It would be interesting to check how often a team that was not expected to win the title, actually won the title in the end when they led the table after 12 games or so. I doubt that many teams won the table. It is a nice moment in time to see some teams "play for the title" in the early or middle phase of the season, but mostly it is the well known favorites who really get going towards the end of the season and win it eventually.
One of the favorite teams to dominate the Premier League title in the last 6 seasons is Manchester City. They are the record holders of 3 consecutive titles since the 2020-2021, 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 seasons, but they also have a good chance of maintaining it until this season.
Of course Manchester City is not alone in challenging for the Premier League title this season. Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham are also on the same path as Manchester City although I fully believe that Manchester City have the best chance of securing it. I found them leading the standings, so normally it would be difficult for another team to knock them out of the top spot.
