During the summer I felt pundits were too quick to dismiss teams like United & Arsenal, overate Spurs and pretend there is a Top 2 in England akin to Barca and Madrid. It’s a pity that Arsenal have the injuries in defense that we currently have (Tierney, Bellerin, Holding) and teams like united and Chelsea simply could not make the signings they had to make in the summer for different reasons because we would have one hell of a title race.
I am not saying United, Arsenal or Chelsea have a chance to win the league but them being strong for at least the first 5 months of the season would make things interesting. I said in the summer this league title will be decided by the fixtures between the Top 6 and I maintain that.
Last season l felt City had it easy against the Top 6 as they won most games in 2nd gear and it proved to be the difference as Liverpool failed to win away from home against the Top 6 except at Spurs.
We all know Spurs simply don’t win enough games against the Top 6, something that has effectively reduced their chances of winning the league season after season.
Another team that will make things interesting is Everton. Not great away but I can’t see most of the Top 6 win at Goodison, the speed and pace of their attackers is too good for the defensive frailties witnessed at Arsenal as a whole, City to an extent, Rose, Trent who will be surely roasted if the likes of Richarlison, Iwobi and Kean are playing.
Unlike most, I don’t rate Leicester’s squad and the odds offered for United yesterday were crazy and allowed me to boost the odds on my accie yesterday and make some easy money with most top teams around Europe winning their games. On their day their first 11 is a tough preposition but to say they will get Top 4 is mischievous.
I feel the 4 teams (United, Arsenal, Spurs, and Chelsea) will put a few dents among the Top 2, and Chelsea is probably the most awkward side to face as they play some really good fast paced football and will get better. United despite being lethargic have some top players and can turn it on at home on their day. Their defense is decent and De Gea is unbeatable on his day.
Would be Interesting to see how much money you can make if you bet against City and Liverpool in games against the Top 6 away from home.

As I said, Arsenal Chelsea Spurs will drop too many points to teams like these, to get any closer to Liverpool and City this season.
Soft as $h1t.

Watford looked like the best team in the world. Sort of reminded me of the 8-2 game as in Arsenal were just letting Watford run through them non-stop 2nd half.
