Unasiness in the top four of the English Premier League

This weekend alone, the top 4 spots in the English Premier League table underwent a shakeup. The reason for the reorganization is not far-fetched. It was as a result of a match, the match between Chelsea and Manchester City. The full time score for the match is thus, Chelsea 2, Manchester City 0.

With this result, Chelsea is now third in the table and Manchester City fourth. So you can see the restlessness in the top 4 places in the EPL. Before this, Manchester City led Chelsea. Man City was in 3rd position while Chelsea FC was in 4th position. They led Chelsea with 2 points. But after Sunday’s game it was turned around and so we have the current situation mentioned above.

The question is this, what is the implication of this for the top 4 contenders who currently hold the top 4 positions in the league? The answer is simple; the race for the title is not over yet. No space should be considered safe, at least for now. Even the team that occupies the number 1 position, Manchester United, cannot afford to say that the title is now within their grasp and no other team can take them out of that number 1 position. They still have a lot of work to do to remain in that coveted position. Complacency on the part of the Man U at this time will cost them this precious position.

But this disturbance in these precious places at the table is caused by only 1 club at the moment. The club that causes it is Chelsea FC. The impact of this disturbance was heightened on Sunday when Chelsea won their home game against Manchester City 2-0. Of course, this was not good news for Man U fans. This is because their current most feared rival is Chelsea. So that they know the arduous task that lies ahead. His beloved team must overcome this rival if he wants to be sure of winning the title. Again, those who are up to date with the league know that this rival still has a game to play. If they win this game, the 9-point gap between their beloved team and their enemy will drop to 6, making things even worse. Here again we see the discomfort among the highest category.

In reality, the top four positions were never in peaceful conditions this season. They have always been experiencing a change of occupants, so the winner of this season’s English Premier League will be the one who overcomes this restlessness with the weapon of perseverance.
