| The Premier League returns soon. Are you ready? |
The usual title contenders City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Spurs will be bullish about their chances, but it’s not outside the realm of possibilities that West Ham should continue their resurgence under Scotsman David Moyes.
Notable outfits Everton failed to impress last season, but Frank Lampard will be looking to improve his standing among legends-cum-coaches in the top flight. Newcastle will have billions in their arsenal, & all eyes both in football and the rest of the sporting world will be trained on their performance.
