We are still watching the race between the two teams with a difference of 2 points then everything is still possible Liverpool and Manchester City continue to play consistently and we will wait for who will get an unlucky day or we have to wait when both teams fight each other. Here I see Manchester City with more efforts because before they played badly but finally could find the best game especially after Kevin De Bruyne returned.
The title race in the Premier League seems to be getting more and more interesting. As you said, Man City will get an injection of strength after De Bryune's return because it turns out it won't take long for him to return to his best form. Of course, this is good progress for Man City, not only did they get their key players back but also increased the confidence of the other players.
I think apart from Man City and Liverpool, Arsenal also still has a pretty good chance in the title race because they are only 5 points behind Liverpool and I don't think this is a big gap.
Liverpool managed to secure their first position at the top of the standings, and this is a very good step to win in the English League this season. The next task for Liverpool is to maintain their defense and, as much as possible, not lose every upcoming match; they must win even though there is only one goal difference. It may seem like hard work, but I am sure that such efforts will give very pleasant results and don't depend on other great players.
Even though they played without Salah and Alexander Arnold, Liverpool was still able to play impressively and actually got a big win. This shows that their game does not depend on one or two individuals for them to play well in every match and I think one of the keys to their consistency this season, they have good composure in every game.
