Let's wait and see. Their early fixtures are brutal, so I wouldn't draw too many conclusions on where they will finish until after Christmas at least. But to say they haven't improved relative to some of those above them is naive.

The defence (certainly including the keeper) is better than Arsenal's and Liverpool's, even more so when Coleman recovers from his long-term injury. Midfield: Sanchez (if he stays and can be bothered) is of course a class apart but otherwise there's little to choose. Gueye is a proper defensive midfielder which Wenger has not had since Giberto. Attack is the one area where they may be a little short of genuine quality.
