Man City are favourites and I think most Liverpool fans accept that. We are just enjoying being back in a title race after a poor season in 22/23.

Salah will be back in max one month. We are lucky to have four other attackers who can more than keep us in the race. Luis Diaz, Nunez, Jota and Gakpo will keep us firing, I have no doubt about that. We have the best striker depth in the league, even better than Man City (squad depth).

I think we are stronger than Arsenal, the title is between Liverpool and Man City.

Liverpool is stronger than Arsenal no doubt and i also agree that Liverpool have the best striker depth in the league performance wise because all Liverpool attackers are involved in goal scoring and are very good counter attacking players.

Manchester City being the favorites I wouldn’t agree about that, i thought they were the favorites when the league started but injury hit them and they began to struggle just like every other team, it could be as result of lack of adequate squad depth. They are points away from Liverpool and if they were up against Arsenal i would not give up on them but Kloop is a very stubborn coach to challenge in situations like this so I have all hopes high for Liverpool.

Manchester City are still one of the best clubs in the season thus far. But they still need to score more matches before they can overtake Liverpool. 43 points beneath of the 48 points that Liverpool is carrying at the top of the table standing. The last 6 matches played by them were all wins and no lose at all.

Overtaking Liverpool would mean Liverpool would have to lose their matches and Manchester City winning theirs which is very unlikely to happen, Liverpool are already sighting the trophy from afar so they will be more focused and serious to win it than ever.

It is not about sighting the league title from a far, it is about delivering when it matters. Liverpool has 5 points advantage at the moment and Manchester City has a game in hand which if they win the lead will reduce to two points. If you check Manchester City has had their important players out for long and this second half of the season they are coming back from injuries. Had it been that the point deficit was like 8 or 9 points then I would have believed it would be difficult given the rate Liverpool are playing but I can tell you for fact that Liverpool will drop points and Manchester City will overtake them in the table.

Perhaps you are right and Man City could indeed soon take the top spot in the EPL... There was a similar situation last season when Arsenal were top of the standings and the gap was more than 10 points... At that time it was hard to believe that Man City would move them... I also think that now history may repeat itself...
