Arne Slot has succeeded in making Liverpool a team or opponent that is scary for opposing teams this season, as well as Manchester City last season which in my opinion is currently a team that is very easy to beat by any opposing team because the era where Manchester City became a scary team is over and no team always runs smoothly and there will definitely be a time.
And even though Manchester City could change, I don't think they will be able to catch up with Liverpool who are currently calm at the top of the standings. Because a difference of 8 points is not an easy thing to catch up with and moreover Liverpool will not let that happen because Liverpool will defend every match to produce good results, and in the 13th week match Liverpool will host Manchester City and that is a better advantage for the host considering Manchester City's current performance is not good which will be utilized by Arne Slot.
Manchester City in the 5th position is definitely a surprise. And I don't think anybody expected Liverpool to actually be ahead by nine points compared to the second team on the table. Especially as they got a new coach. The match between Manchester City and Liverpool was also pretty unexpected. It was like Liverpool dominated the whole match. Did not give any chance to Manchester City at all. The way Liverpool has been playing has definitely impressed a lot of people, including me. I think if they are able to keep this up, and they do not take it easy thinking that they are already nine points ahead of everyone else and they can afford to take it easy, they are going to win the English Premier League title. But you never know, we have seen funnier things happen in football. But Liverpool will have to screw up big time if they are actually not able to win the English Premier League title from this situation.
