If we are thinking realistically considering the current performances then my ranking would be like:
- Manchester City
- Arsenal
- Liverpool
- Brighton
- Tottenham Hotspur
- Aston Villa
- Chelsea
- Newcastle United
- Manchester United
I would love to put Arsenal ahead of Manchester City but there is still an obvious gap unfortunately. Otherwise I already want Arsenal to win the league title finally. :)
Liverpool look solid but they have a new manager so I need to watch them more. I can trust Arteta more than Arne Slot now.
The reason why I put Chelsea ahead of Newcastle is that I believe they have a bigger potential. I put Manchester United to the last position because they are playing horrible. :(
I have similar thoughts to you, but I think Chelsea can surprise and push for the top of the list because they have a lot of potential. If the chemistry of the team is right, they can do well. I think Arsenal need a good striker to overtake Manchester City. Manchester City can only lose their position if they lose Pep. Brighton are a very good team but Liverpool have a great football culture. Liverpool can beat them or be favorites against them even in their worse season. I have no comment for Manchester United. I think they have to transfer an alien to the team... :)
