Is Sanchez really going to be deployed as a striker? Man, Arsenal really needs to fire Wenger at this point. The man is clueless.

Henry's height is irrelevant because he rarely used it to his advantage. IMO if you are capable and have enough strength to play with your back to goal and hold the ball up, in most cases it matters very little how tall you are. A prime example of this is Aguero, he and Sanchez are of similar height.
Theo Walcott was a failed project as a striker, but thats because he's terrible at playing with his back to goal, the only thing he offers as a striker is his movement and ability to make well timed runs behind the defense, his general play as a striker is really poor though.
His finishing is still a considerable upgrade over Giroud's, plus he's a much better footballer. I'm sure Wenger will alternate between the two.
Why would we sell Santi, despite him not having the best of seasons last year, he was amazing in his first season; On form he's one of our best players.

then prepare yourself to dislike him even more 
too inconsistent of a finisher for that imo

I don't know if United are going to be a threat for the league. Probbaly fight for 3d. Chlsea should do pretty well since they have Costa becaus imo a lot of their problems came from overexerting their midfielders due to their strikers not scoring enough. If they get early leads they can take it easy and their defense is still solid. Probably better now that Luiz left.
With injury prone D. Costa and as backups Torres and Drogba as strikers?
Don't think they are the favorites.
City are favorites for me again, they haven't changed much, all their best players stayed and they strengthened their defense with Mangala (almost certain) and Sagna, their backup GK with Caballero and their midfield with Fernando.
If Aguero and Kompany can keep fit the entire, they are the favorites for me

Chelsea's squad is very strong, they should probably be favourites, and I'd be surprised if Mourinho can't win the league with this team. It'd be a big failure otherwise.
They look maybe one defender short, but the likes of Ivanovic, Azpilicueta and Ake are very versatile.
City are closest to matching them, but the PL should have 5 strong teams this year on paper, and United have a big advantage with no European football. You will see Mourinho whine and moan like crazy about this all season.
