So often the top of the Premier League positions are over within the first half dozen games, so I thought I'd put it to you guys how it looks before the seventh game takes place...
The most difficult game for Man City in the next six is against Man Utd
For Man Utd...we know Man City is one of them but if you accept Leicester as a good team, and I do, then that's one more difficult game then Man City have to play
For Arsenal...they have to face Liverpool, Chelsea and Leicester
For Chelsea...its Arsenal and Liverpool
For Liverpool...Arsenal, Tottenham and Leicester
For Tottenham....Liverpool
For Leicester....Arsenal, Liverpool and Man Utd
So with this simplistic view of the difficulty facing last seasons "best" Premier teams during the first six games Man City should be top with Tottenham a close second and Man Utd joint third with Chelsea.
Liverpool have a tough start having to play their first few games away from home due to the redevelopment of the Main Stand. Could be playing catch up by the middle of September.

Always something gets overlooked when you do this stuff...
For Liverpool it should read......Arsenal, Tottenham, Leicester and Chelsea......your right on the away disadvantage out of the first six games only TWO are at home

True Sol. I think we'll feel the benefits later on though. We should come out the traps fast as we'll be as fit as anyone at the start. Our issue would be feeling leggy in the 2nd half of the season so no Europe should help there.
