But City still has one game left. If they win against Burnley then there will only be a difference of 2 points left. Liverpool's next matches are against Arsenal and Chelsea and City's next matches are against Brentford and Everton. I think there will be changes in the standings after those two matches. With a difference of only 2 points, I don't think it's too big a difference to say that Liverpool have secured the points. I'm not underestimating Liverpool because of their consistency but they will play those two big matches without Salah if he hasn't recovered from his injury.
Based on match schedule, Manchester City postponed match against Brentford will play on 21 February and seems large opportunity for Liverpool lead top position for one month later depend on consistency winning performance. Current standings, Liverpool have 5 points left from Manchester City and get three points last match against Bournemouth for the first time after Mohamad Salah injury.
Have difficult opponent team upcoming match against Chelsea and Liverpool without Salah although he was return to the club after injuring with his national team.
Next match Man City will face Burnley with bigger chance get three points, premier league teams top fourth current standings very interested because Man City, Arsenal and Aston Villa have the same 43 points.
