Barclays Premier League predictions

I didn't expect Arsenal to be doing so well at this stage. Luckily they have avoided too many injuries this season. I think they have a good enough lead now keep the top spot until January even if they were to lose a key player through injury and then they can add more depth. I think the way they have played this season would attract many of the world's best players too.

They have been lucky with injuries, certainly. Even though Ox, Podolski, Walcott and others were missing at the same time, they had just enough depth to cover it. 5 points in not unassailable though, especially over the busy Christmas period. Losing Giroud, Koscielny or Szchezny would hit them hard as the backup options are a big drop in quality.

Then again, the only teams with true depth are Chelsea and City, and they  have been pants so far.

I just hope that my lot, Liverpool, keep it up for the rest of the season and strengthen in January.

Liverpool is taking a top 4 spot from ManU in my opinion.
