Does this make Liverpool more in the race than Arsenal? I have lost confidence in both Arsenal and Liverpool to overtake Manchester city. I was thinking a new team will emerge this time, maybe Aston villa to surprise Manchester City.
I have not given up on Aston Villa, they can be the Bayern leverkusen of England this season. Even if they don't do upto Leverkusen, they can do something surprising to everyone this season.
Even if Arsenal and Liverpool do not meet your expectations, there is no way Aston Villa are finishing as league champions this season. The league is still fresh and more than 30 games yet to be played, it’s too early even to ascertain who will and will not finish first. The Manchester City you speak highly of even still gave a lot of tough fixtures ahead and it looks like their players are already getting tired or injured.
