Dale McCarthy's 2009/2010 Predictions: Part 2

6. Who's going to win the Champions League at the Bernabeau?

Going to plump for Chelsea. The are well overdue, Lampard and co. get so close every year and they have to win it soon.

7. Who are the PFA going to dub 'Player of the Season'?

Andrei Arshavin was outstanding for Arsenal when he came into a faltering team last season. Arsenal’s Russian playmaker can be devastating and he’s carried last season’s form into pre-season. The Gunners won 50% of games without him last year compared to 67% when he’s in the team, and their points per game increases from 1.79 to 2.42, quite staggering. His starring role at Anfield was one of the greatest performances in Premier League history and he’s only played in 16 league games.

8. Who's going to be the PFA's 'Young Player of the Season'?

If Jack Wilshire gets enough playing time, he's in with a shout of scooping all of individual awards for youngsters, and he could even head to the world cup (he is that good). But Wenger may be cautious in his developmentm which will may see his first team chances limited this term. If this is the case, Lee Cattermole might be a candidate. If he continues to improve, he’ll be undervalued at 10million by Wigan. Personal problems and night clubbing aside, this player could be very special.

9. Which manager's going to have a season to remember?

Anchelotti will make this one to remember by giving Chelsea their first title since 2006.

10. Which manager's going to have a season to forget?

Phil Brown will not be singing at the KC come May -- I’ll be surprised if he makes it to Christmas.

11. Give us a random prediction?

Aston Villa may struggle to finish in the top ten this term. The top four will be occupied by the Big Four. Man City and Spurs will improve on last season. Everton are always there. As I’ve explained, I think Sunderland will climb the table, only leaving two places in the top ten. The loss of Barry will hurt them and Martin No’deals inactivity in the transfer market makes Arsene Wenger look like Florentino Perez.
