All the teams have close points to each other now,we will wait till January to see the team that will be more favourite to lift the EPL trophy this season.
Observe the close points are only for now because more teams will decline in performance. January, some EPL teams will make potential signings of players, for the purpose to boost the performance of their different clubs. Pep Guardiola and Angelos Postecoglou are determined to reach important positions with both teams possessing the necessary tactics to implement in winning league games. Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur are the only competitors teams that are presently viewed in EPL but I'm not certain about this features because few teams will decline and few will bounce back to good track of unbeatable run.
The competition for the top four standings in the EPL is very fierce and always competitive, for now the point gap is one match. I mean when one of the four clubs stumbles it will make them change positions, the points gap has not yet fully formed because four clubs appear consistent. Overall, the biggest factor that plays a role in a team decline in performance is injury, this can never be predicted. If the teams currently competing in the top four can avoid the storm of injuries, I think they can continue to be consistent until January.
The transfer market will always be an opportunity to look for new players and release players who have minimal contribution to the team. I think this approach has been taken from now on. In my opinion, of the four clubs currently in the Champions League zone, one of them will become champions, and at the moment it is not clear yet.
