Before the end of 2019:
Liverpool are playing 7 PL games for 21 points
Chelsea and Manchester City are playing 8 PL games for 24 points
There is a long way to go. The title race is less than 1/3 complete and the different between 1st place and 4th place is just 9 points. The difference between 1st place and joint 2nd/3rd is just 8 just points.
2003 : liverpool 5th
2009 : liverpool finish 2nd ... 'one more step'
2010 : liverpool 7th
2014 : liverpool finish 2nd ... 'one more step'
2015 : liverpool 6th
2019 : liverpool finish 2nd ... 'one more step'
2020 : still waiting liverpool to fall ...
No more big matches for liverpool in 2019... they will only face mediocre teams and bottom teams , I will be happy to bet against liverpool with high odds on the opponent team , sooner or later I have a strong guts... they will lost during this unbeaten campaign.
Anything is possible but the chances of Liverpool remaining unbeaten all season? Only Arsenal did it in the Premier League and that was in 2003/04 season. They won 26 and drew 12 games. Their 49 match unbeaten Premier League run ended when Manchester United beat them and then started the Arsenal decline. They won 3 FA Cups before Wenger departed and never won the Premier League again.
It is far too early to pick a winner but if recent history shows one thing it is clear Manchester City are not out of it yet and judging by the fantastic football Chelsea are playing it makes them challengers too. Just one defeat for Liverpool and a win for the chasing pack will put pressure on Liverpool. It will be great to see the Premier League matches after returning from the international break.
