I'd say these days its more that the traditional midtable teams are all around the same level these days. It's why say Bournemouth can go on a 6/7 winless run but still be in a shout with Europe. Also helps when most teams get 4-6 points off the bottom 3, Spurs and Man Utd this season.

Liverpool have been the most consistent team. Arsenal have drawn too many (5 more than Liverpool) to make a decent challenge of it, especially when they've only lost 3 games in total.

It's a genuine shame that all the important stuff will be sorted a month before the season actually ends. But that's mostly because now Sky will blather on about the "Race for 4 5th".

Don't think the league has ever been stronger away from the bottom 3.

You've got Brighton, Bournemouth, Brentford, and Fulham managed by progressive managers all with good players.
Look at the ability of some of those Palace players last night.
Wolves regularly have 2 Brazilian internationals playing for them.
West Ham have guys like Bowen, Paqueta, and Kudus.

You've had Villa getting to the champions league quarter finals. Arsenal in the semis, united and Spurs in the europa league semis, and Chelsea in the conference league semis.

I could say the exact same thing about Celtic honestly. Are they really that good or is everyone else just that bad?
