Who will be our main rivals this season?

I fear it could be over well before the clocks move.

Pep and the team seem to be looking for excuses even this early?

Liverpool and United haven't really played anybody of note yet, so I don't even factor them as contenders.

It will be Chelsea by December or we will somehow wake up these next two league games.

Liverpool have played Chelsea, them pair will finish1st and 2nd, not sure which order, us and utd 3rd and 4th, again not sure which order, not having a striker is going to cost us dearly, only my humble opinion of course
 
We will know a lot more after the next 2 premier games, we need close to a full squad to select from with Paris sandwiched in-between, we have 5 or 6 out injured at present and are thin across DM and CH.

Liverpool have played Chelsea and also have a bounce back in their step and will challenge. So will the rags. As things stand I can see us in 4th place this season but far too early to throw in the towel.
 
I'd say Chelsea but maybe the question should be will we be their biggest challengers?

Who is their left back...?

Would Havertz be in the top few places to get in our starting XI in the biggest game of the season ahead of de Bruyne Foden Gundo Bernardo Jesus Grealish Mahrez?

Forgot about left back but Cancelo, while erratic, is a better player than Chillwell and easily as good as the ex-Bolton and Sunderland lad.

This Chelsea team are nothing special. They’re just very well coached and are hard to play against. United and Liverpool’s attacks give me far more fear than Chelsea’s.

If there’s one thing we should all have learnt under Pep is that we are capable of smashing this league to bits. And we have a better team this season than we did last as we have Laporte back and playing well, a new position for Jesus who’s started the season excellently bar one game, and Grealish.
