As for Chelsea and Liverpool that you said that they are to contend for the third position, which is laughable for me, you really need to be open minded with other teams. if Arteta was that strategic, he would have at least been able to win the league for the second time attempt, though I'm not writing him off but I'm giving room for other teams too.
People are actually over exaggerating this whole Arsenal situation, people believe they Will be head and shoulders above everyone next season except Manchester City which I don’t think I totally agree with. Arsenal is currently the best after Manchester city but next season they might face stiff competition from opposition not like it will be a two horse race. The likes of Manchester United will like to mount a title charge too next season and I believe with the right signings Erik Ten Hag and it’s boys can do it
I think this is the right season for Ten Hag to prove himself because his main contenders will be Man City and Arsenal because the other top team change their coach while Spurs has been too inconsistent to be among the list, my reason for this is from the fact that Liverpool just got a new coach and I won't really put him in high standard here especially how they ended last season while Chelsea nothing to say about them now and the players they're going for is something I don't want to speak about.
Aston Villa is still one team I think may get to top 4 though it boils down to the quality of players they add which I think they are working on now
