Am a little late to the EPL party but here goes some of my predictions. First, I really see it being Arsenal's year to finally lift the trophy after their long drought. The talent is clearly there and the young guns should be really hungry to finally overcome nemesis Man City. If Arteta's core players can stay clear of injuries and avoid their customary mini-slumps, they look the most apt to end City's dominance. The latter will be competitive as usual but I think upcoming distractions such as addressing cheating allegations in the coming months will prey on their minds and possibly derail their season.
Chelsea, Man Utd and Liverpool have the capacity to follow the above 2 but they are one or two notches below to be considered viable for the title.
For Week 3, I like Man Utd's chances against eternal rivals Liverpool. Besides home advantage, there is a good current spirit flowing though the team and I expect them to show the intensity needed to overcome a vulnerable Liverpool side still finding itself under a new manager. The Red Devils were arguably unlucky to be beat by a strong Brighton team last week and they need full points here to stay apace the top. I expect a big performance from them and a straight win or draw-no-bet should prove fruitful.
Win: Man Utd
