If Premier League will be decided by 2021 results Manchester City bossed the Premier League in 2021
Chelsea and Liverpool both dropped points as Manchester City claimed victory over Newcastle United to open up a three-point lead at the top of the Premier League table. Pep Guardiola's team have won three of the last four Premier League titles and are well on course to make it four out of five. Can anyone stop them?
We were all promised the most competitive Premier League title race in years, maybe even ever. Four teams, as most saw it before the start of the 2021/22 season, were capable of challenging for top spot with Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United all kicking off with silverware in their sights. A lot has changed since then.
In fact, the season billed as the most competitive on record is at risk of becoming a one-horse race, that runaway leader being Manchester City. There might only be three points between Pep Guardiola’s team in top spot and the chasing pack, led by Liverpool, but there is a growing sense the defending champions won’t be caught.
