It is understandable that Aston Villa is not really taken into account, because many assume that they will lose their balance sooner or later, when in reality Unai Emery squad is now in second place in the standings ahead of defending champions Manchester City. Liverpool must always be alert, because they have the potential to be overtaken by Aston Villa because they only have a difference of 3 points.

I think Aston Villa presence in second place is currently a threat to Manchester City and Arsenal, which is natural because Pep and Arteta want their respective clubs to stick with Liverpool at the top of the standings without being straddled by Emery squad. Apart from all that, I see that Aston Villa has similarities with Leicester City, which once won the EPL.

Arsenal have been able to garner 40 points in their first 20 league games of the season and are just five points behind league leaders Liverpool who also have played the same number of games with Arsenal. A lot of people are of the opinion that the gunners are still very much in contention for the league title and that opinion I think is very much valid as there are more 17 league games to play.

That being said, I think it'll be a very difficult task for Arsenal to make that comeback and return at the top of the league table. The league leaders Liverpool are currently in the form of their lives and would do anything possible to remain their while reigning English Premier League champions Manchester City are also doing their best to fight back to the top and considering the fact that these two teams are better than Arsenal, it'll be very difficult for Arsenal to overtake them and move to the top of the league.

Arsenal might be having a bad form at the moment but I feel like this season somehow feels like they have a better chance than last season. Somehow I can't blame this Arsenal squads for their recent results. Its nature of football, you can win and lose. These two things are moving together.

But Arsenal need to put more effort from their front lines to get a way of scoring so that we get what they want. It took many years for Manchester City to get Title of champion with their unique squads but being working hard can make you achieve what you want. They just need to keep grinding out good results till the end of the season.

Newcastle can certainly hope to return to its best performance this season, but in my opinion ending the season in the European zone will never be easy. Newcastle are not performing well this season and in my opinion, Newcastle will not qualify for Europe next season if they don't build their squad in this transfer market.

Newcastle's performance is indeed very different compared to last season. But this is not because they failed to maintain their performance, but rather the improving performance of other teams should also be considered as a reason why Newcastle is unable to compete at the top of the standings. Being in 9th position with 29 points collected in 20 matches is not an impressive statistic from Newcastle this season. Newcastle have suffered 9 defeats so far and the bad thing is that 4 of those 9 defeats occurred in their last 5 matches. The bad trend is still ongoing and Newcastle is still very difficult to get maximum points at the moment. SO the match against Manchester City will likely make Newcastle worse off.

Ok but frankly speaking, Newcastle United would have been well advised if they invested a decent amount of money into new good players. I am not against their approach as I think it is refreshing to see a club that doesn't go nuts and invest billions and is making ill-considered decisions all the time because money doesn't matter, but I think they were too low key during the transfer periods. They do have the money and they should have done something to improve the quality of their squad. Times have changed for them and in the Champions League things are different.

It cannot be denied that Arsenal played badly in the last four matches without getting full points, Arteta even said this after Arsenal played the match against Fulham. Arteta said we were careless with the ball and that wasn't good enough, we didn't even deserve to win. at least, Arteta is aware of the conditions and problems within his squad. last season was yesterday, this season is what they're aiming for. it doesn't matter even if Arsenal are a few points behind, after all there are still many games left to compete for trophies this season. most importantly, Arteta knows what he has to do and what he needs. the opportunity is still there, the problem is now with the Gunners and Arteta as Arsenal's architect. also, I still have faith that the young Gunners squad will get back on track. the point is, The Gunner must win every match again, especially overthrowing City and Liverpool. thus, the competition for the trophy is getting closer to them.

As for Aston Villa, it was unexpected that Unai Emery would be able to bring his squad to 2nd place in the standings. but it is only a matter of time for City and Arsenal to take over or become top of the standings again.
for me, the one with the most potential is City. since De Bruyne suffered an injury, Pep has always tried to do a lot of experiments. now is the time for Pep to bring City back to the way it was last season. they just need to be consistent and overthrow their opposing teams, especially teams that are above their ranking. City has a chance for that, and this will be a problem for Liverpool to maintain its ranking so that it is not taken over by another team. the point is, the Premier League still has a lot of matches left. and every team, especially those competing in the top four, will try to do their job well. and it seems that this season the Premier League will be even more exciting and interesting.

I feel like it's basically obvious that Arsenal is gone, they are not going to win the title. Don't get me wrong, they are still quite close to the top, and it could still happen, but I really do not think that they will overturn anything. They have lost two very crucial games that they needed to make six points, if they did, they would be 46 points, leader of the league, and also just one point ahead of Liverpool but four points ahead of third Aston Villa, so that would put some distance.

Also, not a lot of people talk about this, but Aston Villa, a team nobody saw coming all year long, is second with just three points difference from the leader. If Liverpool loses one game and Aston Villa wins, they are tied for leadership. I honestly did not see that coming.

Newcastle is one team I thought they were going to shock the world with the way they play,I thought the only team who should have been capable of winning Newcastle are a team in the English premier league,but the results that I saw shocked me becausethey were the least team in their group.They showed weakness throughout the group stage,but what really amases me was how they were able to beat PSG in the first leg of the tournament,they really showed they were a team that could win any team in the tournament,but all their playing style and ability dwindled with time.Now Newcastle is now a team any team can beat.I hope they survive the competition in the EPL,and try to be in Europa league next season.

I don't really have a good explanation either for Newcastle's decline, but I would not exclude the Champions League from the evaluation of their performance. Dortmund should have been an opponent they can beat. AC Milan I think so, too. They did beat PSG in that amazing game at home, but overall their performance wasn't sufficient to make it to the next round. But I think the Champions League should be taken into account because it's the same there as it is in the Premier League for Newcastle at the moment. They can't consistently perform on their best level. They have some games that are shockingly good and then they have these blackouts like recently against really some of the weaker teams. This season will be disappointing for everyone in Newcastle.

Manchester City have performed quite well in their last few matches. And their performance seems to show that the team is back on track and will do well again. Will continue to fight for the title. But Arsenal's performance has deteriorated. In the last 5 matches, this team managed to win only one match. They have lost their last two matches. And Arsenal dropped from the top of the table to the fourth place in the table very quickly due to losing points in several matches in a row. Despite playing one more match than Manchester City, Arsenal's position in the table is behind Manchester City. Mikel Arteta's Arsenal team is in a bad position at the moment. If the players can't return to form quickly then the Arsenal team will be knocked out of the title fight.

Indeed, the competition is very much this period and Arsenal are facing some difficulties in scoring their opponent and if they do not find a solution to it. It will affect them in the upcoming games they have with Liverpool, Crystal palace and other teams this month. One of their player's named Saka has tried a lot and it's not performing pretty well as a winger their other options on the bench. Nelson should be giving an opportunity to show what he can get. Because it now seems that they are now the weak point of Arsenal and if a team uses that against them, they will win Arsenal. This is why other players with a different pattern should be allowed to play so that they can't predict their next move while playing in any game.

This is an FA Cup match, so perhaps the performances of the two teams will be very different. Crystal Palace has a good chance to win when Everton has performed very poorly in their last 4 matches. Crystal Palace are playing at home and of course they deserve to be considered the superior team, but Everton have ambitions to win too.

The two teams are not much different in terms of performance in the Premier League, but because Everton players' morale is not good, Crystal Palace is slightly superior. The match might be even in the first half, but personally I think Everton is not an easy team to beat.

FA match, right?
I don't know how this Everton game is going to go or maybe it's not that important they just need to get points in the EPL not in the FA. Just my thoughts, but who knows Everton are working hard to win.

Yes every win is important but for the EPL isn't it? In order not to be eliminated?

Odds are almost the same because it can be said that these two teams are equal, but I don't want to take those odds.

Believe it or not, Manchester City will regain first place in the points table, eliminating Liverpool and Aston Villa.
I may be too confident but let's look at the consistency of the top 4 clubs in the Premier League, currently the point difference is very close, while Arsenal has started to lose consistency after experiencing a decline, while Aston Villa doesn't have enough strength to compete with Manchester City even though it looks strong, but I I really doubt Aston Villa and for Liverpool I believe this club deserves to be in first place to get the Premier League title but I still believe that Manchester City will immediately overtake Liverpool after De Bruyne returns and also Haaland returns to the field to compete together and replace the entire club on.
Maybe anyone can ignore what I say but I will strongly believe that my favorite club Manchester city in the short term will return to the top of the premier league.

You can make money on Chelsea by betting on their opponents 

Chelsea surprises me in that it seems that they have had both bad and good parts of the season when it would seem they have made serious progress (compared to where they found themselves at some point), but in the standings they are always consistently somewhere deep down. In fact, they are very close to Newcastle and United, but according to subjective feelings, even the crisis United and Newcastle are much higher than Chelsea lol.

Liverpool are one bit surprise of the season but we can’t call them underrated because they’re a big team. But when you compare them to the likes of Arsenal and Man City at the initial stages of the season they weren’t coming close especially when you check with their last season’s performance. I love their team spirit and their zeal to win the league, which have got them this far.

 Liverpool are sitting on top and their positions isn’t safe yet as any draw or loss will drag them down away from their spot. And this alone brings about healthy challenge and helps the team to improve very well as they’ll now try to keep winning and staying top and it’ll also help in the run for the UEL. FOr the UEL they’ve also got better rivals with the likes of Leverkusen and Milan. Manchester City with an outstanding are on the toes of Liverpool and now the EPL just got more interesting with her title race.

I double checked the Premier League table and was trying to figure out how you were able to arrive at this firm conviction that is is obvious that only Liverpool and Manchester City would be competing for the title and believe or not, I can't find the evidence that would support your findings. Aston Villa, Arsenal, Tottenham. If it is an opinion, I think there is no problem with that, but now that it has become obvious I would like you to elaborate on this (to me) mysterious discovery.

Possibly I missed the news that Aston Villa and Arsenal got penalties and have to accept a point deduction or something, but if that is not the case then I don't know what your findings are based on.

I strongly believe in this current Liverpool squad,it's now becoming obvious it is only Mancity and Liverpool that are strong contenders to the tittle.Liverpool was a team nobody expected to be in the race for the top four,but they are now ahead of Arsenal whom we thought  will really be topping the table with some points gap,but they are behind, currently sitting at 4th position on the table.
With what I've seen so far about their team,I can say they are one of the best teams in England,and if care is not taken,they might be the current champions this season.Lets see Arsenal will be able to meet up the Little point gap,or they will languish at 4th position.

Considering the performance of Chelsea is not advice able betting on them because they are very inconsistent in performance and also in wining so however in times of betting Chelsea match, they have cut so many bet because of there inconsistent, when you will feel that there match will be a very sure win for them at the end they will end up losing the match.

I'm even surprised to see Manchester United a bit better than Chelsea because is always Manchester United that's always in the shoes of Chelsea this season but however just like you said Chelsea is very far from getting better on less may be they will be able to recover on there next season and however there premier League next match against Fulham will actually be a tough one because I doubt if they can be able to wing the match.

Crystal Palace Everton match is about to start. After 4 consecutive defeats Everton need to win at any cost, although Crystal Palace last home match confidently won against Brentford, not the weakest team.
After Everton's points were taken away from them, every win is important for them not to drop out of the EPL.

Bookmakers estimate the chances of the teams about the same odds on Crystal Palace 2.59, and on Everton 2.74.
Usually the matches of such teams are spectacular.
