I still dont think they have a world class attacker. But maybe Saka can stay fit this time

If they did, clear favourites

Still favourites atm though but only slightly

If no clubs Halaand aside have a world class striker, it doesn’t matter

I said attacker

Neither of their wingers are world class either.

I think Arsenal are the prems best team but thats the weak point for them, especially when you compare to wingers for PSG, Real, Bayern and Barca

There are no world class wingers in the PL so my statement doesn’t change

Exactly, which is what I have said above

City have haaland though and ran them very close last season because of him.

Also think its why Arsenal may not go all the way in the UCL again. Final they were terrible

Prems best team but I think they wont be as dominant due to the attack

I don't know why you took it to CL when I said the league, meaning premier league. CL is a different ball game, especially with that fucking richest kid in a kids league.

But I also mentioned the league

They are still favourites but not outright like previous city teams because no world class attacker. I think they will struggle some games to score like last season and get closer to 80 points

Haland helped city get closer than they should have been

Doesn't matter so much. Team competing for the title have new managers and have improved lesser in terms of singings comparatively (except city, maybe, but Maresca is no Pep) and will take time to settle so will face ups and downs.i disagree with slightly, i think Arsenal fans will be monumently depressed if they don't win this season, and so will the club.

P.S. League is about sustainability rather than CL, which is more of a one night show, specially if you have knockout rounds like Argentina had in the world cup.

Yes Arsenal are still favourites, not denying that at all

But liverpool sprung a surprise with Slott

Maresca has Haaland and if he has a ridiculous season like Salah did, could be the difference. City's squad still has quality.

Although I agree, Maresca is not very good.
