Quite a real race in the Premier League thus far.  Arsenal with a one point lead over Liverpool and Aston Villa.  Man City and Tottenham lurking behind.   

Yes. Man City always improves around late March, so they should be in it to the end. Dramatic draw with Crystal Palace, the team partly owned by our own Josh Harris. We would call it a "tie game", but I am trying to speak British English when I talk about English. Manchester City has not been winning so much this month.

Spurs had almost pulled themselves together as they beat Newcastle and then Nottingham Forest. They had serious injuries to a pair of stars plus suspensions to several defensive players. Playing good attacking football in the win over Forest, and then two of their previously suspended players got suspended again, one of them at the80th minute with a 0 - 2 lead. Ugh. But they will perk up as "President" James Maddison and Mickey Van De Ven return some time in January.
