9 point difference is not really a big gap, but it will be a problem if Arsenal cannot perform consistently while Liverpool remains strong, so instead of closing the gap, it will become even further apart. Likewise with Man City, even though they are only 5 points behind Liverpool, but their performance has declined recently, so if they cannot quickly find a solution to the problems they face, then the gap will also widen. I have no idea how long Liverpool will remain consistent, but what is clear is that Liverpool is really strong with Arne Slot this season.

I agree with you that 9 point isn't a big gap, but they need to take some action before it gets tougher than this. I think, if we analyze this season so far, then making early conclusions won't even be necessary. Starting with Liverpool for example, we've known them to always starting the season well, but towards the end, their momentum decrease.The question then should be, is the same thing going to happen under this new manager?. Manchester city lost Rodri to injury, and we've seen them loss 4 games in a row for the very first time. Is that a sign that this season isn't theirs ?. Chelsea who just picked some crazy form this season has been doing well for themselves so far unlike other seasons, does that mean that they will secure a space in the top four or even win the title?.

And Arsenal who surprisingly has started the season very badly, which is unlike their previous seasons. Now that most of their players are back to the pitch, will they turn things around for themselves?, And besides, they're the only top side that has played against most of the top sides without lossing a game even with their bad performance. Manchester united also appointed a new manager who defeated Manchester city while he was still with his former club, does that means that United is ready to compete and climb back to the top?. Too many questions to be answered by those on the pitch. So, now that the international break is on hold till march, maybe we can now enjoy the premier league.
