As for Chelsea football club, They picked their from right their conference cup competition they played and won the trophy and down to the club world cup as well, and has maintained a very stable form since then, and coupled with their new signings, and I believe Chelsea are one of the favorite teams this season to lift the premier league trophy.
Arsenal doesn't want to fix their problems each season, but I don't want to start commenting this early as regards to how poor performing a annoying that Arsenal football club really are each season, ending each season in sad note.
Well I will say you're right Chelsea are definitely one of the favorites to win the title if they can maintain their form and if they don't suffer from too much injuries. With the signings they are a strong team and I like the fact that they signed a backup for every position and these players are reliable.
Arsenal improved under Arteta but there is still something missing in the team that's why they haven't won the league yet. What's more annoying is the style the coach adopt, adopting a defensive strategy won't win you titles, the coach is too defensive minded that's why I don't really like the team. I don't still see Arsenal winning the league this season I only see them securing a top 4 position.
we may see a fight between several teams.
Of course I expect a competitive title race this season but so far the strongest teams are just Chelsea and Liverpool. It's just the beginning but a good start usually determine how a team will perform.
