Liverpool's victory over Man City helped The Kop widen the gap with Arsenal to 11 points. Although Arne Slot's team played one more game than their opponents, the situation of the tournament at this time is considered to be at a disadvantage.
Liverpool are in the most intense period of the season but still did not lose, even beating Man City at the Etihad. Meanwhile, Arsenal are playing at the Emirates but still cannot beat West Ham who are struggling in the bottom half of the rankings.
"Everything is really over. Man City have played very well in recent years, but when we look at Liverpool at the moment, we have seen the image of the new champion" - Gary Neville shared on Sky Sports.
" Defeating Man City at the Etihad is the strongest statement of a team's championship ambition," Jamie Carragher shared.
Liverpool are flying high and Man City have stopped thinking about defending their title for a long time. Currently, they are 20 points behind Liverpool in the rankings. The last time The Citizens were given such a big gap by the top team was in July 2020.
Liverpool have played five consecutive Premier League games in just 15 days. They have completed four of those with unbeaten results, with two wins against Wolves and Man City.
It was thought that this tourmalet would defeat Arne Slot and his students, but The Kop proved the opposite. They are very confident to win their 20th national championship title.
"In other competitions, leading a group like this would be very comfortable but not in the Premier League. To declare that you can win the tournament, everyone needs to do something different" - Arne Slot shared.
"We need another title. They are all big stars and really want that.
Hopefully we can stay calm as the pressure increases. Liverpool will try to win every match" - Mohamed Salah shared.
Liverpool are holding a much bigger advantage over Arsenal when the match against Man City ended. They have just one game left against Newcastle in February and one game against Southampton in March in the Premier League. The Kop will focus on the League Cup final and the Champions League round of 16 against PSG. In March, Arne Slot's team only had to play 4 matches in 3 arenas.
Then, from now until the end of the Premier League season, Liverpool's biggest challenge will only be a direct match against Arsenal at Anfield on May 10. The "Red Brigade" schedule can only intertwine with the Champions League matches, so it is not too tense.
After winning the Premier League in 2020, this is the first time Liverpool have felt "alone in a horse" in the title race. If there are no major incidents, Liverpool will become the greatest English team at the end of the season.
