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)
The year we won the league we literally had Adrian in goal for 3 months….
Also some teams is hampered more by Afcon than others (Salah for you guys, Onana for United etc (not implying United will be challenging for the title)).
Again we’ve survived that before in seasons where we’ve lost the title by a point, during Afcon at our best we’ve won every game with people like origi and minamino while losing Mane and salah. Now we’ve got Jota, Nunez, Gakpo and Diaz holding down the fort while only losing salah.
Yeah, I am not saying it’s over, just that with a tight season it is kind of unlucky to both lose your GK and best player over the hectic Xmas period.
