Wrapping Up Our Premier League Matchweek 16 Review 

The direction of the Premier League title race became even less clear during Matchweek 16. With the top four teams – Liverpool (37), Arsenal (36), Aston Villa (35) and Man City (33) – separated by just four points, who knows where the trophy is heading? 

The festive EPL calendar serves up four rounds of fixtures between now and the end of the year, presenting tons of betting opportunities. By the time 2024 rolls around, the table should look very different.
