Yes, this year is very interesting. These top three teams are all busy in the UCL and Europa League. They have a similar fixture schedule, so they look fair. Those who are able to perform consistently are able to make the most of every player and playing time will be great for the tough competition this season. The coach's intelligence is the key to the club's performance. But the remaining matches that all three teams have in the EPL are certainly very influential, the team with the remaining matches against heavy teams certainly has a bigger challenge.
The teams that'll be knocked out of the champion league will have the advantage because they'll be having less busy schedules and will be giving their players more resting time. The players will also get motivated more to win something since they're out of the champions league and all their focus will be on the league title. It's too early to say who's going to win the title because both Arsenal and Manchester city are playing very well. In the champions league game, they both played well and were able to get a draw. Their opponents aren't a small club that we should be expecting them to win their opponents. Liverpool also have a chance at winning the premier league title and they're not playing champions league football. The departure of their manager by the end of the season might also give them some motivation therefore Liverpool shouldn't be neglected.
