The 2012-13 Premier League season kicks off this weekend and reigning champions Manchester City are narrow favourites to make it two in a row, ahead of rivals and neighbours Manchester United.
United have been busy in the transfer market and as well as signing Shinji Kagawa this summer will on Thursday add Robin van Persie to their ranks, while City last week spent £15million on Jack Rodwell.
Chelsea have been the summer’s big spenders in the transfer market, and ahead of this weekend’s opening fixtures in the Premiership, Bettingpro.com tipster Raymond Doyle believes the Blues look good value to take the title.
Will new signings Oscar and Eden Hazard help Chelsea to the Premier League title this season? Raymond expects Roberto Di Matteo’s side to mount a serious title assault.
The bookies make the Blues third favourites to win the league behind the Manchester duo, with Arsenal, Tottenham, and Liverpool next in the betting.
