Help me pick a team - English Premier League

I love the EPL and enjoy watching it, especially on the weekends, however, I don’t have a team. Unfortunately, I don’t have a local bar/pub dedicated to one team’s supporters. I’ve seen similar posts in the past about picking a team with players or a style of play that you like; however, players and style of play change, right?
I want an EPL team that I can regularly access, but I certainly don’t want the NY Yankees, Lakers, Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Cubs equivalent.
Any suggestions or comparisons/similarities to American sports that can help me pick a club to support?

I was thinking just yesterday that we could use some Leicester fans around here

Chelsea/Arsenal are both nice midtable sides.

I may be in the minority but I like not being chained to one team.

Give Everton a look. A generally likable side, with lots of history. Usually a solid, but not top 5 club, with occasional moments that make you think they can break through. Plus we got a Ha-mez now.

Everton!

Villa

I think you want Leeds United to be honest
EDIT- i'm still a Wolves fan, but they kind of suck right now

Are you a smaller town guy or a city guy? If you're a small town guy, the answer is Burnley, which has a population of about 70,000. If you're a city guy and you want an urban club that isn't a bandwagon following, I'd say the answer is Fulham or Crystal Palace. They each have a large following, with Fulham being in West London and Palace being in South London.

Do you have a bar or pub that shows any games?

Tottenham, lad.

Sheffield United if you’re not a pussy.

Liverpool. We’re on the fast track to the mid table

Mate - As a longtime supporter of Man City, I encourage you to give us a fair gander.
There is an unrivaled amount of pride that comes with following Manchester City, a pride in where we’ve come from, what we are now, and what the club will never lose as a fanbase.
I genuinely can’t think of another club’s “ultras” (superfans) that could possibly take pride in potentially being relegated…and I’m not even joking, lads... We City supporters truly do heartily belt out chants about us going down.
Then there’s the global aspect of our side - MCFC has quite rapidly grown from second fiddle in our own town to a global phenomenon. Ive been attending underground MCFC watch parties in Seattle - that’s how diehard we are! This while still retaining our hardscrabble identity and unique Mancunian swagger and character.

Well that rules out Leicester then

Villa. I started following in 2013, but now seems like a prime opportunity to get on before we're the American soccer hipster favorites.

Don't be like me and stubbornly stick with Newcastle. I don't know what would be a good North American sports team equivalent, but imagine having a horrible rich owner... oh wait, they're the Cowboys without the hardware. Unless you want to coout TWO Championship League trophies over the last 12 years.
