Tickles me that people think Arsenal will be challenging for the title
They'll be 4th at best

We were still on course for a 57 point end of season total in November that’s season and won the league.I remember 2 seasons ago when we walked the league there was also a crazy start. By gameweek 5 we were bottom half, Pool mauled by Villa who was unbeaten and top 4, other mid table teams like Leicester had also started fantastic.
Then came the busy period and the outsiders fell off as soon as they got injuries or tiredness. The likes of Newcastle won't be able to keep this sort of game plan they used against us up for entire season. Brighton lacks a goalscorer and they will lose silly points. In the end the top clubs will gradually return to top 6.
The only one for me who can really make a big leap is Arsenal. I know it is early but there's just something there when I watch them. We didn't look this good first 5 games under Pep when we won 5 in a row but ended the season scraping for top 4. Add quite a lot of depth and I'm pretty sure they'll challenge for title this season.
