The new season of the Premier League has indeed many incentives to keep being the domestic competition most watched overall. Among them, there is the continuous growth of Liverpool, the opportunity to see if Manchester City are capable of retaining the title or how it will end for Jose Mourinho as a manager of Manchester United.
But after a disappointing season for Arsenal and Chelsea, it seems that the Londoners are the teams who have to show their improvement in order to not fall behind their top rivals. Precisely, one of them is Tottenham Hotspur, a team once considered far away from the quality level of its capital rivals, and yet have shown more consistency in recent years.
Therefore, it shouldn't be a surprise that Unai Emery is occupying the spot left by Arsène Wenger who had been there for 22 years, in order to redirect the situation of a club who have been many years without a Premier League title.
On the other hand and after a successful period at Napoli, Maurizio Sarri has replaced his Antonio Conte at Chelsea, a manager who won a Premier League and the FA Cup with the Blues and yet he has not left a good memory among the squad due to his strong personality.
Europe is the path to the Champions League
For Arsenal, this will be the second season in a row competing at the Europa League. During the last season, they reached the semifinals and were unable to defeat Atletico Madrid at the Emirates, on a match that was clearly dominated by the Londoners against a team that was playing during 80 minutes with ten players.
Still, the Spaniards somehow managed to score an equalizer that eventually was decisive to prevent Arsenal to play the final. Indeed, that was the last chance for Arséne Wenger to end his years as a manager of the team in an ideal way.
Maybe due to his success in this European competition, Emery has been chosen to lead the new project of the team from North London.
Precisely, he won the Europa League during three seasons in a row with Sevilla, making the Spanish team the most awarded in the tournament history.
West Ham vs Chelsea and Arsenal vs Everton
With five victories at the Premier League, Chelsea will play against one of their rivals from the capital. Despite losing their first four matches in the competition, West Ham won the last match to take confidence for the visit of Sarri's team.
Certainly, the Chelsea players are still assimilating the ideas of the new coach, considering that Kante, arguably the best defensive midfielder of the competition, has been shifted to play on the right side of a line of three in order to leave Jorginho in the center to receive the ball directly from the defenders.
Anyway, Eden Hazard has already scored five goals, and he is as brilliant as he was in the last World Cup, and momentary that is being enough to keep Chelsea in the path of victory. Precisely the same track that is being done by Arsenal in recent weeks, who have won the last three games at the Premier League and will try to beat Everton playing at home with players such as Ozil and Aubameyang that are starting to shine in the season.
