Costa when his fit, is a tough player to play against. Really valuable to have but even last season he came back fat from relaxing in the summer. That sort of surprised me because how can you get in that sort of shape, so quickly as a professional who doesn't even have that much time off....not like he was off for 6 months due to a knee injury.
Chelsea has Morata/Batshiayi who both very good, especially Morata. We haven't seen them with Hazard and Bakayoko playing. They'll be a different side with those two and Morata. Their defence is still suspect though. I don't rate Cahill as a world class CB. He's decent, solid but if Chelsea want to win things with their competitors strengthening so rapidly, they won't with him and Luiz about in defence. Too many goals will be leaked imo.
Utd really did impress me vs Real Madrid, they had clear moments where they could've evened the game vs a Real Madrid team who is spanking EVERYONE. This is physically the strongest they've been since the Fergie era. I think they have way more speed and power now than Fergie did towards the end but they still didn't look great vs Swansea for 80 mins. Man Utd will be hard to score against and have been for a long time but their problem was that they didn't score enough. They've got Martial, Rashford, Lukaku now who can score goals for fun. Interesting to hear that they're still wanting Ibra though.
