That's the market they're looking at.I just don't see anybody touching Arsenal at the moment. Last season was so inconsistent from them.I look at their squad and I don't see them having the same depth as Arsenal.

If he doesn't get going this season, you start worrying.But Alexander Isak was so up and down with injury last season, they couldn't really get him on the pitch. I don't know if he's going to need to take a bit more time, so I don't know about his levels this season.

And yes, they have Youri Tielemans in there but I don't see a dominant midfield.Manchester United will have their ups and downs - and I don't expect them to be challengers. Promoted teams don't finish well, you don't normally see them winning four out of the last five.When the reality of the Premier League kicks in, you start playing week-in, week-out and if you're still getting beat, then it takes its toll in the end.Coventry vs Hull in the second week of the season is a cup final, especially for Coventry who have Arsenal and Manchester City away either side of that.
