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)

    Expect a late run from the Mighty Reds to push for slightly above mid-table. If it seems that I’ve lost heart, as a United fan, you’re not FUCKING WRONG BROTHER! I may have openly wept several times this season already. What’s that? What you saying Yazz? Oh, I DO hope you’re right, washed up 80’s songstress, I do hope you’re right, that, “The Only Way is Up” I really do. I’m sorry, I appear to be waffling, it must be the warm glow of beating an out of form Everton on Sunday, it’s the endorphins, you see, they linger.

    We’ve got Wolves at home on the last day so we’ll lose by 1 point and an insurmountable goal difference. As per

    Unpopular opinion, the Spurs team before the Chelsea game would’ve won the league. No arguing about it, they would’ve

    No. Kevin De Bruyne comes back and City disappear into the distance.

    Liverpool will fall away in February with afcon and Asia cup hampering them. This’ll affect Arsenal too but they don’t have a Mo Salah in their team. Arsenal will continue to push until may because of their fantastic defense and control but City will win again after they get into their Spring gear. City aren’t as dominant as they used to be but it’s tough to see Arsenal winning besides major City injuries and everyone miraculously staying healthy at Arsenal.

    This season is interesting in that the three teams currently challenging for the league have different dynamics.

    You have the defensive rock that is Arsenal but lacking a big of fluidity.

    You have the highest scoring team in Liverpool, but are a bit shaky at the back.

    Then ofc you have the behemoth City.

    It’ll be interesting to see which team makes it to the end.

    AFCON will play a part too, missing Salah will be huge.

    Will arsenal find any fluidity or will they look to their defense to carry them through? Any one of Saliba Gabi or Rice injured and it becomes a different story.

    City no matter where they are, will lose fuck all after Christmas.

    As a Gunner, City win it for me, but I’m here to enjoy and at least right now, it won’t be easy for them.

    Let’s see where we all stand at Xmas. Arguably think arsenal have the best run in but still more likely to drop points than city. Liverpool will be doing well to put distance between them and 4th but its not going to be easy.

    It really is City’s to lose. They are just too relentless and will just grind all season like they typically do. Even when they lose/draw it just feels unlucky as they rarely look like the lesser team in any match regardless of result.
