I think so too. Both Liverpool and Man City will be the tightest competitors in the EPL with a very small point gap. So we can see that if one of them slips even once, it will really benefit the other. Man City experienced a decline in performance when several of its main players were injured for a long time, especially de Bruyne. But now, Man City has returned to normal. With the hope that the contribution of all Man City key players, including de Bruyne in particular, can really bring Man City back to being as strong as before. So, the competition between Man City and Liverpool will really be exciting.

On the other hand, Arsenal seems to be starting to move away from the competition due to some of their performance which has declined quite a bit since the middle of the season. Arteta has several times not been able to get his team to achieve the victory they should have, and instead experienced failures that were actually unnecessary. In this case, Arteta must work even harder to rebuild Arsenal and compete with Man City and Liverpool for the EPL title. Oh yes, regarding Aston Villa, this was really unexpected because they also turned out to be progressing very well. However, when compared to Man City and Liverpool, it looks like Aston Villa still has to try harder. At least, them being in the top 3 or getting into the UCL is something that is definitely very valuable.

Manchester City and Liverpool are the only serious competitors we’ve got for the EPL right now and funny enough these are the 2 consistent teams we’ve got over the past 4 years in the English league. Now any slip from any of both teams will be a big boost on the other and each team will want to try to make sure all her players are sound and injury free so as to always be battle ready.

The race will be interesting and fun to watch especially for football lovers around as this could probably be one last keenly contested title race between these 2 teams in a while. Arsenal with her injury problems aren’t seen as title contenders anymore but rather as top 4 competitors and they should be careful how they go on because they could move off that spot if they’re not being careful. Aston Villa aren’t a match for Liverpool and City but could probably be giving in a fight to get a UCL spot and this is one team Arsenal should be wary off because currently I don’t see Arsenal being better off than Aston Villa.
