Liverpool started their season with a bang – and I expect that the drama will be a second Premier League title in a row.
Bournemouth gave them a really good way on Anfield on Friday evening and exposed some potential weaknesses, but the men of Arne Slot ultimately showed their quality.
It feels like it will be a great season, with a few good clubs who want to challenge at the top of the table.
But I still can't pass the Reds for the first place. They recruited this summer so well and in case we forgot him, Mo Salah reminded us of his class with a goal.
Richard Hughes, who played for me in Portsmouth, has done incredible work.
He got a little stick early after a quiet summer last year and all the noise on contracts for Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
But he is an encyclopedia of football – ask him for every player, play everywhere and he will know all about it.
He is a real plus for Liverpool and seems to have found a gem in Hugo Ekitike – if they get Alexander Isak at the top, everyone must worry.
I don't like how Isak has handled the situation, but this is the way it is now.
He will know exactly what is being offered in Anfield in terms of a contract and will have been known for some time.
If he stays in Newcastle, things will get normal again fairly quickly.
His teammates will not give monkeys about how he recently behaved, they all know that they can be in that boat next year that insist on a big move.
The fans all have the bump with them, and rightly so, but the moment he returns and scores a goal, 50,000 geordies will sing his name.
That is just the name of the game, he has no problems anyway, but the title rivals of Liverpool will have a problem if he makes the switch to Anfield.
The most dangerous rival will again be Arsenal. They have certainly become stronger since they finished second, again, the last time -out and finally have the striker we all said they needed.
The side of Mikel Arteta fell a bit away last season, but they will come back.
Nobody should call Arteta's head if the Gunners don't get it again, he did a smash work there and just beaten by a number of very good teams.
And although I went for Slot's side, I don't say that Arsenal can't do it, they can and watch what they need to kick.
Chelsea goes home today against Crystal Palace and are interesting to watch. They can certainly get close to the title, but I can't see them going completely.
The blues have drawn a number of good players, they have a strong, powerful team, but there may be too many options for Enzo Maresca and that can cause problems.
I can't call their best team, even their best center halves. That is not the case with Arsenal and Liverpool, the teams can sometimes call themselves.
You need a happy dressing room and I don't care who they are, if players don't play, they are not happy.
With so many players there will sometimes be no big names near the team, and that can cause major problems – it will not be easy to manage.
I am also worried that they still miss a little leadership-what they would give to have a John Terry type in the team.
A real captain and leader on the field. Where are they in this Chelsea team?
There are not many, but they have the right title candidates in players such as Kop Skipper van Dijk.
We have to mention Manchester City and Pep Guardiola – you can never write them off, but there are questions.
They will miss Kevin De Bruyne and Kyle Walker, Rodri is still not completely fit and there are always worries about whether John Stones can be available – he is a fantastic player.
Outside the title candidates, I think Tottenham is a dark horse after a terrible season last time.
They looked good against Paris Saint-Germain in general and have a strong team if they can stay fit.
