The Premier League, Ranked, Vol. 5
Bill Connelly and I are back on our BS with the latest round of our Premier League re-ranking. You’ll never guess who’s number 1:
After sputtering through the first third of the season mostly without Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland, City have won six matches in a row. They're two points back of Liverpool, but with an extra game in hand. It's mid-February, and after five months of Tottenham, Arsenal, and Liverpool taking turns atop the table, we're back where we always are. If City win out, they win the league.
They, of course, won't win out ... right? Right. (I think.) But the point is that all City have to do is win more points than Liverpool and Arsenal from here on out, and the league will be theirs for the fourth year in a row. Is there any reason we should expect anything other than exactly that to happen?
I also went on ESPN FC Live to talk about the rankings and more specifically how much I love Everton Football Club. Toffees4Lyfe:
Happy Friday, all.
