      Carra getting his face back on sky. I guess we're all meant to of forgot about the gollying incident. And Gary Neville is making his way back there to now that England are out. Suddenly Granada's coverage of the World Cup doesn't matter.

      Well Sky did say when they suspended Carra, that he would be back for the start of the following season!

      No team has managed a successful defence of the Premier League title since Manchester United in 2009 - but will this season be different?

      That is the aim of Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, a winner of three consecutive league titles in both Spain (Barcelona, 2008-11) and Germany (Bayern Munich, 2013-16), who saw his side finish 19 points clear of the pack last time out.

      But who will challenge them in 2018-19? Can big-spending Liverpool mount a serious challenge? Will Manchester United narrow the gap? Can Tottenham improve? And are Chelsea and Arsenal contenders after changing their managers in the summer?

      We asked 24 BBC TV and radio pundits to pick their top four with explanations for their selections.

      The predictions were made on the basis of how each squad shaped up on Wednesday, 8 August, before the opening weekend of the season, but two days before the deadline for incoming transfers and with the potential for players to leave up until the transfer window shuts in the rest of Europe at the end of August.

      Predictor   1st   2nd   3rd   4th
      Ian Wright    Liverpool   Man City   Man Utd   Arsenal
      Ruud Gullit   Liverpool   Man City   Chelsea   Man Utd
      Martin Keown   Liverpool   Man City   Tottenham   Man Utd
      Dion Dublin   Man City   Man Utd   Liverpool   Tottenham
      Alex Scott   Man City   Liverpool   Man Utd   Arsenal
      Joleon Lescott   Man City   Liverpool   Man Utd   Arsenal
      Mark Lawrenson   Man City   Liverpool   Man Utd   Arsenal
      Matthew Upson   Man City   Liverpool   Man Utd   Arsenal
      Alan Shearer   Man City   Liverpool   Man Utd   Tottenham
      Danny Murphy   Man City   Liverpool   Man Utd   Tottenham
      Pat Nevin   Man City   Liverpool   Man Utd   Tottenham
      Lindsay Johnson   Man City   Liverpool   Man Utd   Tottenham
      Charlie Adam   Man City   Liverpool   Man Utd   Tottenham
      Danny Mills   Man City   Liverpool   Man Utd   Chelsea
      Mark Schwarzer   Man City   Liverpool   Man Utd   Chelsea
      Rachel Brown-Finnis   Man City   Liverpool   Chelsea   Tottenham
      Sue Smith   Man City   Liverpool   Chelsea   Tottenham
      Paul Ince   Man City   Liverpool   Chelsea   Man Utd
      Kevin Kilbane   Man City   Liverpool   Chelsea   Man Utd
      Stephen Warnock   Man City   Liverpool   Chelsea   Man Utd
      Jermaine Jenas   Man City   Liverpool   Tottenham   Man Utd
      Chris Sutton   Man City   Liverpool   Tottenham   Man Utd
      Chris Waddle   Man City   Liverpool   Tottenham   Chelsea
      Leon Osman   Man City   Liverpool   Tottenham   Arsenal
      Six teams feature in the forecasted top fours, and only Manchester City and Liverpool feature in all 24.

      In terms of who will win it, Manchester City are favourites, with 21 votes.

      Liverpool get the other three.

      Overall predicted ranking, using all BBC predictions
      (using system of 4 pts for a 1st place, 3 pts for 2nd, 2 pts for 3rd and 1 pt for 4th)

      1. Man City   2. Liverpool   3. Man Utd   4. Tottenham   5. Chelsea   6. Arsenal
      93 pts           74 pts           34 pts           18 pts           15 pts   6 pts

      It’s deserving. I have already filed paper work with the courts to legally change my sons names. Braylon and Ripkin will soon be known as Naby and Kieta.

      He's a United fan and to hide it would be too obvious.

      And to be fair Carra very often gives us the Liverpool perspective. Neville is a Utd man...Carra is a LFC man...let battle commence..

      Souness is the best pundit for me on SKY.

      I don't mind Alan Smith as well doing the commentary.

      Cannot stand Martin Tyler....he thinks hes the bollox and always up the Mancs and Chelsea's arses.

      He says it as it is and doesn't mind who it upsets and I tend to agree with a lot of what he says as well.

      That's main reason why I like him. More often than not he's right as well.
