Liverpool has strong games coming which they should be prepared for, against Manchester United then against Arsenal. Those two games will determine if Liverpool will remain in top of the table or not, I bet that is the reason behind the coach resting some major players in his team like Mo Salah. After Manchester United, Arsenal will be ready because they have a great team news about the return of Thomas Partey who is an important player for Arsenal especially against other big teams because of his versatility.
You are right, it's easy to guess Liverpool really prepared the main player for these 2 matches because the results of the match will determine their position in the standings. Currently Liverpool are 1 point ahead of Arsenal, meaning they can't miss a single point even a draw will have an impact, fortunately all important matches at the end of the coming month will be played at home so Liverpool have a great chance to win.
As of now, situation is very good for the Liverpool to stay at the top of league table they are going to host two clubs in coming days both are tough but with current Liverpool performance things are looking interesting because they are leaders, and they are surely manageable to stay at this spot for the long time specially in next few games they are having mostly at home and opponents are struggling specially Manchester United which is down and out after exit from the Champions League their moral is down, and they could be punished here at Anfield with good number of goals after them, we will have second spotted Arsenal which is also having good time, and they are looking for the top but it's never been easy as currently Liverpool side is complete package for the top flight teams in Premier League.
