Liverpool are looking more and more like the obvious champions this season in the Premier League. While Manchester City can no longer do it and conceded a second consecutive defeat in the league (the fourth in a row, in all competitions), the Reds enjoyed themselves at home on Saturday evening. Opposed to an Aston Villa team which is marking time after a promising start to the season, Arne Slot’s men mastered their subject to finally logically win (2-0, 11th day).
Dominant in terms of ball possession (63% over the entire match), the locals took advantage of the success of the offensive duo Salah-Nunez to open the scoring in the twentieth minute of play, the first becoming a passer for the second. In front of the scoreboard, Liverpool never lost control and even ended up establishing their domination by finding the fault a second and final time thanks to the inevitable Mohamed Salah (84th).
Against Manchester City on December 1
After eleven contested days, Liverpool are more than ever in first place in the Premier League standings, now five points ahead of Manchester City. A chasm so much
Reds seem superior to their pursuers. If everything can still change and success return to the ranks of
Skyblues Mancunian, Liverpool seem well on their way to bidding for a new league title. Because in addition to being leader and having won nine of their first ten matches, the Liverpuldiens also have the best defense in England.
Once the international break is over, the Mersey club will have some big challenges to face. After a shock against Real Madrid on the fifth day of the Champions League, they will face Manchester City on December 1 (5 p.m., 13th day of the PL). Perhaps everything will definitely be decided that day.
