Arsenal head into the start of the new championship as the reigning champions and the main contenders for the title. In their final match before the start of the season, the London side comfortably thrashed Manchester City 3:0 to win the FA Community Shield. At the moment, Mikel Arteta's team is in excellent physical condition and is building a dominant style of football through high pressing.
Coventry City made a triumphant return to the Premier League, winning the Championship last season by an 11-point margin. In their final two friendlies before the start of the campaign, the Sky Blues secured impressive victories over Monaco (2:0) and Espanyol (3:1). The team currently stands out for excellent discipline when transitioning from defense to attack, but the difference in class will be a serious test for the newcomers.

Arsenal's impressive form, backed by a 3:0 thrashing of Manchester City just before the start of the season, sets a high standard for defending their title. Despite Coventry City's excellent cohesion in their summer friendlies, it will be extremely difficult for the newcomers to withstand the favorite's sustained positional pressure at their home ground. The London side's clear advantage in class and systematic pressing determine their superiority, so an Arsenal victory looks like the logical choice.
