Each August, football's prophets emerge to map the season ahead — and this year, Phil McNulty of the BBC finds the terrain unusually uncertain, with nine new managers reshaping the familiar contours of the Premier League. Yet amid the upheaval, one conviction holds firm: Arsenal, fresh from ending a 22-year title drought, possess the depth, confidence, and new additions to defend what they have only just reclaimed. The rest of the table is a study in transition — clubs shedding old identities, new voices in dugouts, and promoted sides daring to believe the odds might bend in their favor.
