After today's Premier League pre-holiday cheats schedule, the standings have also changed significantly, and Guardiola's team officially returned to their familiar top position after winning the opponent, and they reached the top with 13 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. It should be noted that although Guardiola, who used to like to slaughter opponents, no longer pay too much attention to the attack (40 goals), their defense is really too good, only conceding 9 goals. That's the stats after playing nearly half a season.
Second-placed Liverpool are also an important force in the title, with a record of 12 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss, scoring 8 more goals and conceding 4 more goals than Manchester City. Liverpool's 40 points are also very stable, especially Salah played too well. However, the upcoming National Africa Cup of Nations has worried Liverpool fans that their first ace will definitely go to the competition, and Mane is expected to go, which will bring great constraints to the team.
Third-place Chelsea fell from the top of the table, and they suffered a huge controversy after being forced to draw by the enemy in this round, and Tuchel had a bad time. The 37 points also have more than a win with Manchester City, and Tuchel must quickly make adjustments.
Arsenal have been eye-catching recently, finally returning to their familiar "fourth place" and Arteta's scolding voices are much less. It was nice to reform, and experiment. As for the problems in the team, they are also slowly sorting out and getting high recognition from fans.
Don't forget West Ham and Manchester United, as well as Tottenham Hotspur at no. 7, who are still key players in the race for foreign qualification next season. However, it fundamentally depends on the performance of the characters in the team, such as Ronaldo, Kane, Rice and so on. It also depends on the manager's play, especially the Red Devils newcomer Lonnick.
