As the Premier League nears its 27th round, did you know? The team with the highest points in the last 10 rounds is not Arsenal at the top, nor Manchester City in second, nor Aston Villa in third, but Brentford — the Bees — who have recently been very impressive despite losing coach Flick (dismissed by Spurs) and two main forwards, Mbeumo (to Man United) and Wissa (to Newcastle).
According to data from Livescore, the top 5 teams by points gained in the last 10 Premier League rounds are as follows:
Fans have been discussing this widely — Brentford truly is a system-driven team; despite changing their coach and forwards, they remain the Premier League Bees. Many say Arsenal is slipping up, but little do they realize that Manchester City falters just as much. So, who will win the Premier League this season is really uncertain. Arsenal does drop points, but this season’s Manchester City is no longer the unstoppable chasing force in the latter half; they also slip up frequently. Since the managerial change, Manchester United has been scoring heavily, making the fight for fifth place possibly even more intense than the title race.
