“Mikel Arteta has made a great start at Arsenal. He’s got a clear philosophy. That club needed changing and he hasn’t just gone about it slowly.
“He’s made a lot of progress in a very short space of time. Signing Thomas Partey for the midfield will only add to that.”
“Chelsea have made some big signings and it will be good to see how they get on once Frank Lampard has worked out what his best XI is.”
“I think he’s still working that out after all the changes they’ve made. Leicester will be battling for the top six again.”
