Well, if for example Liverpool can sweep the next two matches, especially with a landslide score. It is very likely that Liverpool will return to the top position in the Premier League. The reason is that currently it is easier for Liverpool to take the top position from Arsenal than Manchester City. Because Liverpool have the same points as Arsenal and only lose in goal productivity.
Liverpool will be without Moh Salah. He's got a hamstring, I even read that he won't be included in this month's internationals. Even Liverpool continue to communicate with Egypt so that they do not include Salah. At first Egypt wanted to keep calling Salah, but they softened not to take him. Egypt will play New Zealand. But it seems that it doesn't matter, I think they will still be favourites to win. They need to get 3 points every game for them to stay on track for the EPL champions.
Even without Moh Salah's presence, I hope Liverpool can play a good game and win the match. Indeed, I understand that Moh Salah is one of the most influential players in the squad, but it shouldn't be much of a regret when he can't play, because they can still rely on players. Dependence on one player actually makes things not better, especially when the player you rely on can't play due to injury and so on.
Liverpool are a big team, they have quality players on the bench, they can use them when one of their main players can't play. Rotation actually has to be done by the team under all circumstances, so when they get into a bad situation, they just have to apply what they have been doing. This should be a simple thing, but some teams find it difficult to do. Sometimes they only rely on a few players, and when those players can't be played they will play badly.
Competition at the top for the championship title is getting tighter now, if they fail in just one match they will be left behind by other teams.
