Im not arguing they are equally likely; but I think anyone of them has chance of falling in our out. Man United have had their luck, no injuries of note and more pens than a bic factory. Liverpool could find themselves 7th by the weekend (they have two very very tough fixtures, before playing Brighton, city and us)  & any one of the rest is capable of winning 5 in a row. West-ham should be in that mix as well, they will beat liverpool at the weekend, given the preperation differences it is set up for them
