I thought Liverpool would be the nearest challengers to Chelsea this season, but after the start they’ve made I’m not to sure. All that seemed to be missing was goals last season and given the fact they’ve added 2 strikers and a winger you’d have thought that would be it!

I still think over the season Uniteds lack of firepower may cost them dearly when Injuries and suspensions start to kick in.

Aresenal are miles off the pace and Chelsea are just Chelsea.

Same here. I thought Bellamy, with his pace, would be the final piece in Liverpools jig-saw.

They have started poorly, but they started poorly last season too, so you never know.

However defeat to Chelsea on Sunday is not an option.

It's very early days - 5 wins on the trot and it's a totally different picture. As for our lack of firepower, we've just got Scholes and Rooney back after 3 game bans, Giggs and Park are now out for a while but we're doing ok on the goal front

See your point but to take out the goals of old Horseface and not replace them might just come back to haunt you!

Possibly but we look far more dangerous and quick without him so far (fingers crossed) although if Saha gets injured (highly likely given his past) we may begin to struggle

Real football doesn't get 68 goals in one match.
