With Utd improving, Chelsea and Liverpool (you would assume) to come back after poor starts, and Newcastle's emergence, there are likely seven strong top four contenders this year. Missing out on the top four used to be seen as failure for any of the big six. I'm not sure that's the case anymore - you could have a pretty strong season and still miss out. Could we see the top clubs start to place more emphasis on the domestic cups to help define success?
