My first thought. Then I realised, Arteta is still building up their match fitness.
Still crazy he brought on Rice at half time, seeing he went further in the competition than Bruno.
I think it depends on how United get on. They did decently under Carrick end of last season but it's gonna be curious to see if they can keep it up. Chelsea are probably gonna do decently, while Liverpool's squad depth still doesn't inspire me.
I think City'll challenge just as much as they've done in past years tbh, though obviously they've had a massive upheaval this year with Bilva and Rodri and Pep gone/going.
Madueke and Havertz start up front alongside Tzolis, MLS and Bruno G back up captain Ødegaard in midfield. Calafiori and White envelop Gabriel and Mosquera with Raya keeping the backline steady.
I was hoping that Dowman would start for the lols but realistically this was always more likely. Though I wonder why Madueke starts and not Saka, given they both played about the same in the WC anyway.
Although, Dowman does make the bench ahead of Martinelli and Nwaneri, probably because Eze can cover both of their roles and Saka is good but a risk in terms of health?

No and I think they won’t be challenging this year either tbh.
I think they’ll be about fourth of fifth.
