The battle for the Golden Boot looks set to be closer than ever this season, with almost £200 million spent on these three superstars! They’ve all got Harry Kane in their sights, but can they do it? MATCH takes a look at them... Alexandre Lacazette Arsenal Lacazette was a deadly finisher at Lyon, and he’s carried that on at The Emirates by scoring with his first Premier League effort! If The Gunners continue to create chances for him, he’ll keep on burying them – and that could fire Arsenal to a title challenge! Alvaro Morata Chelsea Morata was a super sub at Real Madrid last season with only 14 starts for the La Liga champs, and he proved how dangerous he can be off the bench for Chelsea against Burnley…

It’s a massive clash on Merseyside! Liverpool and Arsenal both face their first clash with a top-six rival on Sunday, and the result could set the tone for the rest of their campaigns! The Gunners only won two of their games versus the big boys last season, while Jurgen Klopp’s tricky Reds were unbeaten against them. If they can repeat that record in 2017-18, they’ll defo be in the top-four mix! LIKELY LINE-UPS ONE TO WATCH… SADIO MANE Sadio’s ridiculous pace and direct running will be key to Liverpool’s top four chances, and Arsenal couldn’t handle him last season! The forward scored in both league games against The Gunners, so they’ll have to keep him quiet on Sunday at Anfield! LOOK OUT FOR… SEAD KOLASINAC Looking out for Kolasinac isn’t…

MIDFIELD This trio would have the perfect blend of Kante’s energy and tackling , the epic passing of Fabregas, and the slick creativity of Ozil! Bakayoko, Ramsey, Oxlade-Chamberlain and a fit-again Cazorla would push hard for a spot! ATTACK It was a close call between Prem new boys Morata and Lacazette, but we reckon the France star’s pace and finishing just give him the edge ! With Hazard and Sanchez alongside him, he’d score bucketloads! DEFENCE Coleman’s injured right now, but when fit we rate him! Keane still has to prove himself at Everton, but he’d be good alongside Liverpool’s best CB Matip. £30 million keeper Pickford gets the nod , and Baines is still the No.1 left-back! DEFENCE These two usually line-up with back threes, but we’ve picked four…

We spent the winter break strengthening our side! Our main target was Hertha Berlin RB Mitchell Weiser, and we landed the young gun for a bargain £18 million. Our scouts found a load of players with expiring contracts too, so we’ve lined up deals for ace Holland hero Daley Blind and top-quality keeper Bernd Leno. Wicked! We’ve been working on promoting young talent, too! Before the transfer window opened, we gave contracts to all our academy players with 60+ OVR, to then give them the chance to go out on loan. We later signed young stars Lewis Baker and Jose Gomes –they’ve got tons of potential and are stars of the future! There’s still time left in the window to get some last-minute deals, and we’re chasing quality talents Vincent…

ON SIGNING FOR THE PREM GIANTS... BERNARDO SAYS: “It feels great. To be honest, I’m now at one of the best teams in the world. To be part of this club and to have this opportunity is great. I’m very happy to be part of Manchester City’s team, and I’m looking forward to trying to do my best to help the team reach their goals.” ON CITY MANAGER PEP GUARDIOLA... BERNARDO SAYS: “He is one of the best, if not the best coach in the world. Of course, when you have the opportunity to be trained by Guardiola, you don’t say no. As we all know, what he did at Barcelona and Bayern Munich was amazing and we also expect him to win titles here. It’s great to be working…

LIGUE 1 If you haven’t seen Neymar play for PSG yet, then you’ll have to tune into this clash on Friday! We can’t wait to see him lighting up the Parc des Princes with his jaw-dropping tricks, sick dribbling and lethal finishing, but opponents Saint-Etienne will be no pushover – they drew this fixture 1-1 last season and finished just outside the Europa League places!
