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)
City are notoriously slow starters. After playing into June last season and winning the treble they were always going to have a slow start. The fact they’re so close to the top should scream danger for the wannabes.
They’ve been without the best midfielder on the planet all season, he’s due back in the new year and will be fresh, their new signings haven’t really settled yet, and given they made about £150 million profit in the summer window again, they’re probably going to have a war chest to spend in Jan if they need to.
Anybody who has lived on this planet for the last half a decade would put city as the heavy favourites right now. apart from the centurions season, this is probably the best position city have been in at this point in the season. Unless they get absolutely decimated with more injuries, they’ll stroll it, liverpool and arsenal are miles away from city.
