However, Arsenal lost Saka, this is bad for them since Arsenal's performance completely depend on him.
I felt bad to see Saka leave the field yesterday, but I'm sure it’s just a minor injury, and he will be back after the international break.
After the draw match against Cheslea, Arteta's interview said that Saka and Rice didn't look good. This is quite difficult for Arsenal because again they have to be forced to replace their main players due to injury, especially Saka also recently made a comeback from injury, and this happened again. Based on data on transfermrkt, Saka will miss around 7 matches due to this leg injury, however, as a key player of Arsenal, this is very important especially since there are many important matches ahead.

However, seeing how Liverpool performs and is consistent on the field, they will remain a club that competes closely at the top of the standings until the end of the season.
But indeed, EPL is a very tight competition, even with the result of 1 match can really affect their rank position in the table. Look at the point gap between clubs number 3 - 9, it is really tight, the same 19 points and 18 points. This makes any club still have a chance to enter the top 5 in the next match. and there is still a chance for them to enter the top 5 races during this season.
