I wish more teams would strive for leadership. Clubs other than Arsenal and Manchester City should not allow the gap in the standings to widen. After all, this is the Premier league. A league where we don't know who will be the champion at the beginning of each season. Chelsea and Liverpool have lost points this week. But this is not just losing points, they also lose their faith in the season. Fan expectations are dwindling. Arsenal deserves all the praise. Manchester City is in constant pursuit. Apart from these two teams, I would like other teams to participate in the race.
One of the most exciting part of the English Premier League is its unpredictability. Even bottom placed teams has the potential of winning top-class teams. It is really pleasant to see teams like Newcastle United, Brighton and Fulham becoming very competitive this season. But the challenge most of these teams have is inconsistency due to lack of quality players. Their performance tend to decline if their key players are not available due to injuries because they might not have high quality replacements. Liverpool's poor run this season is becoming unbearable because they have the right players and technical staff.
