For the second year in a row, Arsenal suffered a home defeat on the opening day of the Premier League season as the Gunners went down 4-3 to Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool. Fortunately the Gunners managed to turn their form around as Arsenal have not lost since opening day in the League or in any other competition. Arsenal signed Swiss midfielder Granit Xhaka early in the summer from Borussia Mönchengladbach and for a change Arsene Wenger managed to make it a very productive transfer window as he also added forward Lucas Perez from Deportiva La Coruna, centre-back Shkodran Mustafi from Valencia as well as signing young centre-back Rob Holding from Bolton Wanderers where he was their player of the year last season. While Arsenal may not have spent the same amount of money as the Manchester clubs or Liverpool, Arsene Wenger seems to have made the key acquisitions his squad needed. There a few teams who have the best chance of winning and you would have to count Arsenal among them.

At the moment you would have to say that the contenders for the top four are Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City, Man United, Tottenham, Liverpool and outsiders Everton may also have a shot. There are so many predictions as to who will finish in the top 4, if you want to place your bets then head over to read reviews and insights from Best Deal Casinos, the competition is certainly fierce but it does seem that reigning champions Leicester City are looking unlikely to retain the title or even finish in the top four this season. Arsenal look to be suffering from the dreaded injury curse yet again with key men Santi Cazorla out until Christmas and Hector Bellerin also missing for a month as well as long term absentees Per Mertesacker and Danny Welbeck who are due to return some time in the new year.

Arsenal have the longest active streak of any British clubs when it comes to finishing in the top 4 and it would be hard to bet against them finishing in the top 4 this time around of even lifting the title if injuries do not hurt them too badly.
