The 16th round of the Premier League has all ended, and unlike previous rounds, the ranking of the top teams in the league has not changed significantly this season, but the points ranking of the mid-level teams has been reshuffled, Leicester City has recovered, and after defeating Newcastle, the points ranking has reached the 8th position. In the middle and lower reaches of the team, Newcastle suffered another fiasco after winning the first victory, and Leeds United and Chelsea finally lost on penalties. Now, let's take a look at the current situation in the Premier League table after 16 rounds of matches.
First of all, it is still the top team in the league, and the title zone is still manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea, and all of them have won the game in this round, which also keeps their points ranking stable. However, judging from the situation in this round of matches, the three teams were able to defeat their opponents not through sports goals, but by penalties. After creating a lot of chances, the delay in scoring goals, the recent tight schedule has caused intermittent fatigue in all three teams, and how to solve it depends on the manager's adjustment strategy.
Among the teams in the European zone, Manchester United appeared in the fifth place in the league with a wave of three consecutive wins, just one point behind the fourth place West Ham United, and Arsenal were one point behind Manchester United. Although the team under Lonnick said that the process of winning the game was relatively difficult, it can still be seen that their form is improving compared to the past. In the next round of the 17th round of the league, Arsenal will usher in a strong dialogue with West Ham United, and the victory or defeat of the two teams is directly related to their advantage in the next competition.
Teams in the mid-league focus on Leicester City and Wolves, two teams currently ranked close, one in the league 8th and the other in the 9th place in the league. Leicester City faced Newcastle in this round with a 4-0 victory over their opponents, returned to the top half of the table, and their form has been significantly restored, maintaining this rhythm and still promising to participate in the European competition. Wolves have lost 0-1 in recent games, facing Liverpool and Manchester City, and it seems that luck is not particularly good in the first two seasons of the Premier League dark horse.
Among the teams in the middle and lower reaches of the league, let us give our attention to Leeds United, the old strong team of the Premier League, the dark horse team of the season, the team that is the king of attack has not played well in the recent matches, only 1 win in 6 rounds, and the points are also ranked in the 15th position, although it will not fall into the relegation zone, but there are still big problems in wanting to have better results. After the summer transfer period experienced reinforcements, their defense did not improve, the offensive end instead declined, and leeds United were not safe without adjusting their strategies in time.
At this stage of the Premier League, the problems exposed by the teams have been relatively obvious, such as manchester United's defensive problems, Chelsea's midfield problems, and the overall strength of Newcastle, which require teams to adjust in the next winter transfer period, otherwise it will directly affect their goals this season. With less than a month to go until the next winter transfer period, what personnel adjustments will be made by each team, and how the strength will change, let's wait and see
