Will the Premier League really be a two-horse race this season?
After just four matches played, it sure seems that way. Liverpool lead with a perfect record, while champions Manchester City are two points behind. But can it really be that predictable?
These two teams have looked better than the rest - drilled, inventive and ruthless.
However, football has a funny way throwing up problems just when you think you are cruising.
Liverpool let on that there is trouble in paradise when Sadio Mane showed just how upset he was with Mo Salah for not playing him in for a goal.
The two have one of the best partnerships in the game and the question is: will a rift between them hurt Liverpool?
Boss Jurgen Klopp doesn’t think so.
That’s because looking at the stats, it’s plain to see that while Salah does shoot more often than Mane, but the Egyptian also laid on 10 Liverpool goals in the time that Mane made two.
So maybe a sitdown with the two will sort out the Reds’ problems before the league campaign resumes.
City may have bigger worries after losing Aymeric Laporte's injury.
The defender has been rock solid for Pep Guardiola’s team in past season, making sure they didn’t miss skipper Vincent Kompany.
But with Kompany gone and Laporte set for a lengthy layoff, Pep has to rely on error-prone duo John Stones and Nicolas Otamendi.
And after that, he is sure to turn to Kyle Walker before splashing big in January to plug the holes at the back.
So a strikers’ rift and a defensive crisis - that’s the sort of hope Arsenal, Spurs, Manchester United and Chelsea have of staying in the race.
If I can carry on with the predictions, I’d say Spurs and Arsenal look like securing Champions League spots ahead of Frank Lampard’s Chelsea and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s United.
