Arsenal.
Premier League season begins on Friday when Leicester City visit Old Trafford; 379 games and a mass of blood, sweat and tears later, everything will be decided. Champions crowned as a nation of football supporters swings between ‘awww’ and raucous laughter at the tears of failure.

So, who will win the league? 280 characters follows on each team, followed by the predicted table at the bottom of the page.

Arsenal

A new coach and philosophy is Arsenal’s best hope of improving on last year’s dismal effort. Aubameyang with 10 goals in 13 games is the prolific goalscorer needed but defence is still the weak point. If Unai Emery resolves that problem, definitely a candidate for the top four.

If they were a pop band: New Order – once creative and inspiring, now just plodding along to the same derivative tune

Manchester City

The team to beat. Signed Mahrez to improve creativity. Without Kompany have a soft centre. Only problem is you have to get the ball to puncture it. Lack depth in defensive midfield but always score bucketloads so does it matter? May focus more on CL – will that distract them?

If they were a pop band: Anyone managed by Simon Cowell – money chucked at them, churning out the hits but nobody likes them.



Unai Emery faces a dilemma or two ahead of the visit of Manchester City on Sunday.

The temptation to field all four of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Mesut Ozil will be strong, though the fact that the Gunners’ opposition are the free-scoring champions of last season may force a rethink.

Ozil could feature as the most advanced of the three central midfielders in Emery’s 4-3-3, essentially playing in the hole behind Lacazette both with and without the ball to exact a high press.

Emery may, however, decide to shore up that central midfield trio, as he did last weekend when bringing on Matteo Guendouzi alongside Granit Xhaka and Lucas Torreira in the 2-0 win over Lazio.

The Gunners had looked shaky with only Xhaka and Torreira as protection for the back four and Guendouzi, who has played more minutes than any of Arsenal’s midfielders this summer, is an alternative option in the centre of the park.
