The 17th round of the Premier League season is coming, and we are already approaching mid-December, which should be enough to suppose that the ranking is not the result analyzed by today soccer predictions of an extraordinary chance. The teams generally found their level:some will improve, others will fail, but Burnley looks really good and steady.
Shaun Dash has done a terrific job, and with Stoke City (1:0) his boys have climbed to 4th in the table before Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham matches today after playing as guests and not losing to Liverpool andTottenham, and Chelsea would be champion. Does that mean the time has come to think if that is possible?
The last two champions -;Leicester and Chelsea were relieved not to think of matches in Europe, and Burnley alone has this luxury of everyone at the moment. No one says that even the 2nd in the rankings can be overtake n by Manchester City leader, let alone the 7th in power (and maybe rank after today`s rounds), but is it so unrealistic to participate in the Champions League? Still, Burnley has won more matches from Liverpool, lost as much as Chelsea 3 and has finished as Tottenham as the defense is in third place after the two leading Manchester teams. And who knows what January can bring
What if Philippe Coutinho still leaves Liverpool for Barcelona? What if the contribution of Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Oosil to Arsenal drops as they approach the end of their contracts and learn their next destination? What if Antonio Conte`s complaint over the revised calendar proves to be justifiable with the resumption of the battles in the United States? Well, then the difference between the elite teams and the modest Burnley might not be as great as it now seems to us.
The team has won more games at zero in 2017 from both Liverpool and Chelsea. It would be a phenomenal achievement e ventual ranking in the Top 4, but no longer unthinkable. Leicester, God to live them, can testify to this.
