If we’re going by the idea that having a settled starting XI gives a side the upper hand, and I’m only talking about the big clubs here, then surely Arsenal ought to be considered a strong favourite this season, no?
Changes to the strongest XI:
- Liverpool: Around 4 changes expected, left-back, right-back, striker, and attacking midfielder.
- Arsenal: Just 2 changes, defensive midfielder and striker.
- Manchester City: Roughly 3–4 changes, goalkeeper, left-back, central midfielder, and attacking midfielder.
- Chelsea: 2 changes, left winger and striker.
Chelsea could also be a problem, but just like City, I think the WCC will take it's toll.
