MICHAEL OWEN vs THE £10,000,000 COLOSSUS
Michael Owen attacks the Colossus In my season-opening piece, I have actually tipped Bournemouth to be relegated in 18th place but I reckon Eddie Howe’s newly-promoted side could at least get their Premier League campaign off to a flying start with a home win over Aston Villa.

THE RUMOUR MILL
Dimitar Berbatov, free agent to Aston Villa Likelihood: 5/5 Villa boss Tim Sherwood is not afraid to put his faith in tempestuous characters; Adebayor thrived under his guidance at Spurs, while Benteke found his best form during the 46-year old’s spell at the helm of Villa last season.

MICHAEL OWEN’S PREMIER LEAGUE PREVIEW FOR 2015-16
MICHAEL OWEN’S PREMIER LEAGUE PREVIEW FOR 2015-16 A lot of people seem worried by the lack of new additions to the Chelsea squad in the summer – just four, with Begovic the costliest arrival at £8m – but they won the league in a canter last season and I’m with Jose Mourinho here.

CONTINUITY BREEDS SUCCESS – WENGER MODEL TO BRING TITLE?
CONTINUITY BREEDS SUCCESS – WENGER MODEL TO BRING TITLE? It is the conundrum we always address prior to the birth of another exhilarating Premier League campaign – will Arsenal mount a sustained title challenge? For the best part of a decade the Gunners have either started sluggishly, relying on a late rally to earn another top four finish, or they have been in the mix early on, before being out-muscled by a Stoke or a Bolton, knocking their confidence and leaving them with a mountain to climb.

PREMIER LEAGUE NEW BOYS TO SURPRISE EVERYONE?
PREMIER LEAGUE NEW BOYS TO SURPRISE EVERYONE? Your mind is already made up isn’t it… Norwich, Watford, Bournemouth – favourites for the drop right? Another three whipping boys making the transition to the Premier League who might start off with a win or two as the feel good factor left over from last season continues, but who’ll make up the bottom three positions in the table come the end of the season.

THE RUMOUR MILL
THE RUMOUR MILL including a new midfielder heading to white hart lane Moussa Sissoko, Newcastle to Tottenham Likelihood: 3/5 As a Spurs fan, I want this deal to happen. Sissoko isn’t quite in the same league as Yaya Toure or Fernandino, but he’s a powerful and imposing midfielder that scares defenders, and that’s something Spurs have been lacking for a while.

The Blues stalwart, who has featured for the club since 1998, played a pivotal role in their Premier League success last season and is likely to be heavily involved in the upcoming campaign despite Chelsea’s interest in John Stones.

CHELSEA’S MOVE FOR STONES SIGNALS THE END FOR TERRY
The King is dead, long live the King! Well, we haven’t quite reached that point yet, but for Chelsea’s John Terry the end is nigh.
