Premier League Preview - Part 1

So the premier league season is only a few days away (Have you joined our Fantasy Football Game yet?) This is a quick view at all 20 teams, split into five parts, and where I think they will end up this season. So anyway here we go.

Arsenal
So….Arsenal they play very nice football, sadly for Arsenal fans that isn't enough fopr them any more they want one of those silver things that Man United and Chelsea seems to be getting a few of on recent years. Its five years since the FA cup triumph in 2005 and even longer for a league title.

Key men:
Fabregas and Van Persie. Fabregas who isn't off to Barcelona this season is the heartbeat of Arsenal if he is playing well so are Arsneal. Van Persie is key because they are a lot more threatening than when he is on the treatment table again, They have brought in Chamakh to ease the burden on scoring goals too.

What do they need: A better than average keeper and they might have won something in the last few years. They also need the new defender they have signed to quickly bed in with Vermaelen.

Mystic Jarv's prediction: Third, Still not god enough over the long haul to oust United or Chelsea and may spend some of the campaign looking over their shoulders at City and Spurs.

Aston Villa - Written before Martin O'Neill quit
Villa are a very well run club, however that appears to mean they will sell their best player and be happy to finish top half of the table each season but little better. The Europa league is of little benefit to Villa and they may as well not bother playing Rapid Vienna as sooner or later they will rest players and go out so it may as well be now.

Key Man: Ashley Young, Strangely Young looks like a world beater until around February or March then goes missing and so does Villa's form.

What do they need: To stop selling their best player every season and to add a few more quality player to their squad depth.

Mystic Jarv's prediction: Eighth, possibly even Ninth if Birmingham have a good season.

Birmingham
Last season's surprise package, helped considerably by having the excellent Joe Hart in the net. Ben Foster will have a tough time filling Hart's gloves and he is crucial if Brum are going to match or better their last seasons performance.

Key Men: Foster for the reason mentioned above and Lee Bowyer, Who will need to be on top form to get close to matching last season.

What do they need: Lots of hard work and a little luck.

Mystic Jarv's prediction: Ninth

Blackburn Rovers
No-one likes a Big Sam team, I'm not even sure Big Sam likes them some of the time. One thing for certain is they will be very tough to beat at home. Phil Jones looks like he will mature into an excellent defender and Swede Martin Olsson looks the real deal too.

Key Men:
a Few, Robinson, Newly retired form international football was a quality keeper last season. Ryan Nelson, a good centre back and not often noticed which is good for a Centre back.
What they Need: A really good goal scorer

Mystic Jarv's prediction: Tenth.

Come back tomorrow for part 2 including Blackpool, Bolton, Chelsea & Everton
