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.
I quite agree with you the gaps between them are just small, it going to be difficult for someone to decide so so club will lift the trophy, for instance Manchester City that is on the top of the table are leading the second with just a point while third place and fourth place had the same point which are just left behind with two points between them and second place and right now the top four on the table are all in form which am expecting one of them to be champion.
I feel that there will be a slight gap and not much big amount of gap between the teams. There is 1-2 points gap on average between all the top teams and I think even by January beginning this will hardly change. I think by March or February it will start to get clear slowly. All the teams have been fantastic so far and only some injuries can drag some teams back from the race. Most likely that after international break things we might be able to see some table changes.
The top of the EPL standings this season will become clear as the season progresses. Man City, Tottenham, Liverpool and Arsenal are the four strongest teams in the title race. These four teams benefited from the inconsistency of two other elite clubs, Chelsea and Man United. However, it is possible that The Red Devils and The Blues will become stumbling blocks for the leaders in the upcoming matches.
If Chelsea are able to surprise again in Week 12 against Man City by beating them, or holding them to a draw, it will make Tottenham return to the top of the standings, because Ange squad has a slightly weak opponent namely Wolves. I think there won't be too big of a difference in points this season in the top four standings, especially if these teams will be shopping for players in the transfer market next january.
On the other hand I think Chelsea and Man United will have difficulty finishing in the top four of the standings this season, the most realistic target is to appear in the Europa League next season.
