On September 5th, former Premier League striker Sutton updated his personal column, analyzing the standout match of this Premier League gameweek between Arsenal and Chelsea.

Arsenal has no obvious weaknesses.

I admire Carlo Ancelotti's coaching style at Chelsea; possession doesn't concern him, and Chelsea aren't seeking victory through possession-based play.

This is somewhat surprising, because I've seen him lead Leverkusen to win the Bundesliga title before, and they were quite dominant in possession. However, against Fulham, Chelsea's possession was only 38%, and it dropped to 25% against Brighton. I'm not sure if this is intentional, or simply a lack of players capable of controlling the game. Chelsea are still scoring plenty of goals, but they're also conceding many.

Whatever the reason, I don't think this situation will change immediately. Arsenal are strong, and the only question is whether they lack one or two strikers. Still, you can't say they have obvious weaknesses in any area. The beauty of this Arsenal team is that they can play in multiple ways. They beat Manchester City in the Community Shield with attacking football, delivered a brilliant performance against Coventry, and then won a difficult away match against Aston Villa. Ultimately, regardless of whether Arsenal's attack is flowing smoothly, their strong organization will help them beat Chelsea.

Analysis of Manchester City vs. Coventry

One team had a great start to the season, while the other has underperformed. Last week, Manchester City thrashed Crystal Palace, but even more impressive was their comeback against Bournemouth, which was Maresca's first Premier League match in charge of Manchester City.

Manchester City's Community Shield performance was questioned, but they now seem to be showing a different face. Maresca has brought in several new signings in recent days, including Enzo Fernández from his former club Chelsea for £125 million. I've heard some people question whether Fernández was worth such a high transfer fee for Manchester City, but Maresca knows him very well, and I think he's an excellent addition to midfield.

I said before Manchester City played Bournemouth that without Rodri, Manchester City would struggle to win the title, but now with the addition of Fernández and Boadica, as well as Elliott Anderson, Manchester City's midfield has been rebuilt to be more solid and significantly stronger.

I like Haaland's new haircut; it suits him better than the ponytail, making him look tougher and more aggressive. I don't think Coventry can stop him from scoring.

Tottenham Hotspur's disappointing performance

Nottingham Forest are chasing their first win under Glasner, but I believe their defeat to Leeds United and their draw against Liverpool away were down to bad luck.

I'm very disappointed with Tottenham Hotspur under De Zerbi, and not just because of their poor results. Previously, at Brighton, De Zerbi quickly built an excellent team in a short time, and despite making some mistakes along the way, his performance was admirable.

By contrast, we still don't know what Tottenham Hotspur really look like under him, despite significant investment in new signings. I attribute this to De Zerbi; while new players need time to adapt, his team has only produced two uninspiring performances so far.

He attributes this to the players' fitness not being completely up to standard and has criticized the preseason schedule. However, considering they haven't earned points or scored goals yet, their performance should have been better. Other clubs, after bringing in new managers and multiple signings, appear more organized, so this isn't an excuse. That said, Tottenham Hotspur must improve their form quickly, which is why I predict they'll pick up a point in this match.

Everton's season outlook

Everton finally retained young midfielder Harrison Armstrong, but faced chaos trying to sign a striker before the transfer deadline. I know Jarrad Branthwaite has been criticized, and his finishing lacks consistency, but at least they still have him to lead the attack. He's scored some excellent goals, as has Hall, so while Everton are frustrating right now, I don't think it will be a completely bleak season.
