If Liverpool want to win the title, they must win consistently. Liverpool is now only 2 points ahead of Manchester City. Losing a point in a match would also see Liverpool lose top spot in the table. This is why every match now is very important for Liverpool.
Changes in position from first to fifth can still occur because the difference in points is very small. Liverpool is under pressure from Manchester City with a difference of two points, a defeat suffered by Liverpool in the next match makes it lose first position if Manchester City manages to win the match in the same week. This season's EPL competition is more competitive than last season, Tottenham, who is in fifth place, has the same points as Arsenal, who is in fourth place. Arsenal must win the match in Week 21 to stay away from Tottenham and catch up with the points collected by Aston Villa.
Manchester City which is starting to find its best playing form, is trying to reach the top of the standings from Liverpool. The difference of two points with Liverpool makes the competition at the top of the standings even more exciting.
At the stage of the league there is no room for complacency among the top 4 teams any flop or drop in point would result to runner-up team taking over top position, though currently Liverpool is trying to consolidate their top position even in the absence of Mo.Salah, however Man City seem to be more formidable now with the return of star player and midfield maestro Kevin DeBruyne they team would be difficult to be defeated, even Arsenal though had dropped in form yet they shouldn't be completely written off thus would fight til finish, personally I can't predict the likely winner of the league because there are many more matches to be played.
