Surprise: Zenit. Tapped by many pundits as relegation zone fodder, Zenit has instead put together a strong first half of the season and currently sit in 11th place.
Disappointment: Arsenal. Most people expected their playmate Spurs to struggle, but seeing Arsene Wenger's side flirting with relegation is a new sight for Gooners.

Shortlist
Our look at potential BVB targets



Does Draxler prefer black and yellow over blue and white?


Julian Draxler
20 years old - LM/CAM/RM - 6'2 165 lbs
FC Schalke / Germany

The only thing better than signing one of Germany's bright young talents would be signing one of Germany's bright young talents from your arch rival. Getting Draxler would for sure be considered a coup for Dortmund, and the result would get them much more than a feather in their cap over Schalke. Draxler is the type of multi-dimensional attacking midfielder that Dortmund prefers, capable of playing on the left, the right, or through the middle. Some even believe Draxler's long term future might be upfront. Even though Draxler is a long shot because he plays for the Royal Blues, it is still worth keeping an eye on the youngster. After all, even the most diehard BVB fans admit he is fun to watch.
