After Moh Salah absence due to injury, Manchester City has more opportunities to catch up with the 1 match postponed. 5 points is a bit tough but Liverpool also need to win every game without Moh Salah and in any case I think that's a difficult challenge. The rivalry between the two will continue until the end of the season, but if Manchester City has Haaland back in their squad, every match will automatically become easier. Because there is Kevin De Bruyne beside him to guard and ensure Haaland scores goals.
For Arsenal still can't join the title race, and I hope Arteta realizes that. It would be better for Arsenal to think of a way to maintain third position so that it is not stolen by Aston Villa, whose existence this season really needs to be watched out for.
First Premier League match not much problem for Liverpool getting three points without Mohamad Salah after defeating Bournemouth over 0-4, crucial upcoming matches later against Chelsea and Arsenal how impressive with Liverpool performance without Salah likely confirmed will absent for longer time. Liverpool has two matches left in this month before facing two crucial matches in Premier League, tomorrow night The Kop will face Fulham on EFL Cup second leg and three days later will face Norwich City on FA Cup 4th round.
For Premier League tittle race actually have many teams still get chance for winning not only Liverpool and Manchester City but also have Arsenal, Aston Villa then Tottenham Hotspurs with not many points left from Liverpool managed top position standings awhile. All top fourth teams still has the same opportunity with Premier League tittle this season but depend on consistency performance or not actually with crucial match against top teams.
