Premier League: 5 Reasons This Is The Best Title Race Ever

4. The Number Of Teams Involved

I have talked about the top four in the previous point, and it€™s certainly impressive that they are only separated by a few points. However, the real truth of the matter is that there are far more teams involved than that it this title race. It seems bizarre to say it, but it€™s actual possible that as many as eight teams in this league could have a shot at winning the title. Furthermore, it€™s worth remembering that the four teams that are just outside the top four are Everton, Newcastle, Man Utd and Spurs €“ not exactly small clubs! Spurs are currently down in eighth for example €“ but only eight points behind leaders Arsenal, things like that are making this such an intriguing title race. I think the key to the competitiveness in the league this season is keeping as many teams involved as we possibly can. Arsenals are currently leading the way and have won 12 of their 18 games, but they have also lost three times €“ putting that little bit of unpredictability into the mix. Man Utd are down in seventh place, yet some people would have put them down to win the league again. So, the more teams that are involved €“ the harder it will be to read how it finishes.
