Looks like I was wrong below about Chelsea.

I don't see Chelsea anywhere near the title at this point. I think they can still finish 3rd (maybe 2nd), but the gap will be relatively significant. Unfortunately, that thought is not only related to their recent performance. City is starting to hit their stride and will run away with it.

COVID and AFCON will be the undoing of Liverpool. It's possible the former will stop the latter. If Liverpool players keep testing positive, they'll eventually be added to the list of postponed games and a congested fixture list later in the year won't do them any favors. Either that or there will be a record for first time appearances for the youngsters.

I think best case for Liverpool will be to remain in shouting distance down the stretch without ever mounting a serious threat.
