The first weekend of the new EPL season has 2 potentially cracking matches:
Spurs v Man City
Spurs will want to prove that they are worthy of a champions league place instead of Man City. With players like Bale, Lennon, Modric, Dawson and Huddlestone developing further, they will feel confident of doing well in the new season.
Man City have boughts lots of new players with Milner and Balotelli (another potential talented troublemaker) about to join them. But they haven't bought any really great players and their defence, despite 2 new full backs and 2 very good keepers, doesn't look strong. Team unity and morale may play a key role in their ambitions this season. There's huge pressure on the manager and his big name and big money players.
The other match is
Liverpool v Arsenal on Sunday.
Liverpool should be much improved this season, now that Benitez and his micro managing and petty ways have gone, and Gerrard and Torres have decided to stay. Arsenal look good but they really need a good solid keeper, which they still haven't got.
