It’s a difficult one to call this season but I still think we’re the team to beat
I think the top six will be as follows
City - Strongest defence in the league by miles and deadly forwards , perfect combination for a title winning team. The only doubt is a very thin squad that could be derailed by a couple of big injuries
Arsenal - they will be the perennial bridesmaids of this current era, decent team on paper but would you taken any of their starting XI over any of ours ? Only Saka at a push , but is he better than Foden or Bernardo ?
Liverpool - Splashing the cash but still big questions over starting with a completely new midfield. Defence still looks suspect , which has been their achiles heel recently. They will score goals though which makes them dangerous. If the midfield clicks they could be in the mix
Chelsea - Pochetino should have them playing as a team and he works well with a young squad. I don’t think they’ll properly challenge though, and I think it will be tight on who finishes top four between them and Utd
United - Seems like they are trying to move to a more possession based team but without the players to implement this style. They don’t have a decent playmaker in midfield that can dictate play but as ever they have pace up front and will be dangerous on the counter attack. Unfortunately for them that doesn’t get you the points you need over the season to win the league.
Newcastle - they were lucky last season that the scousers and Chelsea were complete basket cases. FFP is starting to bite for them now which will hold them back from making the next step. Seems like other teams are raising the stakes with transfers fees to push them out of the equation. Will they be able to break their glass ceiling ?
