The European Championship may have only finished four days ago - which feels strange - it's already time to look ahead to the Premier League season to come. 

Granted we have just watched the majority of the leading names in the top-flight battle it out in either the Euros or Copa America,but in just 32 short days the Premier League will be back. 

It feels like forever since Manchester City snatched a record fourth crown on the bounce from the clutching fingers of Arsenal on the final day,and we lost all three newly-promoted sides Sheffield United,Burnley and Luton. 

This time round there will of course be three more fresh faces - in the shape of Ipswich Town,Southampton and Leicester City - and of course another fascinating tussle for the crown. 

But will City make it a five-peat and invite accusations of turning the division into a farmer's league? Will Arsenal finally go that extra step? Or will we have another Leicester-esque miracle? 

Kieran McKenna and Ipswich surprised the nation when they put together a promotion-winning campaign but it looks set to end in heartbreak

Wolves had been a much improved outfit under Gary O'Neil,who spent vast portions of the season without his preferred three attackers,but the prediction seems to suggest this season could be a rough ride up at Molineux. 

Nottingham Forest managed to beat the drop by the skin of their teeth last term,but much like Wolves will struggle to repeat the feat according to the supercomputer,with Ipswich's fairy-tale rise ending in a slump back down to the Championship with just 18 points - the sixth-lowest of all-time.
