Arsenal's mistake was selling Vieira, even if he wanted to go, he is probably the best box-to-box midfielder in the world or at least one of, and he's proving difficult to replace. Apart from that, they rely a lot on Henry's goals and assists, they don't really have anyone else as creative or prolific.
Man U - RvN aside there's little goal threat in spite of Ferguson shelling out on Saha, Smith, etc etc. He seems to prefer Smith in midfield and Saha's always injured, and Solksjaer who I consider probably their best predator (if not, must run RvN close) has missed about 2 years. Defensively they're not bad, van der Sar is the keeper they should have got instead of Bosnich good as he was/is, and now van der Sar is getting on so hardly a future planning move.
Chelsea don't score many, but they rarely concede, 1 goal this season. If you don't concede you draw the game even if you don't score, if you score, you win. They don't NEED to score, because they don't concede.
