How are the Premier League title contenders? Arsenal Leicester

In any other season, Pep Guardiola prancing Manchester City would probably be on the table the rest of Paris.

A trainer from the list A bona fide, backed up with a lot of money when you combine rappelling ropes whenever attempted change would under normal circumstances to reduce to play League under other items of Champions the rest of the Premier League.

Who will win the Premier League?

This is one of Leicester city in the world, but. A world changed slightly sporting miracle that compete only for cutlery enough done far. If Leicester to win the Premier League title, all excuses for City, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea are on the table.

If the mix the fact added that foreign coaches were so lucrative installed at the height of his power with a television contract in the best clubs that has made rich not only the rich, but produced poor princes, it is hard to find a time to remember when the Premier League was also competitive.

Lucre may be dirty, but it will make for an exciting season 2016/17.

Guardiola City, read, Jose Mourinho, Manchester United. Neighbors can be noisy still, but most verbal part is reliably cut through the cobbled streets of the red part of the city instead of blue. Sir Bobby Charlton and Sir Alex Ferguson, watching his every move, Mourinho obviously be at their best. It is when you win.

It is about the double training session at Chelsea, as Antonio Conte beds in their new concert, while the appearance of a man with that "white people." If he can improve not absolute 10th place last season dethroned champion, several names of the stars are waiting for long journeys to go and never come back.

Manager of the Spurs, can Mauricio Pochettino season against Liverpool, Jürgen Klopp requires in terms of their long-term plan Tottenham as a major force to establish, but means the pulsating energy of the German Liverpool could come much faster than many anticipate. Borussia Dortmund, who needs a sixth and fifth place finishes before Bundesliga title back-to-back win.

Arsenal is still Arsenal. Arsene Wenger remains Arsene Wenger.

The essence of the dictates of the competition, there will be winners and losers from, but maybe it's time to reevaluate what constitutes success and failure, as it would be possible to finish as low as seventh, eighth same season next and still basically he has a decent job.

the mind of Stephen Hawking is required, no trailer leaves to work in a week (can West Ham United and Southampton argue that it should be in all nine, taking into account their respective positions last season), during the same seven (or nine) in four places in the Champions League is uncomfortable leading meeting room in May cats for at least a few executives.

Last season, the dog (s) bitten all season in the ass of the outsider. As much fun as it was, it is unlikely to repeat the phrase. before large quantities are unlikely this time with new men Guardiola, Mourinho and Conte to leave his chin corner among the best exposed in the industry.

In just two weeks before the start of the season in the Premier League it means trying that the world to stop in vain to get friendly things like summer memories not flooded play games on the premises of Beijing are curled at the edges, faded yellowed photos never thrown in a drawer again be seen.

Here we look at Arsenal, Chelsea and Leicester City, we assess where they are and what they still need to reserve what would constitute success (relative) for the next season.

On Saturday we will run the rule over Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham.

Arsenal (2nd last season)

What - what's on it?

Unfortunately for the fans club, not much really. If you Granit Xhaka detect the end of May gave the impression that Arsenal would beat the market hard and early subsequent transactions, or rather the lack of it, which means that they are ill-equipped better in recent seasons, where low visual feast made, but never about consumption.

Gunners manager Wenger prosecution countered Jamie Vardy seemed a significant change, but not intrusive (Transfer) Touch on behalf of the French. It was as if he was finally the time had now assumed instead of constantly living in the future. Wenger has not been paid as £ 10 million for a player of 29 years or more; here he would have been prepared, among others, to £ 20 million, according to Jeremy Wilson, the Telegraph to go.

With the ability to a ball behind the hunt Vardy meet probably suffocated perennial Arsenal in the middle cross. It was also the villain of grass, is very obvious, they have for years.

Since Wenger was like a teenager who he believes is never rejected by her first love get over who has spent the summer apparently despondent and playing Morrissey in a loop. Big names such as striker Gonzalo Higuain, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette and Edinson Cavani were speculated as potential targets in vain.

Everyone was throwing at a wedding money on television like confetti. Rob Holding came as a good chance of Bolton Wanderers, but before a knee injury ruled Per Mertesacker until Christmas, it was clear that Arsenal need to buy a central midfielder for the first team ready. Now there is an emergency.

Olivier Giroud with Laurent Koscielny, Aaron Ramsey and Mesut Özil all on the afternoon back before the season, after prolonged efforts to Euro 2016 is to start Arsenal in real danger of the new campaign from a standing start. They have less in place than jogging were sleeping on the job.

It seems unlikely that such CEO Ivan Gazidis by Sky Sports that Arsenal "can not afford outgun competitors who have a lot more money in the transfer fee to issues that" are the owners of some of the most expensive tickets calm season in European football.

Of course, the moans and snipers would be nothing but silence should - land PFA Player of the Year Leicester City Riyad Mahrez, almost an agreement is carried out, according to the French striker side (the sun), among others.

What - what would constitute success?

. 11, years after their best positions of the Premier League should not look down from second place last season was a great joy was to due to Tottenham for the first lady of honor, but everyone in the conscious Club usurp it be - be not be easier chance of winning.

Finishing 10 points Leicester is champagne just because of the outbreak of bottles. It's hard to believe two Manchester clubs and Chelsea not be much better than last season, Liverpool, probably to reach such a place in the Champions League will not be a bed of roses.

Ins: Granit Xhaka (£ 33.8m Borussia Mönchengladbach), Rob Holding (£ 2 million Bolton), Takuma Asano (unnamed, Sanfrecce Hiroshima).

Departures: Isaac Hayden (£ 2.5 million Newcastle United), Wellington Silva (Undisclosed, Fluminense), Jon Toral (loans, Granada), Dan Crowley (Oxford United loan), Ryan Huddart (loans, Eastleigh), Mikel Arteta, Mathieu Flamini and Tomas Rosicky (all free).

Chelsea (10 last season)

      

What - what's on it?

On the one hand have a lot of talent, but look flat and lifeless last season with an embarrassing defense of the title he had won in the previous year, the acquisition of N'Golo is can Kanté only the perfect transmission.

No player in the Premier League read better than last season edge game. An experienced pickpocket, made more interceptions (156) and equipment (175) than any other player in one of the five major European leagues, according to Opta. The French could peel an orange in his pocket without being noticed.

Conte likes to play his side with tireless energy and enjoy a game with high pressure possession. Edge could be the key to dictate the pace of Chelsea; a human metronome should do play better under a manager to on their own game day as carry water.

After their long sabbatical season Eden Hazard shone at Euro 2016, and seems a bit between the teeth to have return after they fall in love with Mourinho, Chelsea and perhaps for a large part of the national campaign. a brave man who will the anger risked Belgian will be the instructions of his manager, if disobedient activated.

If Conte wants always three reproduced in a high line, Roman Abramovich has to convince to buy him another center half. He met with the workhorse of Leonardo Bonucci Juventus, but need to act quickly when John Terry, Gary Cahill and Branislav Ivanovic as his options as to prevent three.

It is unlikely that the trio could Alumni last summer like wine Compo, Cleggy and foggy a Gritter chasing a hill to roll down when a striker confronted with Tempo.

In the preseason he has a 4-4-2 formation, moves away from its proven 4-2-3-1 Chelsea. Cesc Fabregas had while still reservations about its ability to play in two plants, impressed Conte and start a forgettable campaign last season, and almost certainly the season as first choice next edge.

Victor Moses was a surprising star of Chelsea before the season so far, and certainly seems instead that they start paying the term relating to the team Conte. It may be that Emanuele Giaccherini Chelsea was in Italy Conte summer.

It will be interesting to see how Conte Diego Costa discussed, if he stays in London, the Spanish international spent most of the summer, with speculation about a return to Atletico Madrid. The couple either love or terminate that participation in high-off fight Cobham training ground of Chelsea before the end of August should the stage provide entertaining scenes occur.

A £ 33 million Belgian striker Michy Batshuayi happened again Olympique Marseille get comparisons with Didier Drogba has. If Costa leaves Batshuayi is immediately to the extent that Conte Ruben Loftus-Cheek has seen in a leading role to work with Chelsea short of options in the front center.

According to the Telegraph Matt Law "Conte wants to four other players on his Chelsea - Add team before the transfer window closed, the £ 150 million to the club -. Expenditure summer could take the brand"

Alvaro Morata Real Madrid and Lukaku Everton cited as offensive. Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly is a return to center-half looks at how Kostas Manolas AS Roma Victor Lindelof and Benfica.

What - what would constitute success?

It is an interesting question, Chelsea. Conte working with a team that have won the Premier League title last season, and was more than just two players bring to spend £ 60 million allowed. Throughout his career, he was the winner in series, and he knows clearly how to build a successful team title.

Chelsea last season was Devilish, but without the distraction of the Champions League, Conte is a lot of time to work with his players than their competitors. It is best, in training camp and quickly made an impression on his new duties. When he speaks, you listen.

10 last season After a return to the top four would meet the requirements of the club's board, but perhaps not the requirements of Conte. If he can add another star signing before the end of the transfer window, as a thrust could not be over Chelsea.

Ins: Michy Batshuayi (£ 33 million, Marseille), n'golo kanté (£ 30m Leicester City).

Departures: Stipe Perica (£ 3m Udinese), Wallace (ready Gremio), Andreas Christensen (loan Borussia Mönchengladbach), Nathan Ake (loans, Bournemouth), Nathan (loan, Vitesse Arnhem), Lewis Baker (credit - rate) Alex Kiwomya (loan Crewe Alexandra), Joao Rodríguez (loans, Santa Fe), Charly Musonda (loan, Real Betis), Mitchell Beeney (loan Crawley Town), Kasey Palmer (loans, Huddersfield Town), Angban Victorian and Jeremie Boga (loans, Granada), Tomas Kalas (loan Fulham), Matej Delač (loans, Mouscron-Péruwelz), Reece Mitchell (free, Chesterfield), John Swift (free reading), Marco Amelia and Kevin Wright (both released).

Leicester City (1 last season)

   

What - what's on it?

If, as expected leaving in the next few days Mahrez edge of the Premier League champions, Claudio Ranieri is best to keep the combative mood to Leicester City.

The Italian was decidedly pragmatic in its approach of summer attacks on their star names, firm in his insistence that every player wants, should leave, this may be done. He seems to have taken from the observation of Albert Camus: "Blessed are the hearts that can bend, never break."

However, it is hard not to feel a little of this depressed. understand all Leicester fans that Ranieri or Camus.

Perhaps with Jerry Seinfeld on loyalty in sport more apt:

Allegiance to a sports team is pretty hard to justify. Since the players are always changing, the team can move to another city ... it's about clothing encouraging to come to him.

They stand and cheer and shout his clothes to beat the clothes from another city.

The fans will be so in love with a player, but if he goes to another team, Boo. This is the same person in a different folder, now hate! Boo! Various T-Shirt! Boo ...

Also could not find it to be another season to taste Champions League with a side forever in the annals of great sport immortalized for outstanding performance once in a lifetime edge or Mahrez? Why not even dream go better if the bird and the impossible touched?

Nothing Mahrez or edge can may get to Arsenal or Chelsea even remotely fit what she was doing in Leicester.

The blow was still around. If not cry Vardy on her pillow Mahrez should as Arsenal players are inconsolable presented cries, "what should have been" to the a better person to give him credit. began name Vardy sign with a major rival gradually year on the day of the deadline, the bet of the summer.

Mendy Nampalys new man is a player Ranieri knows their time together at AS Monaco. You can fill a huge hole through the disposal of edge left, remains to be seen. Adding Vardy Ahmed Musa to support the front are Leicester further against the pace attack. You can go a little longer for a loss of fraud in midfield to compensate when Mahrez North London moving.

the requirements of the Champions League National Games will be the most difficult task Ranieri be to juggle to meet. He can shed his nickname Tinkerman in Leicester, but it could show up again this season.

What - what would constitute success?

Ranieri is allowed, the money Mahrez to reinvest to follow, but would have been very difficult to keep the pace again at the top with a full complement of his team title. Now the vultures have affected a top-seven would be quite successful yet for the foxes.

If they can convince Mahrez stay (I hope they do, but they will not suspect), an inclination of the top four finish can not be beyond.

Ins: Ahmed Musa (£ 16.6 million, CSKA Moscow), Nampalys Mendy (£ 13 million, Nice), Ron-Robert Zieler (£ 3 million, Hannover 96), Luis Hernandez (free, Sporting Gijon) Raul Uche ( unnamed, Rayo Vallecano).

Departures: n'golo kanté (Chelsea £ 30 million), Andrej Kramarić (£ 8.5 million, home), Joe dodoo (free, Rangers), Jacob Blyth (free Motherwell), Jonathan Maddison (free Yeovil Town) Ryan Watson ( free Barnet), Paul Konchesky (free Gillingham), Kyle Bailey, Jack Barmby, Dean Hammond, Aaron Hassall, Michael Kelly Keenan King, Harrison Panayiotou, Mark Schwarzer and Max Smith Varnam (all free).
