Arsenal (the fiesta is mouldy) thread.

I won't touch the Hazard claim because that's probably close to the mark although there'd be a few contenders. But calling Kante the best CM is a stretch I reckon. Not least because its such a broad position, and the amount of different qualities someone can possess to be good there combined with how dependent on what else is around the player. He has some good qualities no doubt, and in what he does he is among the best in the league. But he also has a lot of things he does not excel in or is plain average.

As for title race, City looked invincible two months in to last season before it came crumbling down. However if they keep it together they will be very hard to stop. I can see them dropping points to big teams that are happy to cede possession but they should mop up the bottom 3/4 of the table.

United look pretty good, improved first team from last season and more depth. Still hints of some draws that might creep in again I reckon.

I think Chelsea's last season was a one off, they could be there or thereabouts but having the run they did and using only 13 players or so for however many months; won't happen again.

Could be Spurs season perhaps. Liverpool look good in attack again but probably will drop too many easy points.

Shaping up to be a good season anyway and I think the quality of teams at the top end of the table is improving again, perhaps in the next 2 - 3 years we will see English teams going deeper in Europe once more.
