It's a three-way tie between Liverpool-City-Arsenal

Liverpool came from behind to win 4-1 against Luton Town in the English Premier League last night. Jurgen Klopp's team strengthened their position at the top with 60 points in this comeback win. Liverpool had 57 points from 25 games until last night. Manchester City's points are 56, Arsenal's 55 in equal matches.

Liverpool beat Luton yesterday to move 4 points ahead of City and 5 ahead of Arsenal, but the gap remains theoretically what it was. Because Liverpool's match is now one more. Excluding this match, the difference between the number 1 and 3 teams in the Premier League until last night was only 2 points. There is no doubt that the most intense battle in Europe's top league is taking place in England.

In France, PSG lead by 13 points, in Italy, Inter Milan are 9 points ahead of Juventus at No. 1, Bayern Munich are 8 points behind Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, while Girona, who have long been top of Spain, are now 6 points behind Real Madrid at No. 2. While the other four of Europe's top five leagues are in such monotony, the situation in England is almost the same.

Still, England is considered to be the busiest league in Europe. However, City have almost made it a one-horse race since Pep Guardiola took over at Manchester City, winning the Premier League five times in the last six seasons. However, out of these five times, City won the league by just 1 point ahead of Liverpool twice. After all, City's main rivals for the past six seasons have been Liverpool, who won the league after 30 years in the 2019-20 season. Arsenal took Liverpool's place last season.

However, the Gunners ultimately failed to win the league despite finishing 27 weeks out of 38 weeks at the top. City won the league with a great performance in the end. The fight in the league this time has got a different dimension, because this time it is not a two-way fight, but three teams are fighting for the title. After 25 matches - Liverpool, City or Arsenal - there is no chance of any team being left behind.

The 2015-16 season was the last time the Premier League saw such a stretch. After 26 matches, third-placed Arsenal were 2 points behind table-toppers Leicester City. Only 7 times in Premier League history has such a small difference in points been seen at this stage of the season, only 4 times this century!
