Am onto thinking about next league campaign already

Would just urge caution to those stating it will be another 2-horse race as Us and City were miles ahead of the competition

We are living proof that you can close a 25 point gap.

I think the other teams are so far behind at this point that they're all going to have to spend vast amounts to catch up and I'm not sure Arsenal and Spurs have the appetite for that in one go and United simply need too many new players - they are currently were we where in 1991.
Maybe Chelsea are the ones who'll be prepared to splash the cash perhaps. We really need to take our chance to break this league title thing soon though because they will catch up eventually. I reckon we've got a couple of seasons.

We had a core group of players, used to the managers style and philosophy, and brought in a few quality additions. Other than Spurs, i don't think there's another team in the top 6 who are in the position. Chelsea can't sign anyone and will possibly life their best attacking player. Man Utd are not looking good and need rebuilding, and arsenal will need a whole new defence to challenge. I expect a top 3 of Liverpool, man city and spurs next season, in that order.

Chelsea won't be spending anything.

I forgot about the Chelsea transfer ban but aren't they still fighting that? So yeah, if that stays in place then they won't be spending anything!

I think Spurs will be dangerous again next season and Arsenal will be much improved personally. I can also see Wolves and Everton potentially overtaking Man U next season.

Fully expect Arsenal to be challenging, might close the gap to around 10 points this coming season.
Just a few new additions and watch them take off.

Stone, at this rate I see Burnley and Norwich over taking United next season.

I think there is a fair argument that none of the chasing pack will catch up to Liverpool and Man City in a year. They surely have to be closer but all 4 won't just jump by 25-30 points. That's just unrealistic.

Chelsea are the closest to us, but they have a transfer embargo looming and potentially will lose their star player. They have a lot of good young players, but that doesn't close a 25 point gap. Hinges on keeping hold of the likes of Hazard and Kante really which they could easily do to be fair.

Spurs are probably the biggest threat. They were well in the title race before their team burnt out. They're also worthy Champions League finalists and may yet beat us to the crown. If Levy pulls his finger out, they can make strides next season and eat away at that gap. I don't know how the stadium debt will affect them but you'd think they have money to spend after 18 months of inactivity and their European run.

Arsenal need an entire new team in between Leno and their strikers. The whole defence and midfield are not up to the required standard. Emery has a bigger rebuild job than even Ole does. I can't see them getting close to Spurs or Us, let alone City.

Onto United and it fair to say they could go either way. They have a lot of good players, but their only world class players don't want to be at the club. They also have a lot who think they're better than they are. They will throw money at the problem as they always do though. If they get the recruitment right you have to say they will be better next season. How can they be worse?

And finally I don't think we should rule out Leceister. Rodgers is a very good coach and Leceister have some of the brightest talents in the Premier League in Chilwell, Ndidi, Barnes, Maddison and Tielemans. Throw in good players like Pereira and Vardy and they arguably have a better starting line-up than Arsenal and Man Utd pre-transfer window. And they will spend big too.

It is okay to praise this squad of Liverpool players. They are the 3rd best team in the divisions history. The gap will be smaller next season, but I don't expect it to be closed and I don't expect a 6 horse title race. I think Spurs will make it a 3 horse race, and Leicester will make it a "Big 7" by breaking into the pack.

Don't for one second think that City and Liverpool will stand still this summer though. Liverpool want the League next year and City want Europe. So they will also be making forward strides! Promises to be another blockbuster season whatever happens so we need to be at the races from GW1.
