There is little chance for Chelsea or Aston Villa to win the title because Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool are the biggest favorite teams until the tight competition from these three teams that have a big chance to win the title. With Chelsea in the top four, I think it is quite a good achievement because with their own performance improvement that can make them in a ranking that is at least quite profitable. Liverpool is the team that leads the standings and of course this is quite difficult for Arsenal and Man City to win the title, they have new rivals in fighting for the title because indeed with the previous season where Liverpool was quite far behind but now they are performing well to become the team that conceded the fewest goals. There is a chance for Liverpool to win the league title as long as they can maintain their performance well in terms of defense and attack.
I don’t think Aston Villa or Chelsea can win the Premier League this season though Chelsea might be looking like they are resurrected and scoring goals, Enzo Maresca still have so much to prove before I can believe that Chelsea is back to their glory days.
Aston Villa are a good team but certainly not good enough to compete against Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal. This season, all three clubs look like title contenders. The season is still young, we will find out as the season progress which teams will be able to stand the tough fixtures and fatigue when it begins to set in.
Aston Villa under Unay Emery has good progress because they can performing stable in Champion League and Premier League and you can see it based on their position on League standing because they can reach to top 5 in Premier league and in champion league Aston Villa performance is more impressive because they can gets 2 wins at the beginning of League phase and if talking about champion candidates of Premier league i think it's too early for them and Unay Emery as a manager also said the title is not the main target of Aston Villa because he has realize it is very hard to compete with big teams just like Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool
For Chelsea actually i was underestimate this team because this summer they have weird behaviour regarding player transfer and i doubt Enzo Maresca will be able to improved Chelsea performance because at the beginning of season Chelsea condition is messed up but clearly i was wrong about that because Chelsea gradually can find their shape again and Chelsea also is very productive with scores 16 goals total in Premier league and before this season begin the owner of Chelsea has set high target for this team that they want Chelsea to compete for Champion league zone and as long as they can able to managed their consistency i think Chelsea will finish at top 4
