The very narrow difference in points collected by Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal means that the three of them still have the opportunity to fight for the EPL trophy. The injury problems experienced by Liverpool did not make their performance decline, Liverpool managed to maintain a good balance even though they were unable to strengthen several key players. However, they must remain focused on their goal, one point ahead of Manchester City and two points ahead of Arsenal means their position is still not safe.
A change of position is still very possible if Liverpool and Manchester City are unable to maintain their performance because Arsenal is very ready to take over their position. The EPL trophy hunt is more competitive than last season, it is very difficult to predict which team will succeed in winning the trophy hunt because one of these three teams still has the same chance.
Yes, that's what I mean. This season's competition has become very competitive compared to before because it wasn't just dominated by the three teams which in fact only have a small difference in points and it could be said they have comparable power and performance. But, there are also many elements of surprise, where the mediocre teams could become a stumbling block in the title race. Like when Man City lost against Wolves, many certainly didn't think that would happen. So I think surprises like that could still happen throughout the rest of this season.
