Does anyone think any club will be able to break into the top 4 this season?

Personally i think if manchester city can continue this good form and keep the players happy then they have a great chance. The only problem with them will be having so many big stars in the team who want to be played week in week out, so it will be hard to keep them all happy. Also the defence looks very suspect despite some big signings from premier league rivals.

Personally i would like everton or astonvilla to break into the top 4 as they are clubs who have built on previous seasons good work to challenge and create a tougher premiership.

Tottenham also have spent alot of money and could potentially do it and under harry i wouldnt be supprised to see them in the top 4 at the end of the season.

Another thing i would add is if someone is going to break into the top 4, who do you think is likely to drop out?

Personally i think i has to be arsenal, because although they have some great quality and can beat any side on their day, they dont have the consistency of liverpool, chelsea and manchester united, who i all expect to be within the top 4 at the end of the season despite poor attempts to make the squads stronger through the summer.

I am a big fan of Aston Villa and would love to see them break into the top 4.

I am an admirer of Martin O'Neill and I am a fan of his transfer policy of buying young English players.

I can see city breaking in however, not this year but maybe next.

Yeah, i agree with aston villa. Martin O'neil is a brilliant manager but this season i will be supprised if they come 5th or 6th, let alone 4th. Their squad isnt big enough this year and although they have some quality, they will miss Gareth Barry alot, his ability to sweep up behind the midfield was brilliant and was able to get from box to box well. Manchester City however i could see in the top 4 this season definatly. Arsenal wont sustain a good run in the premiership with their current players although im sure they will do better than last season.
