Everton look like the big deadline day winners. Offloaded Fellaini for silly money, brought in Lukaku on loan to solve their striking problems, brought in a great box to box player in McCarthy, and have Barry to provide some veteran leadership and solid passing from deep.

Meanwhile, Man U papered over their deeper problems and Arsenal, Ozil coup notwithstanding, failed to resolve lack of defensive depth in both midfield and the backline.

Predictions for top four: 1) Chelsea, 2) Citeh, 3) Man U, 4) Spurs.

That’s right Gunners, despite this weekend’s victory, I still think Spurs finish ahead. After all, Spurs lost Capoue for a month. Their back up? Sandro. What kind of backups do you have in midfield, Le Professeur?
