Who will be our main rivals this season?

[Marvin]

Fitness of KDB is a huge concern but why Foden?

Only that he had a foot injury that Southgate described as being minor and yet kept him out for a long time.

When did the waistcoat become a doctor?

It's Fodens first injury of any length and the club rightly in terms of his age/progress took zero risk.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

I said it at the end of last season but those twats from over the road I reckon. Christ knows how, unseen dark forces perhaps.

Would’ve said Liverpool but African nations will decimate their front line. So Chelsea.

Chelsea lose Mendy though who tbf keeps them in games sometimes before they nick wins, but yeah losing mane and salah leave the scousers quite toothless up top

It could also save leeds as all their relegation rivals bar norwich have players going.

Phil was out for a few months after getting injured at Leicester in the Cup, when he’d just broken into the first team.

They only miss 2 games - and they are 2 very winnable games even without mane and salah

Just what I was about to post.

Third and fourth round FA cup and league fixtures against Brentford and Palace.

 

[bluevalley]

After six games I think it will be the same picture as last year, It's still ours to lose with United being our main rival, third and fourth is going to be a tossup between Liverpool and Chelsea.

Chelsea has a good defense but you can't win a title with that, United on the other hand they have a great team they can get results despite their manager.

 

[jrb]

Our sporadic dip in-form. Play like we did against Chelsea in every PL match and we'll win the PL title again.

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

Have to go on a winning run now after the international break
Chelsea have a favorable looking run of games coming up
