The 13th match, in my opinion, is quite an interesting match to watch for the top clubs, Manchester City vs Liverpool, I think this match will end in a draw because both teams were in pretty good performance at the end of the previous match and the two teams below them Brentford vs Arsenal, if Arsenal can get full points, of course they will move up to first place in the standings with 30 points, Manchester City 29 and Tottenham vs Aston Villa, if Suprs can also get the winning points they will move up to 3rd place in the standings with the same points as City Just a difference in goal difference and Arsenal fell into 4th position.
Manchester city are using good when playing at home and I don’t see them not getting maximum points against Liverpool. They dropped 2 points against Chelsea in their last game and I’m not sure Guardiola would want to drop any more points especially as they’re contesting for the league title this season. Liverpool have also been in an excellent form this season too, Liverpool are just a point behind Manchester city after 12 matches and will go to the Etihad full of confidence after a thumping win over Brentford.
Liverpool can face this Manchester team same way Chelsea approached them and still get a point or more. Regardless of the result in this game, this year top 4 will be very tight. Everybody wants to be in there and it will take some kind of work and commitment to stay afloat. Manchester City are still the best team but they’re somehow vulnerable now. Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs are all good teams capable of pushing Manchester city.
I think these are premature conclusions for now. I think if they do well against Liverpool, they'll be well established in first position overall and won't let anyone else go there for a long time. But in general I agree with you, the 4, I would even say the first 5 teams look very strong at the moment, they even go with a very small gap
