Bookies have caused few surprises in ranking the favourites for Europe's top leagues with the reigning champions installed as the hot picks in England, Germany, Italy and Spain.
Chelsea are fancied to retain their crown just as they did in 2005-06 after scooping the double last season in a spectacular debut campaign for new coach Carlo Ancelotti. The Blues are 2.62 to be celebrating again next May.
Last season's runners-up and 11 times Premier League champions Manchester United are 3.50 to get their crown back. Punters who back United will be hoping the Red Devils emulate their title winning campaigns of 1992-93, 1995-96, 1998-99 and 2006-07 when they won the league after finishing second the previous season.
Meanwhile over in Germany reigning champions Bayern Munich are a short price at 1.53 to keep the Bundesliga trophy in Bavaria for yet another season. Raul's new side Schalke 04 are 8.50 to win back the trophy won by their coach Felix Magath when he was in charge of Wolfsburg in 2008-09.
Speaking of Die Wolfe, they are 21.0 to win the title under new boss Steve McClaren, who led FC Twente to the Eredivisie last season. Werder Bremen are 8.50, Hamburg 15.0 and Michael Ballack's Bayer Leverkusen are 15.0.
The top four in Italy have all switched managers, with the exception of Roma. Claudio Ranieri is 5.0 to go one better than the Giallorossi did last season and win the title 10 years on from the Romans' last triumph.
Milan are also 5.0 to top Serie A for the first time since 2003-04 while Juventus are the same at 5.0 to win the league for the first time since emerging from Serie B back in 2007. Fiorentina are next up on 41.0 with Sampdoria long shots at 67.0 to repeat their title triumph of 1990-91.
Familiar names Barcelona and Real Madrid top the bookies' tips in Spain. Between them the Clasico rivals have won the last six titles. Barca are 1.80 to win three in a row with Los Blancos 2.10 to keep up Jose Mourinho's record of winning the league in his debut season in charge.
Valencia, who were the last team from outside the big two to win La Liga, are 51.0 to wrap up the title as they did in 2002 and 2004. Sevilla are 34.0 with Atletico Madrid also on 51.0.
In France, Lyon are 2.65 to win back Ligue 1 after being pushed off their perch in recent seasons. Holders Marseille are 2.85 with 2008-09 champions Bordeaux a decent outside bet at 6.50. Lille are 10.0 with glamour side Paris Saint Germain at 15.0.
