After three days of intense action, we can all agree that the Premier League is well and truly back.

The wait is over; the atmosphere is torrid, and Manchester United fans still think it is their year. Ladies and gentlemen, the Premier League is back, and this opening weekend was even better than imagined. 

After Chelsea’s win yesterday, fans have begun to cast aspersions on the future of their favorite clubs, but I think the future is too far; let’s focus on now. 

Here are some of the biggest lessons from the opening weekend of the Premier League.

Arsenal Are The Best Team in The Premier League

Yes, they played Coventry, and it is early days, but Arsenal looked very different from the remaining Premier League teams this weekend. They played with an air of confidence, dogwalked their opponents, and started the campaign in the manner that champions do.

The team didn’t move like they were under pressure, and Tzolis has made an early case to be the signing of the summer. It may be early days, but it is a sign of things to come.

Top Premier League Teams Will Be Shocked

The results from the opening weekend have shown that the Premier League is as competitive as ever. Hull City shocked Manchester United, Liverpool were held to a 2-2 draw by Newcastle, and Manchester City had to pull off a comeback against Bournemouth.

It was a shocking weekend, and the top six Premier League teams know that it isn’t business as usual. If they don’t wake up in time, they will get dunked on by teams below their strength.

Chelsea Will Be Dark Horses

If there’s anything we can take from Chelsea’s opening game, it is that the team will not be pushovers this season. The team is stacked with talent, and their attack is a force to be reckoned with.

If they can play at their full potential and get their defence together, Chelsea could genuinely contend for the Premier League title.
