The VIPStakes sports representative that blogged from Brazil during the World Cup is back with a series of Sports Blogs in which he will write about the upcoming Premier League. Here's a short introduction about this season's teams, some predictions and betting advice!

Chelsea FC

Last season:
Very much focus was on Jose Mourinho’s return to Chelsea and English football. Very much of his focus was on the lack of strikers in the squad. Samuel Eto’o, Fernando Torres and Demba Ba together managed to score only 19 goals, which was very poor in comparison with Liverpool’s Suarez and Sturridge (53) and Man City’s Aguero and Dzeko (33). They finished the league in third place, four points behind winners Man City. In Champions League they lost to Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals.

Arsenal FC

Last season:
For the first time in nine years Arsenal and Arsené Wenger finally managed to win a title after an exciting FA Cup final against Hull City on Wembley Stadium in May. After a strong autumn season the Gunners league form declined as so many times before around the Christmas period. The absence of injured Aaron Ramsey was evident. At last they managed to finish fourth which mean they were once again qualified for Champions League this upcoming season.

Manchester City FC

Last season:
After a shaky start to the season the Man City machine got going some time into the season. The team were struggling at times with Sergio Aguero’s out injured but Yaya Toure carried the team through the rough times with some help from Edin Dzeko’s goal scoring. That led to the team winnings their second title in three year at the end of the season.

Liverpool FC

Last season:
No one counted on Liverpool to challenge for the league title last year but after an impressive season with striker duo Suarez and Sturridge ripping the opponents defences apart they were really close to win the trophy but points loosed against. Chelsea and Crystal Palace at the end of the season turned out to be too heavy and Man City won the league only two points ahead of The Reds. Liverpool are now looking forward for a new exciting season with improving the defensive as the main priority.

Manchester United FC

Last season:
Many people thought Man United success would stop for a little while whenever Alex Ferguson decided to leave the club. But that it would go as bad as it didn’t wasn’t something even the worst haters of the club would’ve guessed. It ended with a 7th place, which was the by far worst league position for the club since the start of the Premier League. That their rivals Man City and Liverpool were the top two didn’t make things any better.

Tottenham Hotspur FC

Last season:
After the record sale of Gareth Bale Spurs spent their new war chest on a bunch of players last season. Players such as Eriksen, Soldado and Lamela were brought in for expensive transfer fees. After a bad autumn Andre Vilas-Boas was fired and replaced by former Spurs player Tim Sherwood. He got the team to perform better but losses like 1-5 vs Man City and 0-4 against Liverpool and Chelsea will be stuck in people’s memories. At least the season ended in a sixth place.

Everton FC

Last season:
After 11 years at the club David Moyes left Goodison Park for Old Trafford and Man United. Roberto Martinex became the new manager at the club after winning the FA Cup and getting relegated the previous season with Wigan. Not many people thought he would achieve the same results as his forerunner especially since the club sold their key player Maroune Fellaini who joined Moyes at Man United. After a great season where the teams looked like they’re heading for the Champions League they at last finished at a 5th place just behind Arsenal who stole the last Champions League spot.

Stoke City FC

Last season:
After many years under Tony Pulis and his conservative type of play it was time for a change to a more attacking and exciting football under Mark Hughes. The first half of the season didn’t go too well but after Christmas the teams started to pick up wind. Players such as Peter Odenwingie and Marko Arnautovic played their best game and together with Crystal Palace and Liverpool they were the best team of the second half of the season.

The VIPStakes sports representative that blogged from Brazil during the World Cup is back with a series of Sports Blogs in which he will write about the upcoming Premier League. Here's a short introduction about this season's teams, some predictions and betting advice!

Hull City AFC

Last season:
After an ok start of the league season the team shifted their focus to the cup tournaments during the spring and was for a while in real danger of relegation until a home win to Swansea a couple of rounds before the end more or less guaranteed their safety. The most remembered match of the season was the 6-0-win home to Fulham in the Christmas period. The January buys of Shane Long and Nikola Jelavic turned out to be successful and the duo scored a nine goals between them during the spring season. Funny fact is that they were the only team finishing on the bottom half of the table that managed to beat Liverpool during the season (3-1 at home).

Newcastle United FC

Last season:
After avoiding relegation with a small margin the previous season Newcastle started their 13/14 campaign very positively beating teams such as Chelsea and Spurs. After the Christmas period the good results ended and they lost 14 of the 20 last matches of the season. The absence of draws still made up for all the losses and the team ended the season in 10th place.

The VIPStakes sports representative that blogged from Brazil during the World Cup is back with a series of Sports Blogs in which he will write about the upcoming Premier League. Here's a short introduction about this season's teams, some predictions and betting advice!

Sunderland AFC

Last season:
After a disastrous start of the season under Paolo Di Canio with the Black Cats only getting one point from the eight first matches the charismatic Italian saw himself getting replaced by Gus Poyet. With some great results in the cups as well as the league the former Chelsea midfielder got the team to stay up. Among the victories the two away wins against Chelsea and Man City are something Poyet can look back at with a smile. He made players such as Adam Johnson, Fabio Borini and Connor Wickham play on the top of their ability again.

Queens Park Rangers FC

Last season:
When QPR was about to start their Championship campaign last year their combined wage costs were higher than teams such as Dortmund and Atletico Madrid. They did their best to cut the spending by selling and loaning out a number of players at the same time as they tried to build a team that could bounce back to the Premier League straight as soon as possible. After finishing fourth in the table they won their playoff semi-finals against Wigan and eventually the final against Derby after a stoppage time winner from Bobby Zamora. So after only one year away the R’s are back were back in the top flight again.
