With Liverpool drawing 2-2 with Tottenham Hotspur in the early hours of this morning, the first eighteen rounds of the Premier League are all over, and the Premier League half-time champions are ready to go! So who has the best chance of winning the Premier League halfway this season? I am afraid that the defending champions Manchester City, after a 4-0 victory over Newcastle, the Blue Moon has won 8 consecutive wins in the league to sit in the first place in the table, while the Blues Chelsea and the Reds Liverpool have lost points in this round and have gradually been pulled apart by the top of the table.
In the standings, Manchester City ranked first with 44 points from 14 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, followed by Liverpool with 12 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss with 41 points, Chelsea ranked third with 11 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses with 38 points, from the points points, Chelsea has no chance to compete for the half-way championship, and Liverpool still retains hope, but from the 19th round of matchups, this hope is undoubtedly shattered. In the 19th round of the Premier League, Manchester City will play against Leicester City, and judging by the state presented by the two teams this season, Manchester City will most likely continue to play the triumphant song and score 3 points, so that no matter what the outcome of Liverpool vs. Leeds United, the half-way champion belongs to the defending champion Manchester City!
It can only be said that the performance of Manchester City under Guardiola is really very stable. So far this season, Manchester City have only lost 2 games, namely 0-1 to Tottenham Hotspur in the first round and 0-2 to Crystal Palace in the 10th round, and since the last loss, Manchester City has not tasted defeat in the league for nearly 2 months, the last 2 games have scored 11 goals and conceded 0 goals, De Bruyne, Gralis, Foden, Mahrez, Sterling and Stones and other up to 9 people to complete the goal, the attack power can be said to be the only gear.
On the contrary, Chelsea, which has been occupying the first place in the table in the early stage, has been in a very sluggish state recently, in the past 6 games, the Blues have only achieved a record of 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, losing 9 points, and they have to give up the throne of the first place in the Premier League, although Tuchel came to Chelsea, the Blues have gone up a step in both attack and defense, but the stability of this piece has not been able to improve, in the face of Manchester City, not to mention the competition for the half-distance championship, I am afraid that this season is hopeless!
Of course, now the Premier League is only halfway through, the half-way championship can only represent the first half of who performs better, the key to the championship is still to look at the second half, but Xiaobian is still more optimistic about Manchester City and Liverpool two teams to win the championship, after all, from the perspective of staffing and championship temperament, these two teams have more opportunities to impact the last top of the Premier League!
