If Manchester City is able to beat Arsenal then City will lead the standings because Liverpool will not compete in Week 29.
This season the competition will be very tight and the three competing teams should not make mistakes that will harm and actually benefit their competitors.
Yes, Arsenal and Liverpool have the same points, of course this makes the competition even fiercer, but Arsenal is superior in terms of scores which makes them lead at the top of the standings. Of course we won't know from the results of the matches of the top 3 teams at the moment whether they will consistently win or not and of course we will watch how the match goes but I don't think there is anything to be afraid of Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City because these 3 teams are indeed the strongest. At the moment and if you look at it in terms of points earned, of course the 3 teams are safe, like the points gap between Manchester City and Aston Villa certainly has quite a large point difference, so I think the top 3 teams at the will continue to compete closely until the end of the season. But if the top 3 teams currently lose continuously, maybe we will see another team rising to replace their position.
Yes, in the 29th week of Arsenal's match against Chelsea, Arteta will have to be careful because Chelsea's strength cannot be underestimated, but I am sure that Arteta's troops will be able to beat Chelsea and it seems that if Arsenal wants to win a trophy this season, of course they have to win the match against Chelsea. Yes, I also have the same opinion that Manchester City will be able to beat Brighton.
Yes, if the top 3 teams currently make mistakes, I think it will cause tremendous regret and have the potential to fail to achieve their dream of becoming champions in the English League.
