Arsenal have been tipped to win the league by 25 out of 28 BBC predictors. The team's continuity has been praised, with some pundits noting that they kept their manager and have strengthened rather than rebuilt. The expected ranking is: Arsenal (109 points), Manchester City (73), Liverpool (38), and Chelsea (35). Arsenal's midfield has been strengthened with the signing of Bruno Guimaraes, and their defence was good last season. However, some pundits have expressed concerns that they might miss out on the title unless they sign a top striker. Manchester City, on the other hand, have been predicted to finish second by 12 out of 26 BBC predictors. The team has lost senior players and their new manager has been questioned by some pundits.
