With the present stats, Liverpool is pulling alright, they are giving this season their best. But Man City has won four consecutive seasons now, and I'm not sure they would want someone else to take the cup from them, nobody likes to be dethroned.
Also, Man City still have the potentials, and with what have been played, and the bar they've raised, I don't think any team is ready or prepared to challenge them because they'll also be training relentlessly.
They also have the top goal scorer (Halland with 7 goals in 3 games) in top 5 leagues in Europe. Halland is still young and active, ready to burn it all out to retain the trophy. So think about it , man city might win it again for the 5th season straight.

Working with a new coach, I think it's a very good start that Arne Slot can show with Liverpool. They can sweep all the matches that have been played in the Premier League. This is like answering our questions before the season started about Liverpool's game under the direction of their new coach. But what is still a question is whether they will be consistent enough or not with what they showed in the first 3 matches
Their competition with Manchester City is not easy, in the last few seasons they have always had difficulty competing. The problem is that they always slip towards the end of the season which ultimately makes them fail to win the title from Manchester City in the last 4 seasons. This season they must be able to show that they can do it even with a new coach.
