Graeme Souness has revealed his four contenders for the Premier League title this season after the opening weekend.
It was a thrilling first round of action from the English top flight, with some surprise results thrown up.
It is hard to gauge how each team will get on after just 90 minutes of action, though we certainly got a flavour of what is to come.
Arsenal slid to a 2-0 defeat to Brentford on Friday, leading to immediate question marks over their credentials to challenge for Europe this term.
Manchester United showed they should be right up there with a commanding 5-1 victory over Leeds.
And while discussing the Red Devils' performance, Souness was asked how many title contenders he thinks here could be this season.
"Four," he replied on Sky Sports. "I think you have to include Manchester United in that.
"Looking at them yesterday, they looked threatening, positive, they have momentum and the crowd seems to be with them.
"They have signed good players. For me, the star of the show was Greenwood. For a young boy, I thought he was sensational."

There were also highly convincing wins for Chelsea and Liverpool against Crystal Palace and Norwich respectively.
But Manchester City succumbed to a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham on Sunday, though the Harry Kane transfer saga dominated the clash.
When pressed for the other teams he thinks will be up there, Souness added: "You have got to include Chelsea. Obviously Manchester City and my old team (Liverpool).
"I think it will be nip and tuck. I don't know if it's the amount of hype surrounding the Premier League because we have been off for 18 months.
"I just think, this time around is greater than normal."
It was a bitterly disappointing first outing for Pep Guardiola and City as they fell to Son Heung-min's strike at Spurs.
And former Sky Blues defender Micah Richards admitted that they were well off the pace, especially given how well their fellow title rivals had started.
"They were not good enough especially by their own standards," Richards said on Sky Sports.
"We all know how well they did last season but today they just did not get going.
"Looking at the first 15 minutes it could have been three, four or five nil but the second half was a lot worse.
"There are no excuses today, we were beaten by the better team.
"We mentioned it before, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United all have done so well over the weekend so it’s a very disappointing start."
