Liverpool extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table with a 2-0 win over Aston Villa on Saturday.
Liverpool are currently five points clear of defending champions Manchester City. There is no doubt that they will be competing for the Premier League title this season, and it remains to be seen whether they can go all the way.
The Reds have been extremely consistent under their new manager, and they have been formidable at both ends of the pitch. Meanwhile, Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister has now admitted that he is surprised with the way the team has performed this season.
The Argentine international midfielder revealed that he did not expect Liverpool would be in a position to win the Premier League title at the start of the season. However, they are in a good position right now, and it will be interesting to see if they can build on their impressive start to the season and pull further clear of their title rivals.
The Liverpool midfielder told TNT Sports via Daily Mirror, “Yes, of course. If you are top of the league, five points ahead, then it means something. But, as I said, I think we have to go step by step. If you’d asked me before the season started, I wouldn’t say that we were candidates, but now it looks like it. So we’re going to keep working and try to get better.”
Manchester City and Arsenal are struggling
Manchester City have lost four matches in a row across all competitions, and they are completely lacking in confidence and momentum. It will be interesting to see if they can bounce back strongly. Other pundits have heavily backed them for the title.
Arsenal are in a similar position, and they have dropped quite a few points in their recent outings. Both teams are capable of going on a winning run, and it remains to be seen whether they can bounce back in the coming weeks.
With just 11 games into the league campaign, it is hard to predict who will win the league title. However, there is no doubt that Liverpool will certainly fancy their chances now. It will be interesting to see if they can remain consistent with their performances and continue to pick up impressive results in the coming months.
