This season is between City and Chelsea. Liverpool is the best 2nd team. They will finish 3rd this season
This is an interesting take so early in the season and especially when there is only 2 points between the top five, and not that many games have taken place between the big 6 (I'm including Utd in that bracket at least, as they won't be shit all year, and may well influence the upper league placements indirectly).
I think City are in a league of their own, no one can touch them if they have another 100 point season, no way Klopps Pool or Sarri's Chelsea are that consistent. But, if they drop their standards, I agree, teams like Chelsea, Pool and even Spurs are probably capable of pulling off 80-85 point seasons, which could be enough for a title
If any gets 100 points they'll win the league. And City are the only team capable of that. So I'd agree with this completely. Chelsea, Pool and Spurs are 'capable' of 80-85 points. Perhaps even Arsenal are too (LOL).
Chelsea have really surprised me and they have no CL distraction. They've been impressive.
Liverpool also look a cut above too. Right now at least and have made a great start. But there's still a last minute brain fart in them and they also have a proper group this time in the early CL. Plus Salah may be a one-season wonder. Once they experience their first defeat, I can see a slide. I guess it depends whether that first defeat comes early enough to slow them down.
Spurs have had their joint best ever start to a PL this year (hard to believe given they've lost 2 matches) and ended up with 86 last time that happened. Plus we're going out of the CL it seems (thanks to fuckwit levels of concentration vs Inter). Think it depends whether the new stadium galvanises us or has a negative effect to start with.
City would still have to be favourites, as their ceiling is so much higher than everyone else's.
