Aston Villa had a fantastic victory, forcing Arsenal to give up three points. With this victory, Aston Villa can confidently say they've joined the league title race. Manchester City's victory this week, where Arsenal dropped points, has brought them closer to the title lead. Also, speaking of Liverpool's match, they drew 3-3 with Leeds. I suspect this will be their last year as manager.
Everyone believed the Aston Villa and Arsenal match would end in a draw match but Aston Villa forced a win against Arsenal in the last minute of the match. Even though Arsenal is topping Aston Villa with just two points, I don't see Aston Villa as Premier League title contenders because at some point this season they will start dropping points.
Yes, they may not be champions, but we can say they're contenders. They're currently just three points clear of Arsenal. While the real race will be between Manchester City and Arsenal, at least Aston Villa is also in the running at this stage. Liverpool and Chelsea, on the other hand, have fallen out of the race because they're so far from the top.
Speaking of Liverpool, they've been a big disappointment this year. They currently sit in eighth place and have only 23 points, putting them ten points behind the leaders. Naturally, we can say Liverpool has fallen out of the race. They've scored 24 goals and conceded 24, and their defensive performance is terrible. They also failed to secure three points in the final minutes of the match against Leeds, failing to prevent Leeds' goal.
