I started watching Arsenal 30 years ago because of Arsene Wenger. The club, as it stands today, was built by him. He brought in talent and gave the club prestige. Apart from him, it was Thierry Henry who caught my attention. We have started this season pretty well, but need some additions to build depth. The injuries to Gabriel Jesus and Jurriën Timber mean that we need to bring in a striker and a defender to bolster the squad.

Top four predictions:
1. Arsenal 2. Manchester City 3. Chelsea 4. Manchester United
Golden Boot prediction:
Erling Haaland looks set to take it away, alongside Mohammed Salah.

I started following Liverpool in the early 2000s. Steven Gerrard was my inspiration. Every Liverpool fan in India is a Stevie G fan, and he is their reason to love the club. This season has started stressfully. Looking at the way things have gone, the club has missed some key players in the transfer window. We need two midfielders and one centre back. Still, I think we are a definite top-four team, provided we sign some additions to the team.
Top four predictions:
1. Newcastle 2. Arsenal 3. Manchester City 4. Manchester United
Golden Boot prediction:
Erling Haaland looks unstoppable, and has started just as he left off. Mohammed Salah might be his only competition.

Pounds paid by Chelsea to Brighton for the transfer of Moisés Caicedo is the most expensive transfer of the league this year
I believe Erik ten Hag has brought a culture that was missing in the team. The new players need some time to adjust to the playing style. Once they are aligned to his vision and clarity, it will be a different team. That will not happen this season. They have a chance to win some silverware, but not the league. The league is a two-horse race between Manchester City and Arsenal. I would give United a chance to finish between third and fourth.
Top four predictions:
1. Manchester City 2. Arsenal 3. Manchester United 4. Newcastle
Golden Boot prediction:
Erling Haaland. The way he has started, it looks unlikely that anyone else has a chance to win it.
For fan news:
The Overlap with Gary Neville is fun, and the humour is always great. For transfer news, it is always Fabrizio Romano on Twitter who gives you the best insights.
City had a bad Community Shield that we lost. The Burnley game looked better. The team has lost some good players in ðlkay GündoÃÂan and Riyad Mahrez, so there are some concerns. I am not too happy with Mateo KovaÃÂiÃÂ, but hopefully we can buy more players before the transfer window closes. Pep Guardiola is a master of the league, so I am not worried about that. Although in the Champions' League, we might need to be careful, especially with Kevin De Bruyne's injury.
Top four predictions:
1. Manchester City 2. Arsenal 3. Liverpool 4. Manchester United
Golden Boot prediction:
The way Erling Haaland has started with two goals; he will feast on the lower teams. I predict a 30-plus goal season for him.
