Indeed the English Premier League is very competitive unlike some leagues that are farmers leagues. On several occasions we have seen more than two teams competing for the EPL trophy. If you look at the league table this now you will see the tight spacing between the first 5 clubs. Chelsea and Aston Villa had the chance to close up the gap between 4th position and the top three but drew taking home one point each. It looks like Liverpool and Chelsea are joining the title race this season, this should be very interesting.
All the teams currently in the top 5 rankings look very strong. And they are by far the most consistent of any team. And yes, there is no doubt that they will be the ones fighting for the title this season. But for me, the ones with the best chance of fighting for the title will still be the same as the previous season, namely Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal. Because in the end these 3 teams managed to become the most competitive teams until the end of last season. Man City became champions again last season. but I'm not sure about this season even though Haaland looks to be more productive at the moment. But Chelsea and Aston Villa are also fighting well and it is possible that these two teams will surprise everyone by continuing to get positive results throughout this season.
There is no doubt that Chelsea and Aston Villa, who are fourth and fifth in the points table, are doing well. However, these two teams will not compete for the title. I would say that these two teams do not have the ability to become Premier League champions yet. The overall performance of these two teams is still erratic.
However, Arsenal, City and Liverpool will continue to fight for the title at the end of the season. These three teams have great chances to win the title. And they each have strong squads and experienced coaches. So it is not possible to predict which team will be the Premier League champions this year. Liverpool are top of the table. However, Liverpool is ahead of Arsenal and City by only 1 point.
Chelsea and Aston Villa may be in good form and improving their standings positions, but it feels as if they are not ready to compete for the title. Reason being, consistency is still the main problem for these two teams, and without stability, how can they compete with the other big teams?
On the other hand, Arsenal, Manchester City, and Liverpool are some teams that continue to prove to us that they deserve the title. With solid squads, experienced coaches, and most of all, a winning mentality. Always competing at the top. It’s very tight between the three of them since the difference in points is very minimal. Now even rising to the top Liverpool, with Arsenal and City always looming; this season is very difficult who will emerge as champions.
