1/3 of all games played and it seems Arsenal, Man. City and Liverpool are very close not only on where they are at the table, but also regarding performances throughout the 13 games.

Do you think this will be a tight race all the way to May?

If not which team do you expect to fall out of the title race and why?

(fair to say Villa and Spurs are also up there but IMO both lack squad depth and cannot see them as title challengers come May)

    For any team to challenge they need to go 38 games playing the best football of their lives because as we know Pep’s teams rarely slip up and are relentless.

    And then they still beat you by 1 point even after having an insane season.

      That’s the reality, I bet it felt great when you finally beat them to it but it needs to happen more often, they are too dominant it’s become like the Bundesliga in that respect even if some teams do get closer more often, they still just won’t budge 😭

        That’s the worst part, it felt unreal since it happened during Covid.
        Liverpool’s run over those years was:
        17/18 - struggle for 4th again

        18/19 - Finish in 2nd place on 97 points with only a single loss the entire season which came from a ball not traveling 11 millimeters further and oh yeah the team that single loss was to got 1 single more point than you to win the league

        19/20 - Be insanely dominant playing wonderful football, get 26 wins out of your first 27 games, only to have Covid shut down the whole fucking planet, have the league go on hiatus only to come back rusty and lose 2 more games and get 3 draws but still win the league for the first time in 20 years but oh it’s in front of zero supporters and they’re not allowed to celebrate with the team.

        20/21 - Covid hangover, have a difficult season where you get mocked for the “worst title defense ever” (not true)

        21/22 - OH LET’S JUST FUCKING REPEAT THE 18/19 SEASON OK?!

        Yeah…it all feels weird.
