Before the beginning of the new season 2015/2016, Telegraph
Sport’s football writers had done their verdicts on this season and Chelsea
turn up to be the most favourable club to win the title. Chelsea came into the season as defending
champions of the 2014-2015 season. Manchester city finishing previous season at
second place with 8 points behind following by Arsenal and Manchester United.
Unlike
Bundesliga, the winner of the Premier League title is much less predictable. By
looking at the current premier league table after 20 matches are played, Arsenal
is now at the top spot. Leicester City at the second place earned 40 points (2
points behind Arsenal), whereas Manchester City is at the third place. Title
defender Chelsea started off the season with awful performance, they are now at
the 14th, with only 6 wins and 5 draws out of 20 matches. Chelsea is
now 19 points behind Arsenal, it is very challenging for Chelsea to get back to
the top spot. They have to win most of the matches with the condition that
title challengers like Manchester City, Arsenal and Leicester City perform
badly for the rest of the season in order to be the champion once again.

think it will finally be Arsenal’s year. The healthy competition between Giroudand Walcott is something Arsenal needed in the game. With players like MesutOzil, Alexis Sanchez back to their form, consistently keep up their good form, Arsenal
