Manchester City and Liverpool now have almost comparable strength so these two teams have the potential to compete for the Premier League title until the end of the season.
Arsenal has strength but they often cannot maintain consistency in their play, that's what makes me doubt them a little.
For Aston Villa, I think they are a surprise team and I am quite pessimistic that they will be able to compete at the top of the standings.
Obviously, with their current strength, Mancity and Liverpool are ranked higher than Arsenal and Aston Villa in the race to win the championship. But I believe things will not be that simple, especially this season when there is a strong rise of Aston Villa, not to mention there is still Tottenham, although in terms of squad depth, they cannot be compared with the remaining teams. However, we should remember that the Premier League is a tournament full of surprises.
Can anyone think that last season Mancity could win the championship after Arsenal dominated the top position for a long time? Arsenal still has their strength, this time they are having a crisis in attack when they cannot finish the match because they don't have a real goal scorer, but I believe when they can add one more quality striker like Ivan Toney, things might be brighter for them.
Based on statistical data and looking at the current performance of each team, it is true that Manchester City and Liverpool are the strongest and their performance also seems almost equal at the moment. But that's only for now. Because we don't know what drama will happen in the remainder of this season, which is actually still very long.
Arsenal is currently experiencing a slight decline, and on the one hand, Aston Villa has also surprised all the teams in the EPL because no one thought that Aston Villa could be in the competition and be in the top 4. In fact, Spurs will most likely bounce back after H.Son returns after playing for the South Korean national team in the AFC Asian Cup. Because in the match against Manchester United, I saw that Spurs were still playing well even without their two mainstay players, namely Son and Maddison. So when these two players return to play, Spurs will also definitely try to return to the top 4. Just like at the start of the season where Spurs were leading the standings. And it is not impossible that this could happen again.
