2015/16 Predictions: Premier League winners & the Top Four

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

In celebration of the Premier League returning in just three days, we've put our sports writers on the spot and asked them: who will be the Champions and what other teams will make up the Top Four?

They say variety is the spice of life and it’s clear our writers do not share that opinion. It is fact-based opinion in this office and all eight of our writers predicted Chelsea to retain the title.

It seems that Jose Mourinho’s transfer dealings last summer combined with the attacking prowess of Eden Hazard is enough evidence for our team to believe that it’ll be Chelsea’s title to lose this season.

The race for the Top Four is also seen by our writers to be a predictable affair, with all agreeing it will be Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United joining Chelsea in the Champions League spots.

Do you think they’re wrong? Let us know in the comments. And watch out for more previews coming this week.
