With the present stats, Liverpool is pulling alright, they are giving this season their best. But Man City has won four consecutive seasons now, and I'm not sure they would want someone else to take the cup from them, nobody likes to be dethroned.
Also, Man City still have the potentials, and with what have been played, and the bar they've raised, I don't think any team is ready or prepared to challenge them because they'll also be training relentlessly.
They also have the top goal scorer (Halland with 7 goals in 3 games) in top 5 leagues in Europe. Halland is still young and active, ready to burn it all out to retain the trophy. So think about it , man city might win it again for the 5th season straight.
Last season, many predicted that Arsenal would succeed in seizing the throne from Man City. But in the end, Man City still managed to maintain its throne at the top of the Premier League standings. Becoming champion for 4 consecutive seasons in a big league like the Premier League is truly extraordinary. And I don't remember any team that has done the same as Man city. So it looks like Man City is the first to do it in the Premier League. And it would be very surprising if he was able to win the title again this season. Which makes Man City create a new record. This season it could even be said that Man City are back with their more complete core players. Because Gundogan, who had left this team, has also returned to this team. So I feel that it will be very difficult for any team to stop Man City.
Liverpool they also started this season well. In fact, Liverpool hasn't conceded a single goal this season. They always win with a clean score. And I think that's extraordinary, considering that the opponents Liverpool faced at the start of this season were two strong teams such as Man United and Brentford. And one promotional team, namely Ipswich. Liverpool might be said to be lucky enough to immediately find a suitable coach to continue the squad that Klopp built.
