With the English Premier League season<\/a><\/strong> about to kick off, let\u2019s look at three London clubs and their prospects for the new season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ARSENAL<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Key Business<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s been a quiet summer so far, making David Raya\u2019s loan from Brentford into a permanent deal and spending big on Bologna defender Riccardo Calafiori. There have been very few links to reinforcements in the attacking areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the business has been about getting fringe players out of the door. Emile Smith Rowe has generated a large transfer fee, and the likes of Aaron Ramsdale, Eddie Nketiah, Reiss Nelson, and Kieran Tierney could be next to depart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Squad Strengths And Weaknesses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arsenal looked to have a steady, settled XI having only really signed Riccardo Calafiori to be a starter. He could play at left-back, which has been a problem position for the Gunners over the last 12 months. The midfield may need reinforcement, which explains Mikel Merino’s chase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In attack, some may question whether Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus will bring enough goals to the table. There also isn\u2019t a natural backup for Martin Odegaard with Fabio Vieira yet to truly impress. If someone like Odegaard or Declan Rice were to get injured, you would worry about the engine room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watch out for the Gunners\u2019 set plays. They are incredibly strong in that department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predicted Best XI<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(4-3-3 formation): Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Odegaard, Partey, Rice; Saka, Havertz, Martinelli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predicted Finish<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

FIRST. This may finally be the year where they finish above Man City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CHELSEA<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Key Business<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blues have signed 10 players this summer and probably still have further additions to come. They will need to offload around a dozen players to balance the books and trim their 40+ player roster to something more manageable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pedro Neto is the best signing and Marc Guiu has looked promising up front after joining from Barcelona. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was acquired from Leicester but it\u2019s not clear where he is going to play. Some key men from last season like Conor Gallagher, Axel Disasi and Trevoh Chalobah are all set to be sold once their asking prices are met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Squad Strengths And Weaknesses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite all the signings, the Blues may lack a ruthless striker. Nicolas Jackson is hugely promising, but his finishing can be a weak point. In goal, Filip Jorgensen has been signed but that remains a problem position with Robert Sanchez set to don the gloves initially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In midfield, there are lots of options but getting the best out of Enzo Fernandez remains a worry. The reliance on Cole Palmer for match-winning moments is not expected to end any time soon. However, if the Blues can keep Reece James, Christopher Nkunku and Pedro Neto fit, they have some very good options to call upon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
Bet Now: Premier League<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predicted Best XI<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(4-3-3 formation, inverted fullbacks): Sanchez; James, Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Enzo, Nkunku; Palmer, Jackson, Neto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predicted Finish<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

FIFTH. Enzo Maresca style of play will take a while to implement. Things could get worse before they get better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TOTTENHAM<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Key Business<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spurs have gone and signed a striker to finally replace Harry Kane. That man is Dominic Solanke, who netted 19 goals in the league last term for Bournemouth. He looks a perfect fit for the system under Ange Postecoglou. Two impressive young midfielders have been acquired in the shape of Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot of deadwoods have been shifted off the books including Emerson Royal, Eric Dier, Joe Rodon,\u00a0Tanguy Ndombele, and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Squad Strengths And Weaknesses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tottenham have a fine squad right now but an injury to either Destiny Udogie or Pedro Porro could leave them in real trouble. At the heart of the defence is a fast, aggressive pairing but the cover for any injuries is questionable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further forward, many supporters feel a new right winger is needed despite the big money spent on Brennan Johnson just a year ago. Postecoglou will need to sort out Tottenham\u2019s awful defending from set-pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predicted Best XI<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(4-2-3-1 formation): Vicario; Porro, Romero, van de Ven, Udogie; Sarr, Bentancur; Kulusevski, Maddison, Son; Solanke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predicted Finish<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

FOURTH. Spurs look better equipped to reach a Champions League spot than either Man Utd or Chelsea. With Solanke leading the line, a top-four finish is within reach.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
