I think they actually do. It’s not that they are good enough, it’s the help they get and their style of play. They play counter and only need one lucky ball over the top to create a decent chance, we play possession and EVERYONE just defends against us. It’s harder for us to score than the rags by the way we play, all we need is to be slightly off pace or unlucky for a result to go against us, where as they play percentages and can Fluke something (as well as the help from the refs). So yes they have a chance, I don’t like it but they do
 
Write these lot off at your peril! We all thought Leicester would fall away but they won it. They have an extra leg up now with VAR working for them in their favour. They play absolute dog turd football but it's effective. They are more than happy to be ultra direct and nick games 1 nil. Bit like the season Mourinho had at Chelsea. Not easy on the eye but it got them over the line.
 
Decided to do a little bit of research. Easiest way is to reference my own tweet here with the images, sorry:



The reason they're top is quite simply because City/Liverpool have dropped their standards. With 13 points after 17 games they'd be the following in other years:

19/20 - 13 points off the top in 3rd
18/19 - 9 points off the top in 5th
17/18 - 13 points off the top in 3rd
16/17 - 7 points off the top in 4th.

They've got a long way to go and I genuinely think that if City and/or Liverpool pick up anything even remotely close to their old form they'll stroll ahead of United.
