The first half of the season of the English Premier League has already shown that the fight for the title is not over. The gap between the teams is so big that it is impossible to say who will be the first to leave the Champions League zone.
At the moment, Manchester City is the main favorite of the fight. The Citizens have already won the EPL and the Champions Cup, so they can be considered as the main favorites of the remaining matches.
However, the Citizens have not been the only team that has been playing well. The main competitors of the Citizens are:
* Chelsea;
* Liverpool;
* Manchester United.
The last time the Citizens lost to the team of Mourinho was in the second half of last season, when the Citizens were defeated by the team from the United. It is now clear that the Citizens will not be able to repeat the success of the previous season.
The main goal of the team is to win the title, but the main task is to be in the Champions league zone. The team will have to fight against the main contenders of the Epl, but it is clear that Mourinho’s team is not ready for the fight against Barcelona.
If the Citizens lose to the Catalans, it will be extremely difficult for them to get into the Champions’ league zone, because the team has to fight for a place in the top 4.
