In the current season, the English Premier League traditionally has brought a lot of bright emotions. There are competitions for entering the Champions League, as well as for not leaving the elite. Well, in the middle of the season, it was only clear who would become a champion.
The new campaign of the English Championship promised to be very intriguing. Real candidates for the title were:
? “Manchester City”;
? “Liverpool”;
? “Chelsea”;
? “Manchester United”;
? “Arsenal”.
As a result, the team of Guardiola showed an impressive winning series and left its closest rivals behind. The “citizens” went almost the entire tournament distance without any noticeable failures losing just a few matches.
Besides, the struggle for entering the Champions League is still entering the home stretch. “Arsenal” has obliviously dropped out of this, as the team of Arsène Wenger lost points when playing not only with direct rivals but also with outsiders of the league table. Although, “Arsenal” has an excellent chance to enter the Champions League due to its victory in the Europa League but it will have to compete with the strongest rivals there.
London “Chelsea” lost its energy too. The English Champions of 2017 were not able to compete with more experienced rivals. The EPL table of the current season is quite intriguing, especially in its middle. The uncompromising struggle between teams has long been a distinguishing feature of the championship. That is why the EPL attracts fans from all over the world.
The Best Sportsmen’s Confrontations
The teams are still competing for the second prize and being the elite. It is known that “West Bromwich” that has considerably fallen behind other competitors in the league table will leave the EPL. As for the second line, here, “Manchester United” has some advantage but the “red devils” guided by José Mourinho are too unstable. They can win the strongest rival but lose to the outsider – “WBA” – in the next round.
A lot of teams suffer exactly a lack of stability and that is why they cannot achieve all stated goals and show an impressive game. In summer, the EPL will see great changes, as some clubs have already acknowledged that they are going to replace main coaches. Some legends of English football finish their carrier too. We can expect the changes that will certainly make the championship not worse but more dramatic and intensive. New challenges will always stimulate the further development of the championship.
