The Premier League is back this weekend and once again the brightest spotlight is attached to the so-called "Big Six."
Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham - this is the law that SVT Sports expert Daniel Nannskog reasons about.
Arsenal Are Arsenal and Nicolas Pepe a “perfect match”?
It is. Arsenal really needed to get into a toxic exterior and here you get a windy one with fine dribbling technique and nose for goals. I think we will see some goals where Pepe comes in from the right and finds the far corner with his nice left foot. Lovely recruitment!
What does Arsenal lack to challenge seriously?
You obviously lack a really good center back. Here you have to get something in before the deadline in order to reach a Champions League place at least.
Is a Chelsea without Hazard synonymous with a worse Chelsea?
Clearly, Chelsea is considerably weakened without Hazard. Although it will lead to others having to step up more, Hazard is such a powerful threat every time he gets the ball. He will clearly be missing.
Is Frank Lampard the right man as a coach?
Extremely difficult to say. I looked a little at his Derby last season and they played a really fun football. The good thing is that he already knows the club inside and out. It is extremely important that he bring the players with him directly, which can be difficult as he was just a player himself and does not have any great coaching experience. I still have to say that it is an exciting and cool choice, but the feeling is that it can end just the same.
Can Virgil van Dijk win the Ballon d'Or this year?
I think he has a great chance of taking it home. The year has been absolutely magical for van Dijk and only City got in the way of the usual Dutch.
Do you keep Jürgen Klopp as the world's best coach?
I keep Klopp and Pep Guardiola as the world's two best coaches. If I have to choose who is a little ahead, it will be Pep. I love and look forward to the fight between them for many years to come.
Is it finally time for City to go all the way in the Champions League?
After all, it really feels like City is getting better and better in CL. You went sour against Tottenham where you were actually the better team over two matches. It should tickle to put more gun on CL this year after winning the league two years in a row, although I know they put the Premier League first. I am not surprised if City is a final team in CL this spring.
What can you say about Rodri, who has been recruited dearly and with high expectations?
In Rodri, City gets an incredibly strong ball winner on the central midfield. Maybe it is a player type that you have been missing a bit. With that acquisition, the feeling is that City has all the ingredients in its team.
What does Harry Maguire's transition mean for Victor Nilsson Lindelöf?
Of course, this intensifies the competition considerably. You do not buy the world's most expensive defender and put him on the bench. I think Lindelöf will take up the fight with Chris Smalling about the place next to Maguire.
Is United in need of a winner like Zlatan in the team?
There is no winner like Zlatan, yes. I have a hard time seeing the real leader in United. There is no Roy Keane left in the club.
Is Heung-Min Son one of the world's most underrated players?
A wonderful teacher! Surely the technical and fast South Korea is a little underestimated.
How does Tottenham manage to keep cogs like Kane, Eriksen and Pochettino again?
Now we do not know if Eriksen will stop or not, but it is clear that if you, like Tottenham, belong to the absolute top tier in the league and also play CL-final, players and coaches do not need to escape the field directly. You are already in a top organization.
