At the beginning of the season, Manchester City demonstrated poor play and it seemed like the team would drop out of the title race earlier than expected. However, a series of five victories brought the Manchester club back into contention and currently the team is in third place, having played two fewer games than Leicester City. According to bookmakers, currently four teams have the best results and are the favorites to win the league. More about this can be read here - enter the website. In this article, we will analyze the teams that have a realistic chance of winning the English league and which teams among the current favorites are likely not to maintain such a result until the end of the season. It is most surprising that currently in the first place in the table is the Leicester City team, which in its last matches defeated London's Chelsea team with a score of 2-0. These matches did not go well for the London club, as an 11-meter penalty was canceled after a VAR review in the first half, after which the team immediately conceded the second goal. Also, in the second half of the second half, a goal was disallowed as the VAR referee saw that the goal scorer was offside. This victory allows the Leicester City team to enjoy the first place in the table, however, it will be very difficult for this team to maintain the first place as it is a team that, although it demonstrates solid play, has less experience than its main competitors. Such a great performance by the Manchester City team allows for positive feedback about this team and the last 5 matches show that the team is back on the path of victories, simply dominating the Premier League. Just recently, the team collected record numbers, but it definitely did not demonstrate championship-level play this season. However, the team returning to the path of victories has very good conditions to finish the entire season victoriously, as the team's atmosphere improves with each match, and at the start of the season, the team slowly begins to silence its critics. It will be very interesting to see how Manchester City will finish the season and also fun that there is a rivalry against another team from the same city - Manchester United. This season, Manchester United is one of the biggest surprises. For many years we have not seen this team as one of the favorites to win the league, but it seems that the legendary club has returned to the heights of the English league and this season has really realistic chances to lift the trophy. Currently, Manchester United is in second place and has played one game less than Leicester City, and in terms of points, they only have one less, so all the chances are now to be in first place. Playing against the strongest English teams this season will still be necessary, so it will be very interesting to see how a victorious game can be maintained when playing against the main competitors, as several matches in these races could be crucial. Speaking of favorites in the English football league, it is necessary to also talk about the current champions - the Liverpool team. If we compare the dominance of last season and this season, it certainly differs and the team no longer plays that dominant, winning, and secure game. Liverpool is currently in fourth place and has 4 points less than the Leicester City team. It will be very difficult for last year's champions to defend the title, as the game is not as secure as last season, and other teams play against Liverpool with double energy, as they know they are playing against the current English champions. In addition to the fact that the team does not demonstrate such a victorious game, it contributed to the fact that at the start of the season, there were quite a few injuries and due to injury dropped players, the team cannot demonstrate its best form. It is interesting that in the title race, the London Tottenham Hotspur team also joins, which is currently in fifth place, but lags behind the first place by 5 points and has played one game less, which means there are still chances to fight. In the last 5 matches, the team managed to win only twice and currently the form is definitely not the best, if the team does not return to the path of victory in the near future, it is likely that it will be one of the first five teams to withdraw from the race for the first place.
