what happened in the premier league was predictable.

The final round was quite predictable, but not going to lie, I' was a bit surprised by the consistent win streaks of both top teams in the final stages.
Winning streaks of 6 for Arsenal and 9 for Man City were, statistically speaking, quite unlikely to happen in such a strong league. I was expecting them to show some season fatigue, similar to Liverpool, who were hanging in there for a long time, but couldn't withstand the pressure and dropped out of the title race.
Both teams can be proud of their performance, sadly, the winner could be only one.
Since Guardiola came to Premier League, the champion has become predictable, which makes Guardiola a great manager who is able to change the landscape of a competition. The consistent winning streak was rare before Guardiola came to Premier League. All the three teams had a long winning streak this season, it was just Liverpool having a big drop off after the winning streak, while Arsenal could give a good reaction to the loss.
Among the three teams, Liverpool was the one who had an injury crisis, they even had 7 starters unavailable at the same time. They even succeeded to win the League Cup with some academy players on the pitch. Manchester City and Arsenal had few injuries that were not really impactful for them. While De Bruyne and Haaland were injured, they kept winning games. Arsenal didn't even have an impactful injuries, and they have a good squad depth as the replacements.
