yes, Liverpool is slowly strengthening their position in the standings. This has been a bad season for Liverpool. Their form is not stable, but they might close this season quite well.
this season the most surprising is Newcastle. because last season they were still quite difficult, but different from this season. they look very promising. maybe a lot of bonuses will be given to players and that will be a motivation for them to play well.

today Brighton will face United. United sometimes doesn't play as expected. many fans are disappointed. it is possible that playing at home to Brighton will also not get good results for United.
