https://talkimg.com/images/2024/04/02/VkR0J.jpegTo determine who will be the EPL champion this season, there are still 9 matches that must be completed by the three champion candidates, namely Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City and I think we are all still confused about which three teams will lift the trophy later. Maybe it could be Liverpool, Arsenal or Manchester City who will defend their title again and with the busy number of other competitions they are having this season it will certainly make things even more exciting.
Apart from all that, if we look at the match schedules of these three teams, in my opinion only Manchester City has enough advantages against teams that should not be an obstacle for them to win the EPL title again. But it will also be in vain if Liverpool can sweep all the remaining matches to win. For Arsenal, I think they are just waiting for Liverpool to experience a deadlock to take that opportunity.
I see Liverpool have 3 toughest opponents in the remaining 9 matches, namely Man United, Tottenham and Aston Villa. Three teams have the potential to hinder Jurgen Klopp squad from collecting full points, although other teams also have the opportunity to stop Liverpool progress in winning the Premier League trophy this season.
For Arsenal, Arteta squad is really facing the toughest test to realize its ambitions, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Tottenham and Man United are the 4 teams that have the potential to make Arsenal lose points. Their ambition to overtake Liverpool is quite difficult, the pressure they are under is even more difficult.
Meanwhile for Man City, their journey to defend the trophy and win it again is somewhat easier than Arsenal and Liverpool. Man City only has 2 competitors who have the potential to trouble them. I think Aston Villa and Tottenham are tough opponents to beat, but we can't underestimate other teams like Wolves who were once lucky to beat Man City in the first half of the season.
Very much agree with you, I've seen this table before and needless say that you are right, Arsenal seems to be the team whom much is given, and much is expected from, but all the same, I personally think that with Arsenal playing with its full squad, they are sure equal to the task, all it can take is for them to put in more efforts into winning every of their games, and when I say more efforts, I mean well condinated efforts that gives no room to or for mistakes, Arsenal have played a very good game this season, and if one thing, I will like them to lift the trophy, as a worthy prize for their hard work and never giving up spirit, I wish them well over all, fingers always crossed for them.
And speaking of Liverpool, Liverpool is actually the major issue Arsenal will have, for even if Arsenal manages to win all of its games, Liverpool is another great club with highly spirited team, that may play not to lose any game as well, for that will give Arsenal the opportunity to take their current position in the league table, so, if Arsenal must win this season's title, they also have to hope they Liverpool lose points in one or two of their games, else, they may still end up in the second place if they too do not lose any game; giving Manchester city the opportunity to step into the second place.
