Manchester City still has one game postponed against Brentford and it looks like it will be difficult for Brentford to beat City so it could be said that City's point difference with Liverpool is only two points and that's a small point difference so anything is possible especially if Liverpool don't maintain their performance but so far Liverpool managed to handle the match well after two draws which were quite detrimental because they lost four points, also Mohammad Salah's absence was still handled well because they managed to get full points without the presence of this key player, Darwin Nunez, who scored a goal in the match against Bournemouth, will try to become a more productive striker so that his team can get full points and become champions of the English Premier League this season. so this will be a tight competition because City also looks like they are starting to perform well when KDB returns to the field.
Don't rush yet until City win their match, the difference between them and Liverpool is 5 points, when City win then we will talk about two points. Liverpool played without Salah and did very well, and now Salah is returning to Liverpool, but he was injured and looks set to miss at least a month to recover, so Liverpool will still have to play without him for a while. De Bruyne returned to the game, and Liverpool lost Salah for a while, football injuries are not uncommon here.
In this case Man City is the party who benefits because Kevin de Bruyne return coincides with Mo Salah long absence. And for the party that is slightly disadvantaged, Liverpool needs to be able to overcome Mo Salah absence in any way. In the last match Nunez was Liverpool substitute and savior to maintain the point difference from Man City. But because 1 month is quite a long time it means that there are 3 to 4 matches that have to be played without Mo Salah and this is clearly not something that is easy for Liverpool to go through. The 5 point difference is not the problem but Liverpool consistency is at stake without a capable striker. I don't doubt Liverpool players but Mo Salah presence is vital in every victory they achieve.
