No respite for the brave. As usual during the end-of-year holidays, the English Premier League puts on its costume of light to play its traditional boxing day followed by football fans from all over the world. This 2023-2024 season of the elite of English football is particularly exciting because it is tight at all levels: from the back to not go down, to the fight for the title.
Manchester City best candidate for succession
Five clubs are serious contenders almost halfway through the season, from leader Arsenal at 40 points to defending champion Manchester City, fifth, six points behind. But with one game less. For the specialist in statistical studies choose, the Citizens are the best favorites for their own succession. At this stage of the current financial year, they have almost a one in two chance of keeping their property. More precisely 44.4% to finish in first place compared to 28.6% attributed to Arsenal.
The bottom three at the moment should stay that way
The Gunners should instead aim for second place, in the fight with the Liverpool Reds. Eighth and now well behind in the race for the title, or even Europe, Manchester United should end their season in the same place (19.5%). At the back, the positions should remain the same for the poorly ranked teams: Luton Town will be 18th at 26.9%, Burnley 19th at 33 and Sheffield United last, at 54.8%.
