    If you look at the “zones of control” last season compared to this, Arsenal do have more defensive control and are closer to City’s level of control compared to last year

    So expect more 1-0’s instead of 3-1’s. This brand of Football is “more likely” to win it but City are still City and haven’t had KDB either. They will walk the league by 10+ points

      Don’t think they are walking this year with +10 points. They finished the league last with what 5 points between us and them.

      All the teams are stronger now so games will be harder + they’ve already lost twice this season reckon as long as us and Liverpool put pressure it would be a exciting finish

        The 5pt gap wasnt really indicative of their margin in the end. They did have the luxury to completely sacrifice 1 or 2 PL games to better prepare their CL final. They drew to Brighton and lost to Brentford when they didnt need points anymore.

        I do feel like there is a chance that it’s going to be more tight this year, partly because ManCity might be less good, partly because Liverpool and Arsenal look stronger than last year. But I really dont know if it’s going to be enough to beat ManCity to the title.
