The league is still in it early days, so I wouldn't be looking too much into it because their are some top teams that can go on a winning streak once the reverse fixture start, and arsenal that may be the best team for now, injuries or even drop in form might be fall them, and things might change overnight, so I wouldn't be looking into the league table with seriousness for now.

This was how Liverpool won their first five games and people start speculating that they are going to run away with the title as they did last season, but they lost their next four games after that, which brought them to where they are now, so any team that want to fight for the title  when the reverse fixture has started should stay close to the top as much as possible, but looking into each teams position now is what I will not do

Yes you may be right to say this, because we are still early and the league is still very long there is a possibility for the current league leaders to lose and lose their seats in the near future because they have injured players or other problems that can reduce the performance of a team to compete, especially arsenal who always fails to take the championship, they may lose consistency again and again.

Liverpool being the simplest example, they won a perfect match but they also went on a losing streak that no one would have expected, so it is only natural that we think about the end of the season no one knows.

Instead, it's interesting to watch as we see teams pit their skills against each other and battle it out at the top of the table.

Everything seems right and clear, my concern from the table about asernal on top of the table is how firm they can maintain this at this early stage till the end of the season, because from past experiences it's always a case like this and others team comes behind, still take the league. I am not against their position on the table but how is this dream coming through because many force's are coming behind just as usual what is the hope this time will make a difference, that's why I believe your point is right.

[Stormisover]

Arsenal have always done this way, very well for a period, maintaining high performances and then dropping drastically and obviously failing to obtain the title.

It almost seems like a repeated scene, but who's to say it's going to be any different this time?
I want to give confidence to the work done so far, i understand that it is not easy to keep expectations and performance high, but we can confirm that they are trying, right?

Yes that has been their pattern but I hope that doesn't be their fate this time because it will be bad if it happens this time again, arsenal guys has performed really good and to me, they deserve to win the English premier League title this time, it has been victory upon victory, the have it all good this time but the thing is because of their previous history and how the do things, it will be very difficult for any football enthusiast that know about this things to be convinced that arsenal will maintain this performance until the league title is been handed over to them, many are skeptical about this, as for trying just as you said, we have seen that but I hope the keep it to the very last point of this season.

Hmm Arsenal to lift the English premiere league trophy this season? That's after they've won it before I can fully believe they've done it, because just as you've said it's not the first time we are seeing such storms from them then at the dying minute they start dropping point and form, or maybe the reverse maybe the case this time as they look more serious than before, but if we should judge by point, then I can say 7 points is not enough to decide the league winner, so they just need to keep winning till the last day else another team will do that for them.

Liverpool seems to be going through Storm but I think the storm is over just right after they defeat Aston villa, you know I was waiting for this match between them and real madrid before making conclusion because the victory over aston villa didn't gave enough prove but now it is obvious that liverpool is back to live the victory over real madrid is well deserved if not for the few opportunities that was missed I think they would have level the goal to 2 or more but the most important thing is they have succeeded in getting the 3 points. Looking forward to thier weekend match against manchester city, it is also going to be a tough game for liverpool because manchester city is still in thier best form, the question is can liverpool also secure this 3 points?

Liverpool haven't weathered the storm yet and it's only a matter of time before the situation goes back to how it was before. A few victories can motivate you but it doesn't change what it is.
They have to work harder and they can do it now since they have understood that they are a great team

[9ja Amaka]

Arsenal has never done this way. Last season, after 10 matches Arsenal was at 6th position, correct me if i am wrong. But it should be in that range of position. This season after 10 matches they are at the top of the table. For a team doing well, it is not wrong to give them their accolade. Arsenal is looking like a different team this season. I care is not taking they will win the treble. Imagine when they cant concede goals even in big matches, all they needed is a goal or two to seal the game off. Which team do you think can break their defense. Arsenal look better than previous years. One thing i am sure of is their substitute. They have more player in the bench, injury excuses is no longer an issue for them. Arteta as well is using the players very well. Any slight injury on any of them, he quickly subbed them off, not taking chance so the injury dont escalate.

[Localhostspeed]

If they don't make the mistake of underestimating Manchester City they have an excellent chance of winning it.

I see that both teams have good momentum right now. They both won their last two matches. But the home team belongs to Man City, so I think Man City will benefit more. It seems a bit difficult for Liverpool to repeat last season. Although I do think that statistically, I personally favor Liverpool. They have expensive midfielders and attackers. Meanwhile, after losing some key players, including De Bruyne, Man City has not been able to perform at their best. Their midfielders are still below Liverpool. I think this match will be very entertaining.

If a team skipped a point, lose more than 4 points in a season, my support for them to win the league dropped immediately except if the rest of the teams are not serious, also have huge number of losses and the said team is at the top. You can see the differences between Arsenal and Liverpool now is 3 loss, for that reason Liverpool need like 3 matches with 9 win to be ahead of Arsenal and it will will be ridiculous to say Arsenal will just lose 3 matches without a cause.

I may be able to vouch for Manchester City to lead as the season continue but I may not be able for Arsenal. If it's the gibberish game they have been playing since last 2 month, I'm not sure if there is something serious they can do about this. Arsenal need to grind more on there matches, take advantage of weaker teams and strong team, this will get them in bigger margin if the new teams want to get closer to them, if there is no losses they are going to win this time.

The direction of the storm is a little different this season, Arsenal performance is more complex compared to the last few seasons when they often ran out of gas towards the end of the season. Arsenal have just recorded a clean sheet in eight consecutive matches in different competitions. A solid defense like this, coupled with a midfield that is able to control the game and an attack line that is very consistent in scoring goals, makes it very difficult for other teams to beat Arsenal.
Maybe this time Arsenal will become the new champions in the EPL and end their long wait, although it is too early to predict who will win the title race, but from the depth of the team and always being consistent in performance, Arsenal is superior to other teams.

[verdinio]

But the next one against Man City will be a whole new challenge though, Mancity plays faster, they press harder, and they don?t give much space. Slot?s style will be tested because Pep?s teams love to stretch opponents and force mistakes. But with the way Liverpool are playing now and with new players like Isak adding something extra, they definitely have what it takes to stand toe to toe with Mancity but a win is still just speculation.

Arne Slot hasn't brought anything to Liverpool, he just played a good game and prepared a good match, that's all, it's clear that if he continues like this it will be a great thing and he will be able to make up for all the bad performances he is currently having.

[dollyamo]

Arsenal will surprise people in this premier League season if they continue to maintain their stand in the table, they are using long gap points to gap Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea base on their excellent performance, Liverpool don't have the strength in this season to repeat what happened last season because when Liverpool got to this stage Arsenal is in the premier League table, people knew that Liverpool will win the title and they won it last season, but for Arsenal to got to this stage, I think Arsenal will  win this title because they are well prepared to defeat any team to achieve this title .

Do you think Arsenal will be able to maintain their position? Knowing the team and how it has always done will have difficulty keeping performance high and maintaining when earned until now.
I also say that only fools don't change their minds, so in this case i want to convince myself that this time he will be able not to make the same mistake as always.
Could Liverpool recover and could do so quickly, in which case would anything change?

Their consistency and mentality are questionable, as these have been Arsenal's problems in recent seasons, despite their excellent team strength across all departments.
Perhaps the inconsistency and slump of several top Premier League teams could be a boon for Arsenal in their quest for the title, However I wouldn't be too quick to predict Arsenal winning the Premier League title this season, even though the odds are slightly higher than last season, The competition in the Premier League remains fierce until the end of the season.

[moneystery]

Don't you think that it's too early to that Arsenal will be the title winner. We haven't reached mid-season or the last quarter of the season when Arsenal poor performance do pop up. Until then, that's when one can judge based on the position that they'll be on the table. Seeing Arsenal on the first position does not freak me anymore.

It's true that it's still too early to conclude that Arsenal can win the title, as this isn't the first time they've had a strong start to the season, only to slump later... this has become a long-standing trend for Arsenal, so we were not surprised to see it.
So, to conclude whether Arsenal can truly win the title this season, we need to see their consistent performance until the end, especially how they fare against the big teams.
The closest match is against City, this will prove whether Arsenal can maintain their consistency. If they can win against City, it will be a significant improvement in their performance this season.

In Premier League, Manchester City have better form than Liverpool and they will have better chance to win in this big match. It's an advantage on the paper but the latest defeat of Real Madrid under Liverpool is an alarm for Manchester City. Being a stronger team, having a better form are not enough to surely win in a big match against a strong opponent like Liverpool.

Liverpool is getting their position back by improving their performance. And their recent win against Real Madrid really enhanced their credibility and their performance with great confidence. Manchester city is a good team and they have a good image in the league. Or maybe Manchester City is good in comparison with Liverpool. But I think the confidence and the dedication Liverpool owned right now will definitely help them in a great way.  And I observe all the predictions of this match like with the chances of winning of both of the teams equally or more likely Manchester City will manage to win this match. But I think Liverpool will win this match and they will resume their destructive behaviour and build up a strong team. I think it's the dedication towards the dreams or goals which leads towards the journey of success.

In premier league, not really huge difference performance between Manchester City and Liverpool regarding both team just remaining one point left on current standing. Both Manchester City and Liverpool already won 6 of 10 matches just positive side from Manchester City losses 3 matches with 1 draw and Liverpool have loss 4 matches. Both teams have the same opportunity for winning upcoming match and face each other to secure 2nd standings place.
Opportunity again for Liverpool if want return back to second standings if defeating Manchester City, if won't loss runner up position The Citizen must winning the match and getting draw not enough yet behind below position standings team remaining 1 and 2 points. Only Arsenal  getting secure at the top position behind 6 points remaining with Manchester City.

Of course Liverpool hasn't fully recovered from their slump, but beating a top-tier team like Real Madrid will certainly be a huge motivation and a good starting point for their match against Manchester City this weekend.

Typically, teams can bounce back and regain confidence after beating a strong team, and that's what we saw in their spirit against Real Madrid. They had plenty of chances to score, but Real Madrid's goalkeeper was on fire, preventing Liverpool from scoring a goal against them. I think Arne Slot will employ the same strategy against Manchester City, especially since this match is far more crucial than the one against Real Madrid, as it will directly impact their Premier League standings.

[Agbe]

From the way that, these two teams have played so far this season I don't see much difference in the way that these two teams has been playing so far this season. One point is what is separating these teams together so this match will be very crucial for each of these teams. Thank God that both teams impressed in the champions League by winning their respective games so going into this weekend matches both teams will be coming with much hopes and confidence knowing that a win is possible for any of them, trying to close in on Arsenal is the target of this game.

Until then, that's when one can judge based on the position that they'll be on the table. Seeing Arsenal on the first position does not freak me anymore.

I agree with you that it is too early to conclude that Arsenal will win the Premier League title this season, the season has just started, and staying at the top of the table does not guarantee that Arsenal will win the league. We've seen that for many seasons before, and they couldn't make it. We don't know if Arsenal can survive this season with these players because we are not at the middle or end of the season, when their performance usually falls.

If they don't make the mistake of underestimating Manchester City they have an excellent chance of winning it.

Why are Liverpool going to underestimate Manchester City and all their injured players are recovering from their injuries? It will be a difficult match for Liverpool, they must perform at their best to avoid conceding goals against City that they do not expect. I don't have too much trust in Liverpool, even if they can beat Real Madrid, but we will see what happens in the next game.

[rachael9385]

That's what everyone is concerned about, Arsenal has always failed to be consistent with their performance and even now that it seems like they have a high chance of winning the title this season no one can really be sure if that is going to be happen. If they can win their next 4 matches then I think that it is going to stamped for the season that they will win  the EPL title, they last time they won the title was 21 years ago they really need to put in effort now.

[Coyster]

Arne Slot hasn't brought anything to Liverpool, he just played a good game and prepared a good match, that's all, it's clear that if he continues like this it will be a great thing and he will be able to make up for all the bad performances he is currently having.

I do not really know what you mean by Arne Slot hasn't brought anything to Liverpool, he won the league last season and Liverpool is definitely going to compete for major titles this season. I know it has been a bumpy road in the last couple of weeks, but they are not a thousand places off first place, they are still close enough and are in the picture.

That said, the game at the weekend is a chance for either Slot or Pep to set down a marker that are ready to fight and compete for the EPL title. What a confidence boost it would be for whatever team wins that one.

[$weetne$$]

If they don't make the mistake of underestimating Manchester City they have an excellent chance of winning it.

I see that both teams have good momentum right now. They both won their last two matches. But the home team belongs to Man City, so I think Man City will benefit more. It seems a bit difficult for Liverpool to repeat last season. Although I do think that statistically, I personally favor Liverpool. They have expensive midfielders and attackers. Meanwhile, after losing some key players, including De Bruyne, Man City has not been able to perform at their best. Their midfielders are still below Liverpool. I think this match will be very entertaining.

Truly in recent games Liverpool has appeared like they are having some set backs and possibly struggling to win but in most cases they have won a good number of game even with the supposed slight weakness perceived with them, but that is not enough to want to look on them any less, they will surprise you at the least expected time, see them in the champions league, I want to believe Madrid never saw that coming and Manchester City has to be really careful not to be another Madrid, even if it happens to be a goal difference, a win will be considered a win.

Yes, I agree with you. Arsenal have been playing very well so far. They have committed to their performance. But now no one can be sure because, no one can say when what happens in football. Now they have to play 4 matches. If they get psychologically trapped in any match, then Arsenal can fall behind. If they play well consistently and one match is played badly, then the consistency of the players' performance will be lost.

Again, it may happen that Arsenal competes very well with giant teams and draws with small teams, then Arsenal's morale will be lost. As a result, they may lose important matches. So it will not be possible to talk about Arsenal's victory for sure yet.

And you can not even predict Liverpool any more because they will do well and the next thing you see them losing games especially when it comes to the champions league at least they won there game against Aston villa and they will be facing Manchester city next that is just hilarious and no matter how they want to play i still have a better trust in arsenal winning the premier league this season because we have been very consistent and that is the most important thing because that way we are going to be able to gather enough point that even way they league becomes hotter we have enough point to actually cover.

I can not wait to see how Liverpool intends to escape from the net of Manchester City because Manchester will go hard on them, which is expected from the city, because of the condition Liverpool is in they don't have a chance of winning.
