Manchester City are still one of the best clubs in the season thus far.

If you say Manchester City is still the best, then you have to consider it again because currently Manchester City is in second place and is quite a lot of points behind.

You have to check the words in bold again as there's a huge difference.

Five points behind but with a game in hand doesn't look like "quite a lot". City will be facing Burnley next so that's as good as three points in the bag. It's still not guaranteed of course but you can't really bet against them in that match. KDB playing good while Halaand is also expected to return by end of the month.

Im seeing it from the different perspective. 5 points are a lot when it comes to the competition between the big club. It's caused by the big club can always perform consistently and this makes the situation is hardly to change.
Just like when manchester city was winning EPL last season. Arsenal won since early - mid but city gone up since mid - late. City was winning caused by the consistency of club since middle until the end of season.

It's very hard to predict when the big club will be missing the points. It's caused by the big club is always having the good squad to perform consisently for longterm.
It's hard to guess that when team will able to miss the points. The return of haaland will be another disaster for arsenal and liverpool which are competing at the top for EPL this season.

The combination between haaland x de bruyne make other club scared.
