When Manchester City is in the top 4 at the moment, we actually consider thier it to be in a slump because indeed we usually see them at the top of the standings all this time 
, so that they are underestimated able return to the top of the standings later, even though actually with the remaining season still very long of course, everything can happen without us expecting it
Top four for now and in future, if possible, Manchester City will try to join the title race again. Now, it's a little bit far target and they have to aim at the second position, taking it over from Chelsea and Arsenal first. Liverpool are far for now, and Manchester City only can chase Liverpool if they have very good performances in coming months and Liverpool suddenly have terrible form., so that they are underestimated able return to the top of the standings later, even though actually with the remaining season still very long of course, everything can happen without us expecting itIt looks like there will be some exciting competition this season. I thought Liverpool would get an easy way out, but after they were held to a draw by Newcastle, it made me think that Liverpool is not an untouchable team. The 7 point gap is indeed quite wide but, if Liverpool again fails to get full points then Chelsea and Arsenal will have the opportunity to get more closer. Meanwhile, I'm still a little doubtful about Man City, even though they just got a long-awaited win but that is not yet proof that they will truly rise.
