Chelsea and Aston Villa may be in good form and improving their standings positions, but it feels as if they are not ready to compete for the title. Reason being, consistency is still the main problem for these two teams, and without stability, how can they compete with the other big teams?
On the other hand, Arsenal, Manchester City, and Liverpool are some teams that continue to prove to us that they deserve the title. With solid squads, experienced coaches, and most of all, a winning mentality. Always competing at the top. It’s very tight between the three of them since the difference in points is very minimal. Now even rising to the top Liverpool, with Arsenal and City always looming; this season is very difficult who will emerge as champions.
Chelsea drew their last match. Aston Villa, on the other hand, have drawn their last two matches. And that's why these two teams are lagging behind. Personally I think these two teams will not be able to compete for the title. But even then, if Chelsea and Aston Villa can strengthen their defense, then maybe these two teams can compete for the title. But it is less likely.
I consider Liverpool as the favorite to win the title so far. Because Liverpool's defense is very strong this season. Liverpool conceded only 2 goals in 7 matches. Even a strong team like Manchester City conceded 8 goals in 7 matches.
