Manchester City and Arsenal are still the top teams to win the Premier League trophy this season. The competition between the two is still forming a question mark, because we don't know what will happen to them in the second round later. Consistency is still the main thing here, especially now that they may face new problems such as injured players or so on. A margin of 5 points is a very risky distance to change in only 2 matches. And also other teams like Newcastle, Tottenham and others cannot be underestimated.
After the break I don't really know if arsenal can still be consistent due to injuries of some players . But as for Manchester City am very certain they can still continue to be consistent in performance if they return back. Manchester City have been very consistent for a longtime and it is possible they continue to be consistent. Arsenal just began to be playing well this season, I can't tell if the world cup game will affect their players.
