If we should mention a team that started this season in the Premier League, the team is Tottenham Hotspur. They started the season very well; they were even topping the standings at the start of the season, but they later slacked. They couldn’t handle the pressure from other big teams. However, the positions now go back to Arsenal.
Arsenal was also topping the standings for some weeks. Arsenal was doing very great in those periods, but Arsenal also disappointed people because this is the same thing they did last season; they topped the seasons and left it for Manchester City. The same thing has happened to them this season again; they have already won the spot to Liverpool. However, I think Liverpool will be the favourite this season; they may be the champions this season if they continue to dominate their matches.
Speaking of Tottenham Yes, you are correct that Spur was leading the league at the beginning of the season, but I won't use that against them for falling to the number five place. The reason for their falling back is that many of their players were injured during their matches against Chelsea, and majority of them haven't returned to the squad as of yet. As a result, the pressure of the league is too great for the players who are still remain to face they are even better than Arsenal.
Arsenal, on the other hand, seems to be having trouble staying at the top of the league despite having strong players and no injuries to any of their strong squad. They can challenge any big club in the Premier League, but still fail to remain at the top. It was disappointing for Arteta Club to drop from first to fourth place in the league, and I believe they should make some changes in their upcoming games.
Tottenham cannot go back to the position they left again; in fact, they cannot even get a second position in the standings again. We have other clubs that are very good and more competitive than them. Manchester City are still playing well. Tottenham are in the 5th position. I don’t think other clubs that are ahead of him will allow them to take their position, and even if they later get another point and move up, it will be Arsenal, which is in the 4th position. Manchester City will not give them their position the same thing as Austin Villa.
Actually, Tottenham Spurs and Arsenal have already lost their chances to top the league, the teams ahead of them especially Liverpool and Manchester city won't be giving up in any of their remaining games. I think they'll be strong until the end of the season, which i believe one of this club will win the league title, and Aston Villa won't want to lose either.
