Liverpool’s thrilling victory over Wolves extended their winning streak to five games at the beginning of the Premier League season, and it also allowed them to overtake Manchester City and Arsenal in the standings.
In the post-Jurgen Klopp era, their early lead is undoubtedly advantageous, as Arne Slot guarantees that his team can contend at the top of the league. Even yet, a lot of people are still sceptical about Liverpool’s ability to contend for the championship after their collapse in the latter months of the previous year, despite encouraging early results.
Nevertheless, Arsenal’s increased calibre and mindset, along with the unavoidable threat posed by Pep Guardiola’s team, may ultimately allow them to overtake the unchallenged Citizens, with Liverpool expected to trail closely behind. Nevertheless, the Premier League BETSiE supercomputer indicates that their prospects of winning the championship have increased following the events of the last weekend.
20th Position Ipswich
28 points: Despite only having drawn their first four games and losing to only Man City and Liverpool, Kieran McKenna’s team is by no means the poorest in the league.
19th position Southampton
29 Points They appear to have serious defensive issues, which will probably lead to their relegation.
18th Position Leicester City
32 Points Considering their lacklustre performance against Arsenal, it may be very close to see if they stay in the league.
17th Position Wolves
39 Points Although Gary O’Neil’s team is full of talent, its defence seems too weak to penetrate.
16th Position Everton
40 Points: They’ve been showing encouraging indications lately, and Branthwaite’s return might put them on a winning streak.
15th Position Crystal Palace
43 Points: Oliver Glasner’s team is good, but there seems to be a problem right now, and they shouldn’t be in the thick of a relegation battle.
14th Position Brentford
44 Points: When they return in the new year, Igor Thiago and Yoane Wissa will put an end to their relegation concerns.
13th Position Nottingham Forest
46 Points: With Nuno Espirito Santo finding a new recipe for his side, they appear a formidable opposition for anyone
12th Position Bournemouth
46 Points: They have vigour in attack and have already shown that Andoni Iraola is a good fit for them, despite their poor start.
11th Position Fulham
49 points: Under Marco Silva, they have improved this season, and Emile Smith-Rowe’s form and Raul Jiminez’s comeback may help them go even farther.
10th Position West Ham United
49 points: They have a talented and good team that might challenge the top six if they can make things work. As things stand now, 10th seems about correct.
9th Position Brighton
52 Points: They could succeed this season because of their abundance of youthful skill and fearless style of play, but the best teams will appreciate the space they provide.
8th Position Newcastle United
60 Points: Although a better league finish shouldn’t result from European football, Alexander Isak’s health will be a concern.
7th Position Manchester United
60 Points: Right now, United appears hopeless and disoriented. Given their current lack of cohesiveness and likelihood of finishing in the middle of the table, seventh place seems generous.
6th Position Aston Villa
61 Points: They may struggle in the league because they have Champions League football to focus on, but they have a stronger team than ever and ought to be in the top four.
5th position Tottenham
66 Points: Spurs may challenge Chelsea for the top four if Dominic Solanke can find his scoring groove, as seen by their victory over United.
4th Position Chelsea
70 points: Enzo Maresca has at last developed a game plan for the youthful and incredibly gifted team. This club has such a high potential that nobody can anticipate where they will end up. Despite their impressive start, many questions remain.
3rd Position Liverpool
77 Points: They are a potent team that is knocking on all the doors and has the potential to launch a real title challenge. Right now, a lot of people expect them to finish third behind the top two, but they could do much better.
2nd Position Arsenal
78 Points: Mikel Arteta’s team appears resilient and has made progress overall, so they should challenge City once more. Perhaps this is their year.
1st Position Manchester City
83 Points: Rodri’s season-ending injury has complicated City’s quest for the championship. They should win another championship if they can replace him and maintain Erling Haaland healthy (they don’t have a backup forward right now). However, this year is undoubtedly the first in a long time that there is uncertainty.
