3rd – Aston Villa (36 pts) – three points off Arsenal after a 2–1 win vs Man Utd, making it 10 wins in a row in all comps and 7 straight in the league.
Premier League
5th – Liverpool (29 pts) – 10 points behind Arsenal, but officially back in the mix as title outsiders after a 2–1 away win at Spurs and an unbeaten run of six in all competitions.
In this Premier League GW17 review stream, we’ll break down how Arsenal, Man City, Aston Villa and Liverpool are shaping the title picture – with fans and creators @IndieKOP @GoalOye @wize0wize bringing their perspectives.
🔴 Arsenal – Top at Christmas (Again)
Result GW17: Everton 0–1 Arsenal – another narrow, “win ugly” performance to stay top. Unbeaten run: Longest in the league this season (11 games).
Key title-race angles:
Can Mikel Arteta finally turn being Christmas No.1 into a title, after missing out when top in 2022 and 2023? Bukayo Saka still decisive in tight games, with Eberechi Eze, Declan Rice and Mikel Merino giving Arsenal one of the strongest midfields in Europe.
We’ll talk about Arsenal’s habit of winning by one goal, their chance creation issues, and whether that’s “champion mentality” or a wobble waiting to happen.
🔵 Manchester City – Haaland, Foden, Cherki Heating Up
Result GW17: Man City 3–0 West Ham – another routine demolition.
Form: Seven wins in a row, three of them 3–0 in the league.
Key players:
Erling Haaland – 19 league goals already, joint-fastest to that mark before Christmas in PL history. Phil Foden – back to world-class levels, driving City’s creativity. Rayan Cherki – among the league leaders for chances created per 90, changing their attacking balance.
We’ll debate whether Pep Guardiola’s “not satisfied” comments are mind games, and if this ruthless City run makes them favourites despite Arsenal being top.
🟣 Aston Villa – Rogers & Emery’s Shock Title Charge
Result GW17: Aston Villa 2–1 Man Utd – Morgan Rogers brace, another statement win at Villa Park.
Form: Ten wins in a row in all comps, seven straight in the league – Villa are officially title contenders. Morgan Rogers – 7 league goals, one of the breakout stars of the season.
Ollie Watkins, John McGinn, Boubacar Kamara, Donyell Malen – the spine behind Villa’s climb to 3rd place, three points off Arsenal.
We’ll ask the big question: Is Unai Emery’s Villa a real threat to Arsenal & City, or are the xG numbers and tight wins a sign this might not last?
❤️ Liverpool – Isak Blow, Ekitike Surge, Slot’s “Outsider” Reds
Result GW17: Tottenham 1–2 Liverpool – huge away win, but Alexander Isak broke his leg scoring.
Table: 5th place, 29 points, 10 behind Arsenal – still in the conversation if the top three slip.
Form: Unbeaten in six across all competitions and improving after a disastrous November.
Key players in focus:
Hugo Ekitike – 8 league goals already, 5 in his last 3, now carrying the attack with Mohamed Salah away at AFCON. Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Virgil van Dijk, Milos Kerkez – how Arne Slot is reshaping Liverpool’s style.
We’ll decide whether Liverpool are genuine title outsiders or more in a fight for 3rd/4th while managing injuries and AFCON.
