Can't read the article because of the paywall. I think this season is a blip in terms of the competitiveness at the very top of the PL table. What Liverpool are doing this season is unprecedented in modern day English football but as you allude to its really because of the state of the other usual rivals rather than completely all Liverpool's efforts. Its a bit like when Leicester won the title, it was a combination of their perfect season coupled with the so called big 6 all being in transition. This season Man City have fallen away from the heights they have set over the last two seasons, Chelsea are suffering from their transfer embargo, although they may ultimately benefit from it with their younger players, MU and Arsenal are in turmoil and have been for a few seasons now and Spurs are being Spurs!!!! This might also though be the beginning of a change of the old guard, should we even consider Arsenal and Spurs as Big 6 clubs??
