However, former Premier League striker Deeney believes Arteta is still blessed with the league’s deepest squad and believes Arsenal should be considered favourites to win the title again this season. ‘They should win the Premier League,’ he told talkSPORT. ‘They have still got the best squad; they haven’t lost anybody as of yet, other than Trossard, but then they’ve replaced him with a younger version of him from Club Brugge as well. So I think Arsenal should still be the favourites, but I actually think there’s more pressure on them now than last year. ‘I think they’re outright favourites now; everyone’s expecting them to win it.

This should mean there’s more expectation now on the style of play and on dominating lesser teams. ‘But I think they win it and it’s everybody else to try and catch them.’ It has been a busy off-season for virtually all of Arsenal’s potential title rivals, with a slew of managerial changes ahead of the new season.

Deeney's predicted top-four for this season Arsenal Manchester City Liverpool Chelsea ‘Now, having to look at the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cups, Carabao Cups, you can’t go out as early as you have done in previous years. ‘There’s an expectation now to do more. Bruno Fernandes, do you really think he’s going to have the season he had last season again this season? ‘I just think that with the squad currently constructed as is, I don’t think there’s enough depth to get through all of those competitions, which I think will ultimately leave them short.’ And with United potentially falling out of the top four, Deeney thinks that Chelsea could capitalise.
