Manchester City were crowned champions of the 2011-12 season, proving that the dominance of Man Utd and Chelsea can never be taken for granted. Determined to reclaim the top spot, Man U and the Blues have taken advantage of the transfer window and their ample budgets by adding to their squads, whereas Man City, who by no means lack the cash, have been somewhat hesitant in the purchasing department; nevertheless, Roberto Mancini’s men believe they’re on target for a second Premier League trophy this season. Meanwhile Arsenal look set to lose their star striker Robin van Persie, perhaps even to Man City, who have offered the highest bid for the Dutchman so far. With these and other burning issues still to settle, there’s everything to play for come Saturday 18 August, when the Premier League 2012 gets underway.
