Title will be contested between Manchester clubs and Chelsea so top 3 is gone.
Spurs and Us will be there abouts and Arsenal will try to crack into 4th.
Im hoping we get into gear and keep up with the top 3.
4th will not be easy this season as Spurs are a tough team to compete with. They have a more balanced team then us and will fight to the end.
If Pepe gets City ticking like the way he has so far then i can see an EPL dominance from City for a few years.
Wouldn't say top 3 is gone just yet as still early on in the season but I just think both Guardiola and Maureen with a year under the their belt at their clubs and with the players they have brought in the summer have raised the bar. I'm not convinced we have raised our own bar high enough to match those two. Big question with Chelsea was always how would Morata get on in place of Costa and he has hit the ground running so keeps them in the mix.
I look at us, and we still seem to be dogged by the same issues we had last season and unless there is a change in that, it is going to hold us back and think challenging for a top 4 for is going to be our ceiling with maybe an FA Cup and a good run in the CL.
