What do you think of West Ham? I think they could surprise, also Aston Villa will be good but will be dealing with UCL, are they deep enough to handle the extra fixtures?1 and 2 in any order you like:
1. Arsenal
2. Man City
Then...
3. Man Utd (they will look terrible from time to time, but there's enough talent here particularly with the emergence of Mainoo for me to slot them 3rd, albeit far behind the top 2).
4. Newcastle (feels like a repeat from a few years ago, no European football is a good thing. Isak only real challenger to Haaland for top scorer IMO, although Solanke at Spurs is interesting.)
5. Chelsea (by the end of year nobody will want to play them)
6. Spurs (they will be a fun watch as always)
7. Liverpool (no signings, no Klopp, everybody one year older... they'll produce magic with the quality here but I fear this is a team on the downswing).
Who could surprise....
Brighton - Ferguson is a guy who can lead the league in goals once he gets a bit older.
Brentford - we saw how dangerous Toney is in the Euros in limited action. No other mid table club has a guy like him.
Bournemouth - Good coach, just spent a Bournemouth fortune for a striker. Of all the teams here I could see them be that magical "how did they finish top 4" type of team.
Honestly forgot about them but should certainly be top ten I'd guess.What do you think of West Ham? I think they could surprise, also Aston Villa will be good but will be dealing with UCL, are they deep enough to handle the extra fixtures?
Well - no Toney in the squad today so thinking he is probably being shipped. Arsenal? He might be the final piece for them, although Havertz might be fine there anyway.1 and 2 in any order you like:

Brighton - Ferguson is a guy who can lead the league in goals once he gets a bit older. EDIT I see now they seem to be lining up a move for a striker - so Ferguson to Man U?
Brentford - we saw how dangerous Toney is in the Euros in limited action. No other mid table club has a guy like him.

Agreed. Next week probably worse FWIW. You'll have to wait til Sept 1 for Man U - Liverpool and Tottenham - Newcastle, which is a nice Sunday double. Then there's the break so nothing major until Arsenal - Tottenham the 15th.Chelsea vs Man City today at 11:30. So far the matchups have been underwhelming
Toney linked with Saudi currently.Well - no Toney in the squad today so thinking he is probably being shipped. Arsenal? He might be the final piece for them, although Havertz might be fine there anyway.
Wow interesting. Reading about that now. If the numbers are true it probably makes sense for him to take the cash.Toney linked with Saudi currently.
