All the teams currently in the top 5 rankings look very strong. And they are by far the most consistent of any team. And yes, there is no doubt that they will be the ones fighting for the title this season. But for me, the ones with the best chance of fighting for the title will still be the same as the previous season, namely Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal. Because in the end these 3 teams managed to become the most competitive teams until the end of last season. Man City became champions again last season. but I'm not sure about this season even though Haaland looks to be more productive at the moment. But Chelsea and Aston Villa are also fighting well and it is possible that these two teams will surprise everyone by continuing to get positive results throughout this season.
There is no doubt that Chelsea and Aston Villa, who are fourth and fifth in the points table, are doing well. However, these two teams will not compete for the title. I would say that these two teams do not have the ability to become Premier League champions yet. The overall performance of these two teams is still erratic.
However, Arsenal, City and Liverpool will continue to fight for the title at the end of the season. These three teams have great chances to win the title. And they each have strong squads and experienced coaches. So it is not possible to predict which team will be the Premier League champions this year. Liverpool are top of the table. However, Liverpool is ahead of Arsenal and City by only 1 point.
The strength of Aston Villa and Chelsea is still not comparable to the strength of the current top three teams, namely Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool. And yes, the strongest candidate in the race for the title looks like it will still be the same as the previous season. But it is quite difficult to choose which team among the three teams will become champions this season. We have to look at this season until more than the middle of the season or even have to look at the end of the season like last season. Where we saw that Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City had the same opportunities last season before 2 weeks at the end of last season. Something similar could happen, namely intense competition could occur again until the end of the season. And regarding Chelsea and Aston Villa we cannot underestimate them. because surprises could happen this season. Considering that it has been a long time since there have been any surprising results this season. The last time there was a surprising result in the Premier League was when Leicester City became champions in the 2015-16 season. And that was quite a long time ago.
