EPL Top 6 predictions

The EPL season is approaching very soon and so far the transfer window has been relatively quiet. Here is how I see top 6 shaping up this season:

1) Man City - The champions. Will be interesting to see how Kovacic replaces captain Gundogan. Mahrez also gave offered them good depth, so that will leave a gap. Gvardiol is a top signing and will surely improve their defence.

2) Arsenal - Lost Xhaka but replaced with EPL experienced Rice and Havertz. Timber is a good signing who offers flexibility as can play in number of positions. Still a striker short but if we keep key players fit for most of the season it will be a close title race

3) Chelsea - Major rebuild for Poch but he has the ability. Nkunku is a great signing but Jackson is still raw. If they can bring in a top striker then top 3 is very possible

4) Liverpool - Disappointing season last time but will bounce back this time. Need to replace the midfielders lost/about to lose. Expect Klopp to turn things around. Mac Allister and Szoboszlai are good signings and will create more chances/goals. A lot will depend on VVD regaining his old form.

5) Man Utd- Still lacking a top class striker. Rashford carried them last season and if he is injured then severe lack of goals. Onana is a good signing but will miss a month in January due to AFCON. Can Mount fulfil his early promise at Chelsea?.

6) Villa - Top class manager and are improving their squad. All their big players are staying put and will give everyone a tough game.
