Leeds should be easily to defeated by Manchester United in match 8, as the Red Devils performance in the EPL is getting better, Manchester United already have what they needed in head of sir Ten Hag. You're right Brighton will be difficulty when match versus Liverpool, as the hosts have a lot of time at least 12 days is more than enough to recover, after match v Chelsea. So the chance of getting rid of Brighton is greater for Manchester United in the standings later.
In fact, Manchester City is the favorite of the league. Their team players are very fast. Their style of play is quick counter. They have a lot of good players in their team who have the ability to score at any moment. But the rest of the teams are very strong and they have the ability like Manchester United they have the ability to play well. There is also Chelsea, they also play a very quick game. But comparatively I want to put Manchester City ahead.
. Also no doubt this big club, they have a young talented players are there. The most important thing is Erling Halaand, in EPL 6 matches with 10 goals scoring and 1 assist, in UCL he scored 2 goals in only 1 match. Manchester City has the potential to win another title, no doubt ! If Erling Haaland can do his performance consistently and does not face any major injuries, then Manchester City is the most favorite team on both Premier League and Champions League platforms. Manchester City has a strong defense and midfield. Young talented player Erling Haaland is in charge of the forward.
The city is now reliant on Erling Haaland to score goals. And so if Erling Haaland is able to continue his good performance then Manchester City will be able to show good performance consistently. If Erling Haaland doesn't play well, it will affect Manchester City's overall performance.
