenham and man city if they get it together

I believe our team will beat Chelsea to the Title. It may not be pretty but it's still a Title

Chelsea look strong, but they might need to re-think the "Diamond formation".... It lacks width.... And Chelsea can't play in such congested conditions...

I can see Chelsea challenging United for the title but there are a couple of other teams in the mix. Assuming yesterday wasn't a fluke, Arsenal are seriously down for the battle. Spurs are looking strong so far and City will always cause problems.

It will be a great season!

As we all know United has had a lot of signings and a lot of departures over the last few months, so I guess we'll all have to see if SAF can find a definite lineup soon enough to get some chemistry on the pitch

They have the team to do it, just down to the formation. They have not looked great so far although they won against Man Utd and Hull.

2 upfront does not work for me. Drog needs to be the main man with support coming from midfield.

I would say on paper up chelsea really have the strength to beat ManU to the tittle.... But from the game yesterday(against hull), chelsea had quite a difficulties to put the ball into net with the new formation(tactic diamond) from Mr. Ancelotti....
Unless they get used to the tactic quick or their performance could suffer when they meet a better team than hull.... Btw, it is just my opinion....

Chelsea's only problem at the moment is we're missing that extra spark that joe cole brings to the field. Right now teams only really need to lock down lampard and drogba. Anelka can't create for himself and neither can malouda. Once those other two players are out of the equation the ball simply can't get to the net. Sure essien is fantastic but he plays further back (even when he plays on the right side of the diamond) so unless we get him back playing at the highest level he can play quickly after his injury has healed we may have some troubles.

With that said united need to gell a little more and learn to use this new system more effectively. Looks to me like another slow start for them and that may just cost them. All in all I think this will be a very close and exciting title race (don't count out liverpool just yet either), but I'm leaning towards chelsea since we do seem to have more of a hunger and drogs is looking fantastic so far.

I'm surprised at how little mention Chelsea fans are giving to Zhirkov, who I believe was a fantastic signing. Around £18 million was splashed on him and most Chelsea fans i've talked to have just said 'who? '

I love Yuri, he was a brilliant left winger for CSKA these past few years and he showcased fantastic skill for Russia playing as a left back during Euro 2008. He is an explosive player as well as a creative one, he makes a great deal of chances and could be what Chelsea seem to be missing in midfield.

I think United will win the title, although if Chelsea do then I believe Zhirkov will be pivotal

I definatly think so. They have a strong and consitant squad. They somehow hardly lose. They always like score in the last minute or do one comeback. They have a good coach. And they didn't sell any good players. I think they problem is the players he plays in the midflied. I think it should be

Essien
Ballack Malouda

Lampard

I'd say the first game of the season is a little early to be making many predictions, especially with some surprising outcomes. I'm gonna' give it a few weeks before I try to make any decisions Although, I hope Man Utd are strong enough to retain the title another year

About the zhirkov post, i've seen the man play for cska and he does excellent everytime. But i've never seen him shine in the uefa (now europa) league. The BPL is much different from the russian league with much faster and much more tallented defenders. So I'm waiting until yuri makes his first appearence in this league before I start calling messiah

I think Chelsea have the best squad right now and that they can win the league. The only thing I am not sure about is carlo ancelotti, he is good manager but not an epl proven manager. He only won the serie a once (if my knowledge is right) so this makes me question if he capable of wining the title in england. He could be the next mourinho or the next scolari
