Lukaku is quicker than I remember him being when he played for Manchester United.

He's a different player now, one of the best in the world. We probably all think "oh, Lukaku has come back", and then, despite the intervening years, despite the nearly £100m fee, we still intuitively expect him to be the same player he was, and are surprised when we see that he's better. We know he's different, but we can't get rid of the intuitive expectation of him being the same. But he is definitely not the same player now. Chelsea last season were a good team, but not quite good enough to challenge for the title. Chelsea plus Lukaku this season could be a different proposition.

for the current year maybe the competition for the first position in the premiere league will be tight again considering now when viewed from the completeness of the squad, chelsea seems to be ready to face the domination of city this season besides that MU also now looks like a team that is quite solid compared to the previous years and Liverpool who are now back with their positive performances and dark horse teams like Leicester, Tottenham and even Leeds are now starting to creep up.
for the premiere season now I think it will be more interesting.
