Ever since having watched them in Pre-Season it was rather obvious to me that they are at the top of their game. The question remains whether they'll manage to maintain this good form during the course of the Season.
I said so a while back and I'm still of the same opinion; Arsenal will be our main contender this Season. Not Chelsea nor United.
The fact they've sold Adebayor and Toure seems to have done them a world of good really and in Van Persie, Eduardo, Vela, Cesc, Arshavin, Bendtner, Nasri and Theo Walcott they are as strong as anyone when it comes to attack.
A world class DM an they'd be very dangerous.

Almunia is a shite keeper and Gallas has looked very shaky for the last 18 months.
I think they might be too soft at the back to be considered contenders.
They will also still have the same problem they always have of trying to compete in a physical battle with Bolton, Stoke et al. They never had the stomach for a fight before, I don't see what has changed in that regard.
