The Premier League has had a decidedly family feel to it so far. After last season’s centenary points haul (a Premier League record), Manchester City are again topping the table after 12 games.
Not only are Pep Guardiola’s men leading on points, but they have also comfortably outscored everyone else with 35 goals. They have improved on both ends as they have conceded the joint-lowest; five goals (two of which have been penalties).
Liverpool are second behind Manchester City. Jurgen Klopp’s Reds have looked like the real deal so far after spending £164m on transfers. The additions of Alisson Becker and Virgil Van Dijk have brought much needed defensive improvement.
Chelsea have been one of the surprise packages of the Premier League season. The Blues were expected to struggle as the players came to terms with new manager Maurizio Sarri’s style.
However, they have taken to Sarri-ball as a fish takes to water. Like the Cityzens and the Reds, they remain unbeaten after 12 matches.
Down at the bottom, some of the promoted teams have been struggling. Cardiff City were tipped to go straight back down. This is a prediction that is looking very likely despite the mini-revival before the international break.
Despite a £100m spend on transfers, Fulham has looked disjointed, conceding goals by the bucket load. They sit bottom of the league, a position that cost manager Slavisa Jokanovic his job.
Premier League winner Claudio Ranieri has been installed as new manager and his task will be simple; avoid relegation.
Premier League Gameweek 13 Analysis and Betting Prediction
Gameweek 13 promises to continue the drama the Premier League has become noted for.
Saturday’s fixtures include the visit of City to the London Stadium to face injury-ravaged West Ham. Marco Silva’s Everton will be confident of getting the three points against Cardiff at Goodison Park, Brighton & Hove Albion will host Leicester City while, at Old Trafford, a beleaguered Manchester United tackle Crystal Palace.
A hot-and-cold Watford side will host Liverpool while Ranieri’s Fulham host a very poor Southampton side at Craven Cottage. Saturday’s games will be concluded by the titanic London derby between Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea at Wembley Stadium.
Sunday’s round of games kicks off at the Vitality Stadium as Bournemouth hosts Arsenal in a game that promises goals. At the Molineux, Wolves host Huddersfield in what is expected to be a feisty game.
Gameweek 13 of the Premier League concludes on Monday as relegation battlers Burnley and Newcastle United face off at Turf Moor.
