Surely, even the most pessimistic Arsenal fan would struggle to disagree that this has to be the year they finally end their wait for Premier League glory? Mohamed Salah has not been at his best so far this season (Picture: Getty) Liverpool, boosted by their unprecedented summer spending spree, were the overwhelming favourites at the start of the season and that status was cemented after they won their opening five matches, including victory over Arsenal at Anfield.



AFC Bournemouth and Sunderland are flying so far this season (Picture: Getty) Leicester City gave every Premier League team outside of the so-called ‘Big Six’ a reason to believe they can do the unthinkable when they won the Premier League title at odds of 5000-1 nine years ago. It’s early days but Bournemouth and Sunderland could start dreaming if they keep this form up.

You’d have been laughed at for suggesting they could win the title at the start of the season but they have been quietly surging up the table after an impressive run of form. It seems a little farfetched they could go all the way and land the Premier League title – but they have no European fixtures to worry about and have more rest time than their rivals.
