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.
Take in Aston Villa and Newcastle too as they have been playing some good football also. Aston Villa had a pretty much consistent run in between and they really have defeat some heavy teams so far. Newcastle also are a strong performer. Brighton under de Zerbi also are another team who can chime in the top positions of the table. I think if someone (out of these teams) manages a decent enough of consistency then they will be able to perform on the top position of the table also.
