Looks like Man. City are going to be the team to beat again this season, their easy 0-2 win over Chelsea even without de Bryne, Silva or Stirling in the side. Aguera getting the two goals and almost getting a hat-trick.Can't really see them not being League Champions again.

I agree with that! Liverpool may be the only other club with a claim. Those clubs just have so many attackers/midfielders that are clinical in front of goal.

Yes, I would think L/pool will be their biggest threat, but they were suspect at the back last season, not sure if Klopp has done anything to rectify this.

Brasilian No. 1 goalkeeper Allison and centre-back Van Dijk. Both world record signings. Then defensive midfielder Fabinho, signed from Monaco.

Liverpool also strengthened a) their midfield, they added more creativity: Keita (attacking midfielder and great player) and b) attack: Shaqiri who is going to blossom under Klopp. Both can score goals.

And it's the first time in the Premier League era that Liverpool have so strong bench.

Midfield: Keita, Fabinho, Henderson, Milner, Lallana, Wijnaldum

Attack: Salah, Firmino, Mane, Sturridge, Shaqiri, Solanke

Liverpool have better front three, Manchester City have better midfielders in De Bruyne, David and Bernardo Silva.

Manchester City are better passers (brain), Liverpool play with more passion and aggressivity (heart).

Both are beautiful to watch. I'd like to see them in the Champions League final.
