At the beginning of the season no one saw Liverpool coming, they played badly and at a time was battling to move to the big six, it was all Manchester city and Arsenal.
Now Liverpool sit 5 points clear of Arsenal and Manchester city with Aston villa their closest rivals.
I think in terms of consistency Liverpool are better than Arsenal and has a better chance of maintaining the top spot and would be Manchester city main adversary to them defending their premier league title.
They had a pretty rough start but managed to grow into the game and became consistent in their performance. I could remember how they nearly lost to Chelsea in their first game but ended d match as a draw, played a few more games with Bournemouth and Newcastle which they managed to win but wasn’t good performance though. They had this average performance going on for a while and still managed to win matches, no one saw them coming because they don’t play well and gradually they got to top 4 and were just some points behind Arsenal until Arsenal dropped points and they took the top spot.
Liverpool surely more consistent than any other club that’s why they are top of the league, Manchester City and Arsenal started well but lacked consistency and they are now struggling to find their feat now. It’s too early to conclude who will win the league as this is the premier league, the most competitive league so I can’t count Manchester City or Arsenal out of the race yet.
