Pay attention to newcomers who can play a pivotal role
Daniel Ceballos
Arsenal
Rented from Real Madrid, Daniel Ceballos can become the crucial player for Arsenal in midfield. The 23-year-old young man has great potential and is needed by Unai Emery, Arsenal coach. He needs someone who can play the game from the central zone. Ceballos has no speed and aggression, but the Spaniard is technical. He can beat rivals one on one. In this regard, Daniel is more like another ex-player of "Arsenal," Jack Wilshere. You should not expect lots of goals and passes from the Spaniard, but the game of Arsenal with him can become more balanced.
Joelinton Cassio
Newcastle United
The 23-year-old Brazilian has potential, but how big it is? In both Rapid and Hoffenheim, Joelinton proved himself to be a diligent striker. He wins many balls in the battle, holds the defenders in play, and plays along well with partners. The problem is that he is not very effective. The level of his skills is not so high. He is good enough for a Newcastle-level team but is not likely to provide goals for the team on its own. They still need either front-line reinforcement or a more prolific partner for Joelinton, or a new midfielder who could play along with the Brazilian.
Sébastien Haller
West Ham United
Any center forward of a German club moving to England is now immediately to be compared with Roberto Firmino. Haller is no exception. He must not only help but also score. He does not take on too much, does not shoot from a distance, but has perfect shots from the penalty area. Also, the 25-year-old Haller's type is somewhere between Marko Arnautović and Andy Carroll. The Frenchman, like Carroll, is good at playing on the second floor, as well as playing along with partners. At the same time, Haller is quite prolific like Arnautović.
Manchester City spent almost a brilliant season in the domestic arena, winning the championship and FA Cup, and remains the leading contender for victory in the new tournament. However, the question remains about what is essential for them: European awards or recognition in their homeland. Of course, the club will not give priority to Europe at least until the spring, but if the issue becomes acute, the European triumph will still be more welcome than the next home title.

But Liverpool set absolutely opposite priorities. And such motivation can play a decisive role in the outcome of the whole game.
Much-fancied team
Possible outcome of the EPL
If you regularly read football news, then it's not a secret for you that some time ago analysts collected data on the Premier League clubs, used new algorithms and computers, and as a result gave the "scenario" of the season, a detailed list of forecasts. Now footballers and fans mock and do not believe, but last year the "supercomputer" correctly guessed the first six places!

Check out the top ten:

Should you believe it or not depends on you, and only on you as these forecasts were produced by a computer and did not guarantee 100% victory of a particular team.
