Ray Parlour makes predictions for Arsenal and Chelsea this season

The two London rivals have enjoyed contrasting pre-seasons in the lead up to the new campaign. The Gunners thashed Chelsea 4-0 in a recent friendly and have won the other three of their pre-season matches as well. The west London side, meanwhile, have won just one out of their three pre-season matches. Arsenal have made three more signings than the Blues this summer as they aim to finish in the Premier League top four for the first time since 2016. Former gooner Ray Parlour believes that this could be the season that Mikel Arteta's side finally get back into the Champions League places. He told TalkSPORT, per : “I would go Manchester City to win it. Then Liverpool, definitely. I think Arsenal have to aim for third. That’s going to be their aim. If they can keep everyone fit, one more player coming in, then they have a decent squad, so I am going to go third for Arsenal and then Spurs will be good (for fourth)." He added: “But I think Chelsea are going to struggle this season. Unless they make some signings, they might make a couple before the window closes and then you might change your mind. However, Spurs have to win a trophy.” Timo Werner failed to create a single clear-cut goalscoring opportunity in the Premier League last season Timo Werner failed to create a single clear-cut goalscoring opportunity in the Premier League last season Paul Merson predicts the result of Newcastle vs Chelsea and other EPL GW 16 fixtures!
