5 biggest surprises of the ongoing Premier League season

The English Premier League is arguably the best league in the world for its unpredictable nature. Every now and then a wonder or a shock pops up and amazes the world. Such a volatile nature of the league makes it more exciting and worth following.Every point earned in the league is hard fought and usually requires a moment of magic. The season so far has produced some jaw-dropping moments and runs. But not all teams and players will be pleasantly surprised. Nonetheless, they’re a part of the whole that makes the English Premier League what it is.Here is a list of top five surprises of the EPL season so far: 

#1 Downfall of the champions

History is the proof of Mourinho’s slump in the third season wherever he goes. Chelsea who were red hot last season and managed to win the prestigious crown are down deep in relegation territory after twelve games. The dip in form of star players all at once seems to be the case here.

The Blues were setting an example of defensive solidity last season; however, they have conceded twenty-three already with twenty-six matches to come. Last season’s top players are as good as ghosts this time around with no contributions.

Hazard who was compared to Cristiano Ronaldo by his manager is likely to become a bench warmer if he continues to play the same way. Diego Costa is piling up weight instead of stacking goals like the previous season. The Spanish striker is more of a fighter than a goal scorer for his club.

The sack looms large on Mourinho, a manager who brought them to unbelievable heights is now part of the Premier League sack race. At this point of time only Willian and Ramires are doing justice to their spots in the starting lineup. Summer signing Pedro is yet to sparkle like his Barca days. It’s about time Jose and his men get their act together.
