For this Premier League season, you can already consider Liverpool as the champion and you can consider Arsenal as the second position, but there will be a competition between several teams in the Premier League for the third and fourth positions in the points table.
Liverpool have no contender for the title, they are favourite to win it but must win much game to achieve it. This is premier league 10points is not clear of the second place team is not still enough to win the title, you can lose three matches and draw one then the second place team can over take the first spot. But the second place team is not a serious ream and we can't reply on them to give Liverpool such a tough competition because they are not consistent too.
Arsenal might lose out from the second place if they keep performing poor in the 7 games ahead. Like I said earlier Nottingham forest will make up the top touch Chelsea will not still play in the champions league next season. Is Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City and Nottingham forest as the top four team at the end of the season.
