Over the last four years Manchester City have proven that they can win games against the defending team and during those four years they have also managed to lift three EPL trophies, so it makes me very confident that this season Macesster City will lift the EPL trophy again and during this time if Judging from the quality of the game Manchester City is better and consistent than the Chelsea team.
It is clear because from the existing data, Macesster City is at its peak with a decent difference in points, although not so much because what is below it now is Liverpool and then Chelsea, where both of their points are very close, but for Macesster City's points, it is a bit far to pursue unless they can lose in successive matches and that is very less likely for the current Macesster City.
