3. City are just too good
In any other season, with the form that Chelsea are in, they might easily sit on the top. But the way that Pep Guardiola's men are playing, it would still be a good season for Sarri and Co. if they manage to finish second.
According to some, the current Premier Legue champions are even playing better than last year, a year in which they managed to secure 100 points! What's more crazy is that they are still waiting for the arrival of their star player that is Kevin De Bruyne. Truth be told, they are not even missing him right now.
Unlike Chelsea, City have huge squad depth, and this will help them go through the difficult periods of the season like December and January very easily. And by that time, the title race might well be done and dusted.
