Man United need to get rid of the Glazers or else their fall from the elite top table will get worse , Spurs have not really progressed from the peak of last season nor have they strengthened their squad enough IMO , Arsenal well until they get a decent defence and resolute midfield they will remain among the also rans and finally Chelsea are in transition.
Man City and Liverpool are a fair way ahead at the moment l would say.

I haven’t checked back but I will wager the last time any of Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs, Arsenal, Everton or Man United where not in the top division was in 1974 when United went down, over 45 years ago.
