Aston Villa for the title

Think we may start to pull away after the international break. Some important players will be returning from injury, we've had a tough set of fixtures so far and we're a point off top.

Pretty sure Arsenal finished 2nd that season

We will know about Spurs after the next run of fixtures as we have most of the big boys to play.

Why don't you stick a bet on it and see how you get on?

No one remembers Arsenal anymore because they're irrelevant

Too early to know which way Spurs are going to go. Winning games when not playing well is a good sign, but they've also had a fairly kind fixture list so far, so it would have been a worry if they weren't near the top of the table.

Leicester started the same way last season before falling off a cliff after Christmas, so will be interesting to see if they do the same again.

I'm excited, the PL looks open this year. I think you have a handful of teams at the top of the league who are around equal in quality with Lester and Tottenham standout so far. But no team will comfortably win the league this year it seems.

Nobody has stood out so far really.

Our sample size of games isn’t enough to tell me who good we are. We haven’t really played that well and we’re especially poor in the last three games

Need to see where we are six weeks from now for a truer reflection.

Fair play to them, they do seem to be walloping the smaller teams. But once they play the big boys like Tottenham, that might be their undoing.

Spurs can do more than get maximum points in the last three games, so not really sure performances matter. The Prem is points based, not performance based. Leicester had a lot of awful performances when they won the league, they were outplayed on numerous occasions, but they accumulated the points, which is the name of the game.

The amount of games that our clubs (Spurs, Leicester, and the others involved in Europe) are playing, you'd think it would favour the lesser clubs who don't have Europe. Add to that the lack of fans giving these teams maybe more of an advantage in the away games than they'd usually have, and it makes this campaign very unpredictable, which is kind of what we're seeing right now; a load of unpredictable results.

Yeah that's true, need to see where Spurs are after they've played some hard games.

I get that Sandy, but good performances tend to produce better results. I’d rather see us playing well, though I will take a good return from our difficult run of games even if the performances aren’t great.

Also Leicester’s performances weren’t awful, they had a style of play which, while it wasn’t pretty, was very effective.

Performances matter though Sandy. A win is a win but fans don't want to see us not turn up and get outplayed for the majority of the game before sneaking the 3 points.

Hopefully we shall see better performances when we return from the break.

True, but if we play anything like we have done in the last 3 games against The like of City and Chelsea, we will get walloped.

Performances have to improve and the next 7 games will tell exactly how far we have come under Mourinho.

Spurs winning the league, give over

Liverpool to retain the title. Won't even be a close one.

Agreed, it will be Liverpool's title unless Alisson gets a long term injury.
