So far Liverpool are still unstoppable even though they are without their main striker who is currently absent (Salah), the victory over Bournemouth further strengthens their position at the top of the standings with 48 points, even though they are currently at the top of the standings but Liverpool do not yet have a safe position as title challengers considering several the teams below still have a big chance to overthrow Liverpool,

I wasn't even expecting Liverpool to slow down because Salah left. Klopp knows how to handle his team well. The year Liverpool won the League last, both Salah and Mane left for the AFCON, and still Liverpool held on. It's just for a month at most and about 5 league matches would be played within that time.
Even with Salah injured, I don't think that would do so much to Liverpool.

What would decide the league winner IMO will be the matches between the top teams. Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool still have to face each other. If Liverpool can get 9 points from these two fixtures they will be so close to winning the leagues. If Manchester gets the 9 points they will win the league IMO. At this point in the league, I don't think either of these teams will drop unnecessary points along the way, injury or no injuries.
