I can say this season is the most competitive season in the premier league,the managers of those big teams knows,unlike last season when Arsenal was leading the table till after January when they were overthrown by Manchester City and won the league from them,this season is different,there are more serious teams who are ready to win the EPL tittle,and are more despirate for it than Arsenal or City.We have Aston Villa and Tothenham who are really fighting it hard to be in the top four this season.Liverpool and Arsenal are ontop,followed by Aston Villa and Manchester City,but the table could still turn after next weekend,and it might be turning like that till the righful owner of the tittle emerges,we haven't known who will win it because almost all the teams in the top four are very serious to win it.
I don't think that Tottenham has a chance to win the Premier League title and I see Aston Villa ahead of them as their record is cleaner. Now it might be looking worse for Tottenham since they won only 1 out of the last 5 games and this may change again, but I still think that over the course of the full 38 games Aston Villa could be ahead of them. But is it enough for the title? I think I agree that this would be a major surprise for everyone and Liverpool has become quite consistent although they had some close games recently. But the results were positive for them.
