Ten matches have been played by most of the teams as the Premiership goes through its first quarter this season.As exciting as ever, the English Premiership this season has been very competitive and unpredictable thus far. The rise of Manchester City and Tottenham are seriously threatening the "Big Four". Current league position: 3rdMatches played: 9 (6W-1D-2L)Earlier brief prediction: Chance of winning the league is there but it's slim. At the same time, the possibility of Arsenal dropping out of top four is small.My updated prediction hasn't changed much. Arsenal doesn't look like they will drop out of the top four like what some people predicted ahead of this season. The team looks strong as the young players have all risen to a level capable of beating any team in the world.Skipper Cesc Fabregas is becoming more and more important to the team. He is not just reliable defensively, but he also gets goals for his team.
