The Premier League 2021/22: A Mid-Season Report
The 2021/22 Premier League season is reaching its halfway point, and the table is beginning to take shape. After 19 matches played, Manchester City holds a healthy lead at the top of the standings, with Liverpool and Chelsea in hot pursuit.
Manchester City has been in imperious form this season, winning 14 of their 19 matches and scoring a league-high 51 goals. Pep Guardiola's men have been particularly impressive in recent weeks, winning their last six matches in a row.
Liverpool, last season's champions, are just one point behind Manchester City in second place. The Reds have also been in excellent form, winning 13 of their last 15 matches in all competitions. However, they have suffered some costly draws lately, which has allowed Manchester City to open up a small gap at the top.
Chelsea, who won the Champions League last season, are in third place, three points behind Liverpool. The Blues have been inconsistent this season, but they have shown signs of improvement under new manager Thomas Tuchel. They have won their last three matches in the Premier League and will be hoping to keep the pressure on Manchester City and Liverpool.
Arsenal and Manchester United are the only other teams in the top six, with both clubs level on points. Arsenal have been in impressive form in recent weeks, winning their last four matches in all competitions. Manchester United, on the other hand, have struggled for consistency, but they remain in the hunt for a top-four finish.
At the other end of the table, Norwich City and Watford are languishing at the bottom. Both clubs have just one win from their 19 matches and look destined for relegation. Newcastle United and Burnley are also in the relegation zone, but they still have a chance of survival.
