The Rest
Middlesbrough has been dominant in the last two seasons but the competition is more fierce than ever.
With Arsenal under new management in experienced manager Stephen Woodhead and newly promoted Everton under the leadership of Paulo Francisco, a master tactician - the English Premier League is a very even competition this season.
All three of the mentioned teams can win the gold this season and it will be a margin's game for the teams involved. Can Stephen win gold in his first season as Arsenal Manager? Will Paulo win the league and make Everton legendary as he has done in the past with Barcelona? Will Paul add a third consecutive throphy to his merit?
At the end of the season, we will find out...
Next step
