What to watch for

Muqaddam: Most teams have had a shake up, so the first side to gel together will gain a significant advantage for the season. The goal for all teams must be to avoid Juventus getting back on top but a lot of the newcomers to the league will need to adjust quickly. Looking forward to lots of tactical masterclasses as we have Allegri, Mourinho, Spalletti, Sarri, Inzaghi, Gasperini and Pioli vying for the UCL spots.

Peter: Despite the exit of stars, this Serie A season still cracks out as a tight top 4 race with Inter failing to protect their title and falling out of top 4.

Robbie: This season will be one of the most open in recent years. I think about 7 teams have a chance to reach top 4 but with the return of Allegri, Juventus should remain at the top. Hoping Milan will secure a top 4 finish again!

Will: Despite the outflow of talent during the transfer window, I think this is going to be a very fun season with several teams that can legitimately win the title.
