Now that almost all the leagues in the world have started, I have decided on my predictions for this season (barring injuries).

I will kick off with what many call the best league in the world, the Barclays Premier League:

1.Chelsea
Under the guidance of the controversial José Mourinho, I believe they will dominate.

2.Tottenham Hotspur
So long as they gel as a team with new players Erik Lamela, Roberto Soldado, Christian Eriksen and Paulinho (José Paulo Bezerra Maciel Júnior), they should be able to climb to second, even without Gareth Bale.

3.Manchester United
Unsuccessful transfer market bids have put David Moyes and United on the back foot, with only Marouane Fellaini joining the club.

4.Manchester City
A very consistent team, with a new boss and a couple of new strikers.

5.Liverpool
With Daniel Sturridge and Brendan Rodgers winning Player Of The Month and Manager Of The Month respectively, Liverpool will become a good team next season.

6. Arsenal
With Mesut Ozil’s arrival from Real Madrid the only signing for the new season, I don’t think Arsenal will be good enough this year.

For the Liga BBVA, I predict:

1.Real Madrid
With Carlo Ancelotti returning as manager, coupled with the major signings of Gareth Bale and Isco (Francisco Román Alarcón Suárez), Real Madrid fans should be in for a great season and a lot of success.

2.Barcelona
Barcelona have lost some of their magic; they are still a brilliant team but they are no longer powerful enough.

3.Atlético Madrid
Their game is based around David Villa and counter-attacking football, and they lacked class in their last two games against Barcelona, which drew 1-1 and 0-0 respectively.

In Fußball-Bundesliga:

1.Bayern Munich
With Pep Guardiola taking over as coach, I think Bayern will cruise to the title after a bit of competition from Dortmund.

2.Borussia Dortmund
Not too far behind Munich but still lagging slightly, although their new signings look exciting.

3.Hannover 96
With strong wins over Mainz and Schalke, they look competitive, but still have a way to go to catch up with Bayern and Dortmund.

And for Serie A:

1.Juventus
Have started off well and are only fifth on the table due to goal difference; they look set to take out another Serie A trophy.

2.AC Milan
With Kaká (Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite) back controlling the midfield, and a strike force with Mario Balotelli, Stephan El Shaarawy and Robinho (Robson de Souza), Milan should improve again this season.

3.Napoli
Top of the table after two games, they have shown that they can do well without Edinson Cavani.

Finally, I think that Bayern Munich will take out the UEFA Champions League for the second year running, securing their position as one of the best Bayern teams ever.
