City Slip Up but Remain Favourites
The Sky Blues started the season in excellent fashion, winning five games on the bounce without conceding a goal.
However, despite the obvious depth and quality in their squad, they have not been able to keep up such form and fell to a second league defeat in three matches on Saturday in their loss to an excellent Stoke.
Marko Arnautovic netted both goals for the Potters, and City looked a long way off their best—especially in defence, where they sorely missed Vincent Kompany, per Goal.com's Sammy Lee:
They do remain favourites for the title, though, and given that they have the best squad in the English top-flight, that is no surprise.
Sergio Aguero and Yaya Toure were also missing for the trip to Stoke on Saturday, which may have been another contributing factor to their poor display.
Manuel Pellegrini's men remain only three points off the top of the table, and with a number of key players set to return to action soon, they could make some headway over the Christmas period.
They will have to rely on table-topping Leicester City dropping a few points, but the Foxes continued their impressive campaign on Saturday with a 3-0 victory over Swansea at the Liberty Stadium.
Riyad Mahrez netted a hat-trick, adding further to his and Jamie Vardy's impressive combined tally, which has been so important this season, per Sky Sports News HQ:
Though Claudio Ranieri's side sit top of the table after 15 matches, the bookies still have them as outsiders to take the title.
The expectation is that they will drop away eventually, and with upcoming fixtures against Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool and the Sky Blues, it would be remarkable were they still to be topping the table come the new year.
Arsenal halted a run of three league games without a win by beating Sunderland 3-1 in Week 15 to move to second place in the league.
Olivier Giroud, Joel Campbell and Aaron Ramsey got the goals for the Gunners as the north London outfit coped at the Emirates without the injured Francis Coquelin, Alexis Sanchez and Santi Cazorla.
However, given the lack of depth in their squad, manager Arsene Wenger likely needs to make some additions in January if Arsenal are to maintain a title challenge in the second half of the season.
Manchester United may also wish to dip into the transfer market in the winter, as they proved once again on Saturday against West Ham United that they are sorely lacking in the goalscoring department.
A fifth goalless draw in their last nine matches saw them slip down to fourth in the league table, and their title hopes will evaporate fast if they continue to fail in front of goal.
Things are tight at the top of the Premier League as the important Christmas period approaches, with the top challengers all remarkably inconsistent and defending champions Chelsea effectively out of the running altogether—they lost 1-0 at home to Bournemouth in Week 15.
As ever, the packed December schedule should give an indication as to which side is best equipped to go all the way this season, but inconsistency remains among every Premier League side.
