The EPL Season So Far: Surprises and Disappointments

As we approach the halfway mark of the Premier League season, it's time to take stock of what has been a thrilling campaign so far. While some teams have exceeded expectations, others have fallen short of their own targets.

One of the biggest surprises has been the form of Leicester City, who are currently sitting in 5th place after being written off by many pundits at the start of the season. Their impressive run of results has been built on a solid defensive foundation and some clinical finishing up front.

The Battle for the Top Four: Who Will Miss Out?

Meanwhile, at the other end of the table, there are several teams who are struggling to stay in touch with the top four. Arsenal and Tottenham have both had disappointing starts to the season, and it's hard to see them turning things around.

Chelsea, on the other hand, have been a different story altogether. Despite their early struggles, they've managed to turn things around and now find themselves just outside the top four. It's going to be an uphill battle for them to get back into contention.

Player Performances: Who's Shining and Who's Struggling?

On the individual level, there have been some standout performances from players across the league. Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne has been his usual dominant self, while Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk has continued to be a rock at the back.

However, it's not all good news for every player. Manchester United's Paul Pogba has struggled to find his form this season, and it's hard to see him turning things around anytime soon.
