Arsenal gave a tough battle until the final rounds last season but the luck just slipped away for them. Do you think this season will be the same and Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham will fight until the very last rounds? Or Man City will clearly win it? Do you see somebody else besides Man City winning it this year?

    I’d rather City win it comfortably than to lose out on the title by a point. I can’t take a third time.

      I get it but I disagree. As agonising as the disappointment is, the thrill and enjoyment of a neck and neck battle shouldn’t be discounted. Especially when we’re playing with an uneven deck.

      It’s a shame we get so fixated on the result. Yes, I’m obviously desperate to win but if you don’t enjoy the journey why even bother? When we came within 2 games of the quadruple, would it have been better to have a mediocre season?

    If City win it I’m not sure if I want them to win by 1 point because of that one Liverpool game. Would hurt more than that goal line clearance from couple seasons ago

    Tottenham probably could if 100% healthy, but right now I don’t think anyone can pip them for the title.

    City deserve to be favourites and will probably win again. The problem with a lot of good teams competing at once is they’ll also take points off each other. Liverpool as well as city both don’t hit those 90+ seasons if everyone else is decent. Plus the biggest thing we’re overlooking, KDB is missing….

    John Stones has been out a large portion of the season and KDB is yet to return. What City actually look like and how they’ll attack the league won’t be fully known until after Christmas. The next few games will be interesting.

    City will win it, plus they’ll win it for the next five years.

    They’ve already got the best players, plus even if they don’t they can afford to buy the best. Other teams only have the illusion of winning. Arsenal and Liverpool are top, top sides but lack the 1% difference to get over the line.

    Pains me to say it, but they’re playing on easy mode at the minute. As a United fan I can’t see us winning the title for at least 5-10 years.

    I’m not enjoying City dominating as much as the next guy. There’s just an inevitability about them winning as a team right now.

      Depends if Guardiola is there the next 5 years otherwise there’ll be a drop off. Quite a few of the core group are already a bit older and struggling to keep up physically with de Bruyne at the point of being a part timer now.

    The title race is still early to call. We will only know from April onwards. It’s tight right now; but we have 4 more months. Remember, Arsenal was going to win it until April 1st when everything came stumbling down.

    If Liverpool can improve their away form then they’ll be in the mixer when May comes around

    It’s man city until another team actually wins it. Arsenal didn’t bottle the title last year they were never going to win it. City are a win machine

    Man City are 1 point ahead after 12 games!! They are a huge 3 points ahead of the current 5th place team.

    Clearly they have an insurmountable lead. This is truly an embarrassment of a league. All of the other 19 teams need to go home and take a long look at themselves and evaluate if they are even trying.
