I think the best time of the season to start judging teams is when 19 games have been played and everybody has played each other place. As of now, we have played 12 games in the league and lead the way comfortably at the moment but that could all change come the new year. I can only see 4 teams competing for the title come April, these are who I think they are.
Arsenal - 28
Chelsea - 24
City - 22
United - 21
These are the fixtures each team face leading up to the new year and the results I think will happen.
Arsenal
Cardiff (A) - W
Hull (H) - W
Everton (H) - W
City (A) - D
Chelsea (H) - L
West Ham (A) - D
Newcastle (A) - D
Total - 40 points
Chelsea
Southampton (H) - W
Sunderland (A) - W
Stoke (A) - D
Palace (H) - W
Arsenal (A) - W
Swansea (H) - W
Liverpool (H) - L
Total - 40 points
City
Swansea (H) - W
WBA (A) - D
Southampton (A) - L
Arsenal (H) - D
Fulham (A) - W
Liverpool (H) - W
Palace (H) - W
Total - 36 points
United
Spurs (A) - W
Everton (H) - D
Newcastle (H) - W
Villa (A) - W
West Ham (H) - W
Hull (A) - W
Norwich (A) - D
Total - 38 points
Obviously I am not going to get all those results right or probably even half of them but I don't think it is hard to believe that 4 teams could well be separated by 4 points come the turn of the year. It means there is going to be a very exciting 2nd half of the season which could well be decided by the January transfer window. Bring it on
Midway point

Awful article. You really think we will only get 3 points out of our last 4 games? Man Utd to only be 2 points behind? Delusional

Anfield RAP (and Doovde): "After 38 games is better."
It's certainly easier.
I'm surprised at the stick the OP is getting over this article, seems like standard football prediction stuff to me and exactly the sort of thing these boards tend to lack - actual football chat.

I suspect city will walk this league after Xmas. When they're on their game they're different class to the rest of us, and they can't be this bad away from home indefinitely.

nothing is written in stone obviously but that would seem the most logical outcome

I think your lot have a better shout than your getting credit for Kaisers. Bad news about sturridge though.

We'll know just how bad it is soon enough - hopefully this is one of those things that a scan says isn't anything.
as for us, we don't have the depth probably to even get top 4. Depends a lot on the xmas window.
