The Premier League season is nearly upon us, kicking off on Friday with Liverpool vs Norwich City, so it's time for us at SPORTbible to set ourselves up for a fall with our season predictions.
The Women's World Cup and Cricket World Cup have kept us busy over the summer and the Football League and Community Shield gave us something to get excited about last weekend but this weekend it's time for the main event to start, the Premier League.
Last season Manchester City earned a ridiculous 98 points. Even more ridiculous was Liverpool's 'failure' to win the league despite their 97 points, but can the two sides keep it up this year?
We've asked around the team to see how people think the season will go. Remember to save the article and tweet us your abuse in May...
