Hello Rank Squad!
The Premier League is back this weekend, and so it's time for it to get the Ranks Preview treatment.
Dean and Jack start by taking a look at Champions Manchester City and whether they've regressed or progressed this summer, before discussing the teams that will look to challenge their dominance. We discuss Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Newcastle in terms of whether they can dethrone Pep's sky blue juggernaut.
Then in Part 2, we look at the European race in a wider context, discussing Tottenham, Aston Villa, and Brighton's summer business, as well as discussing if we thing a rogue contender like Bournemouth could be in the mix.
Finally, there's a look at the newly promoted sides, Luton Town, Burnley and Sheffield United, and then a brief ranking on which teams might be in that relegation battle - Wolves, Everton, West Ham and Nottingham Forest were all in there last season, but could Fulham, Brentford or Crystal Palace get dragged in too?
It's Ranks!
