Arsenal best equipped to take down City. City is also in a state of transition...losing Gundogan, Mahrez, and potentially Walker is a blow to their depth.
Villa and Brighton are the next in line for sustained success. Villa finally has some good coaching and deep pockets to match aspirations. Brighton is probably the best run organization in the league.
Luton isn't going to go far, imo. Burnley is the newly promoted side who could make noise. Kompany is a Pep disciple and had them humming last year.
My Spurs have a chance to make it back into the top 4 if Ange can find a way to get this team to stop shipping goals...and getting Kane to stay, which seems to be likely now. Kane will be a serious contender to haaland for the golden boot if he does stay. he was already, but with the negative tactics of last year compared to the expansive attacking game that Ange wants to play, should open up even more opportunities to score.
United should be stronger, but who knows? Early assessment of Onana and Mount's buys are not the greatest. Also don't know how Hojlund will adapt to the move to the Prem.
Remains to be seen how Liverpool fares in its emergency rebuild of the midfield, so would hold off on judgement there.
Chelsea, as always, has a ton of ins and outs in terms of squad and in the coaching staff. On paper, they SHOULD be a shoo-in for top 4, but remains to be seen if all the parts work well together.
I thought Newcastle would make a bigger splash in the transfer window, but they are a bit tied with FFP. Also seems like the Saudis are more interested in getting their own league built with stars than they are with their investment in the Prem.
