I don't think it's that easy, having a lot of money doesn't mean it's easy in everything that Man City has right now, it's already amazing with the expensive players they have, but they are still slumping, I think Man City hasn't fully found their best performance right now even though they just won 2 matches, but I think showing their quality like before is very difficult, because the main factor is not the players but Pep's strategy which is starting to decline or can be said with a strategy that is starting to die, many teams in the Premier League right now play one or two touches then create opportunities, but what Pep does is they play fully touch so that creating opportunities is very difficult because the position of the player is ready to defend, and I think the main factor that made Man City decline this season is because of Pep Guardiola.
Arsenal has not given up even though Liverpool is currently playing quite well and Liverpool has secured good points but in my opinion the journey in the EPL is not worthy of being called successful if it is not over because the EPL is very sharp, the lower teams can show something that is impossible to be possible and also the performance of the team is not yet known and in my opinion Liverpool should not be satisfied too soon because it will have fatal consequences later and I am quite sure the competition to win the EPL will still be presented until the end.
Pep improved tiki taka when he was in the Spanish league and had his players to exercise patience, but recently he's trying a fresh strategy that isn't working out for him because of low perfection. And it's already too late for him to fix the mess he made, Pep would have focussed on the strategic play he knew best, but wanted to try something new, according to Arteta you must have to be perfect in EPL.
However, the league is not over, but from the look of things a lot of players are having fatique and most of them can't play above expectations like they did in the starting of the season. Liverpool isn't relenting they're ever stronger, ready to tarnish any club that comes their way, Salah is doing a great job for them, and with the league title theirs he'd have a high chance of getting the Balon D'or best player male category. And it's a great reason for the reds to work harder till the end of the league.
