Chelsea [...] as for the EPL, they are certainly the best. They were good last year and now they are even better.
Chelsea and Manchester United are the strongest candidates this season
I don't think we can discount Man City... particularly if they get Kane, which is still a possibility.
But yes, Man U and especially Chelsea do look good. Lukaku is exactly what Chelsea need.
It will surely be these three plus Liverpool that take up the Champions League places. The only question really is what order they'll finish in.
Manchester City is strong enough without Kane. Don't judge them by the performance of just one match. In the Harry Kane team, they will actually be more stronger. However, Chelsea and Manchester United are the title contenders this season. Both teams seemed very stable. They do well enough. If Manchester City can't improve their performance quickly, they will gradually move away from the title.
