Arsenal are favourites to be crowned Premier League champions this season. That was the view of Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah when asked about the Gunners’ title chances at the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) awards event on Tuesday night.

The opening weekend of Premier League action delivered plenty of good news for the title contenders, while European action takes center stage midweek as a handful of teams inch closer to booking their spots in the UEFA Champions League.

Arsenal has kept at bay Manchester United’s expensively assembled forward line and scored again from a set piece to win 1-0 in the marquee match in the opening round of the Premier League.
