Fair opinion, but I disagree.
I think City followed by Chelsea are the strongest squads. I'd say we're in the mix with Arsenal, Tottenham and United.
But also think Chelsea have a better chance of winning it than we do. Their squad depth is better than our own, plus, they've got a manager that brings a bit of unpredictability to the league this season which will be difficult for teams to figure out, especially now that they've settled. Only reason Liverpool dominated them when we played was because Conte was just getting settled. As much as I'd hate to admit, he's doing a fine job and getting the best out of his players. Somehow he's getting David Luiz to overperform. Luiz FFS.
I do hope that they get figured soon, and that players lose their form, but as it stands, they've gotta be favourites.
if players play like crap and then play really good, my instinct is to assume they'll go back to being inconsistent soon enough. I may be wrong in that the bad form was a total blip and this is the 'real' Chelsea.
Sanchez and Ozil are better than any Liverpool, Tottenham or Utd players, possibly Cazorla too. Then they've got Koscielny who I rate as one of the best CB's in the league, Cech as best GK in the league, Mustafi and Xhaka who are very good, the list goes on.
In order of team strength I'd go Arsenal City Chelsea Liverpool United Tottenham.
