Players out: Rio Ferdinand (Manchester United, �30m); Danny Hay (Walsall, free).

Last season: Fifth

This season's odds: 16-1

Player to watch: Robbie Keane

Our verdict - Fifth
There is no doubt Leeds will miss Ferdinand, but new boss Terry Venables has kept the bulk of his talented squad together. The addition of Nick Barmby down the left will give Harry Kewell the chance to shine in a more central role, while Robbies Keane and Fowler could form one of the Premiership's deadliest partnerships - though Mark Viduka may have something to say about that.
