If I'm not wrong Manchester City can take the lead from Liverpool if they manage to win their missing game. Manchester City will probably win that game which is Brentford as well. But until then they have to keep the point gap like this at worst. Maybe they can get ahead earlier as well in Salah's absence for Liverpool but we will see.
In short Liverpool must be fully aware of the big threat behind. In the meantime I'm curious about Arsenal too. Do you think they can rejoin the title competition? I really can't be sure of them because of the highly inconsistencies they have every season.

Brentford just recently saw Ivan Toney who was absent for over two hundred plus days returning and also scoring a beautiful freekick against Nothingham Forest yesterday.
Believe me it won't be one easy game for Manchester City. But, we'll see how it finally goes. Pep Guardiola's manchester City are weapons of destruction they're not one easy side to play.
Liverpool and Klopp knows the challenges that's ahead of em in the Premier League, it's with they go hard or go down below in the Premier League standing.
West Ham United for the win today? No! They don't have lot of players, they'll definitely lose three points.
