1/3 of all games played and it seems Arsenal, Man. City and Liverpool are very close not only on where they are at the table, but also regarding performances throughout the 13 games.
Do you think this will be a tight race all the way to May?
If not which team do you expect to fall out of the title race and why?
(fair to say Villa and Spurs are also up there but IMO both lack squad depth and cannot see them as title challengers come May)

Winning the premier league is a matter of depth in this day and age. Does your team have squad enough to last the entire 38 games plus cup competitions? City’s depth is the superior of the 3 at present so they are likely winners. Arsenal probably have better depth than Liverpool, but still not close to City’s.
Point reductions could play a huge factor
The title race is between City and Liverpool. The rest are battling for top 5.
Tottenham are more likely to win it than Farsenal.
I think the quality of the majority of teams has improved this year for sure. We’ve got the big 6 who are all getting the required points so far (maybe not Chelsea but I do think they’ll get better). Then Brighton, Newcastle and Villa to throw in the mix too.
I also think West Hams start has gone a bit under the radar as well.
The bad teams are BAD this season (Burnley, Luton and sheffield) but the teams above them seem to have improved massively.
Also shoutout to Gary O’Neil at Wolves, I think he’s doing a superb job at Wolves.
City aren’t winning shit with Doku. Biggest downgrade ever.
Downgrade from who? He rotates with Grealish who played that position heavily last season. Foden has been covering KDB’s position while he’s been out on injury so he wouldn’t play that position anyways.
He’s got 2 goals and 5 assists having played in 10 matches (not even a full 90’ in all 10 either). That seems pretty solid to me.
This is how it’s supposed to be. Tight race till the end.
However, I don’t think we will have to wait till May.
As we learnt from Arsenal last season, things could change in April.
I think if Arsenal maintain this defensive solidity. It’s finally going to be their year.
My percentage prediction is:
Man City - 50%
Arsenal -25%
Liverpool - 20%
Other - 5%
It depends on injuries. Everything has to go right for Arsenal or Liverpool, whereas City can cope with an injury to just about anyone besides Rodri, so they’re best equipped for the marathon that the season is. KDB is still to come back, Salah and Partey (currently injured) will be going to AFCON, Tomiyasu and Endo will be going to Asia Cup. All signs point to City winning their 4th in a row but it’ll be close. Arsenal took points off City, Liverpool drew with them away, if both can make sure they aren’t just tripping each other up but also presenting a challenge to City then we could have a new champion.
