Chelsea cruise to five straight wins racking up a +10 goal difference play Europa league on Thursday then can't even score against West Ham on Sunday. Arsenal had an easy game at home on Thursday and struggled against a wasteful Everton on Sunday, got away with it thanks to poor lino. I think Europa league will be useful to us this season.

I just think as the season goes on, teams will fall or rise to where they should be. Watford will drop down as will Arsenal I think. Arsenal can't get away with playing so averagely and being so vulnerable at the back all season. I didn't see any of their match against Newcastle, but they undeservedly beat West Ham at home, conceded two and scraped a win against most probably the worst team in the league in Cardiff and were fortunate to win against a wasteful Everton today and helped by scoring what will probably be one of the most obviously offside goals given all season. Credit for getting the points, but all far from convincing performances.

The only team who I think may not fall to where I think they should be is United, based on the fact that they played shit football last season and still managed to finish second.

You’re forgetting the jam runs right through that club. Was there before Wenger and still there now he’s gone.

I still think we’ll finish above them, but I wouldn’t say I’m confident.

Mate they're horrendous looking. I think Watford are going to give them huge problems next weekend, they'll bully that defense big time. It's a really intriguing game now but I'd be lumping on Watford not to get beat, at least.

Honestly Everton should of had at least two goals in the first half, minimum. So wasteful and completely let Arsenal off the hook.

The carry a real goal threat but their midfield and defense is nowhere near good enough.

They'll be 5/6th at best, and if they improve a bit. But honestly wouldn't surprise if they finished outside the top 6.

Especially when we're in it. Could be a real punt at silverware.

'Liverpool can establish a five point gap over the team that ended their 100% start to the season with victory at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. Klopp, who could again be without Virgil van Dijk due to a rib injury, admits the cup defeat will serve as motivation for the Premier League encounter'

They both played quite strong teams in the League Cup too. Thats sometimes the beauty of these foreign managers coming in. They don't understand the rigours of the english football season. They'll learn soon enough. I expect both will start moaning about the christmas fixture list and it will continue on then for the rest of the season.

West Ham lead!

I don't care enough about West Ham to not want them to take points off José and United.
