Only Liverpool managed to win as expected tonight. They deserve as a club that's on the right path in the premier league today. They are consistent and able to play impressively according to Slot's instructions. They were able to increase the distance between the city of Manchester. When we look at player statistics, several players like Mohammed Salah show up if he is the Liverpool legend, he arranged the counterattack before Darwin Nunez created the 1st goal, Salah was also able to double the score after utilizing the counterattack again when Diego Carlos' made a mistake.
Liverpool are not expected to be champions on premier league of this session, but after we look how consistant them to compete in all competitions, of course this will be an attention from other potential champions to do not underestimate them.
We underestimated Liverpool from the start of the season, due to their previous season performance. A lot of people did not consider Liverpool to be rivals for the title before the season began because they just brought in a new manager and would face severe problems adapting to the Premier League system. However, based on Liverpool's success in all competitions this season, they are capable of winning the Premier League title this season, after failing to do so under Klopp last season before leaving the league. I hope they don't get weak at the end of the season like they did the previous season.
Liverpool easily defeated Aston Villa, they have only lost one Premier League game and are currently leading the league with six points ahead of Manchester City. If Liverpool keeps winning, it will be hard for Manchester City to close the gap. If they can win the Premier League on Slot's debut, that will be very interesting.
Of course, Moh Salah proved against Aston Villa that he is a Liverpool legend, he has 10 goals and 10 assists in 17 games for Liverpool this season, his contract will expire at the end of the season, however, I am not sure if he will be interested in extending his contract because I heard rumors that Moh Salah will sign for the Saudi league after his contract with Liverpool expires at the end of the season. Slots should get Chiesa used to the league after the international break, in case Salah decides to leave at the end of the season.
