EPL: Why Mourinho Will Defeat Wenger Again This Season

Chelsea FC will win the 2015/2016 English Premier League title in spite of their Community Shield loss to Arsenal last weekend.

This is the opinion of Gary Lineker, a former Tottenham and England striker, who also commented on the summer’s biggest signings.

Chelsea were crowned EPL Champions last season, and have been tipped to retain the trophy

Lineker, who spoke on British Airways First Class hot seat for an exclusive quick-fire Q&A video ahead of the new league season, which kicks off this weekend, said:“It’s great to see so many fans travelling to the UK to watch a Premier League game live and believe me it’s worth the journey.

“If you can get tickets for a derby game, you’ll experience an atmosphere like never before. It’s electric. Witnessing a game where it means so much is really special; the speed, the pace, the physicality of the football, will be something that lives with you forever.”

PM News reports further that the ex-England international predicted that Chelsea will retain the EPL title because they have strengthened a bit from what they had previously, adding that their dominance from last season will not be cut short.

“For the Premier League, I’ll probably go for Chelsea again. They’ve strengthened a bit and they were so dominant last season. I’ve got a feeling for Manchester United for the FA Cub, and my old club Spurs for the League Cup – it’s about time they won something,” the former Barcelona attacker stated.

On the big money summer signings coming into the league, he said: “I think Schweinsteiger will be interesting to watch at Manchester United. Sterling going to Manchester City is going to be really interesting. A lot of money – but if he realises the potential that he has, he might turn out to be a bargain!”

Chelsea lost the Community Shield to Arsenal courtesy of a lone strike by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain at the Wembley stadium, to end manager, Arsene Wenger’s 13-match winless run against his Chelsea counterpart, Jose Mourinho, with both managers ignoring each other after the match.
