Liverpool have taken a healthy nine-point lead over Arsenal and Chelsea at the top of the Premier League after 13 games.
The Reds are looking unstoppable after defeating Manchester City 2-0 at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.
Liverpool have won 11 out of 13 games in the Premier League and lost only once.
This is more than a dream start under Arne Slot, and the Reds manager admitted that he didn’t believe they would be in this position.
The Liverpool players are not getting carried away, and neither is Slot/
Sky Sports have shared interesting data today. In Premier League history, every team that has taken a lead of six points or more after 13 games have gone on to win the league.
Manchester United took a massive 11-point lead at the top in 1993/94, while Manchester City (2017/18) and Liverpool (2019/20) both took an eight-point lead at this stage.
Going by the trend, Liverpool should win the league, and the data should excite the fan base.
Pundits were sceptical about Liverpool’s title chances in October as they hadn’t faced any top teams until that point.
Since then, they have beaten Chelsea, Aston Villa, Brighton & Hove Albion and City and drawn Arsenal.
They have also picked up two wins in the Champions League, including a 2-0 victory over Real Madrid.
Harvey Elliott got a few minutes of action against City after a long injury lay-off. Alisson and Diogo Jota will return to the squad shortly, while Federico Chiesa is also expected to be back soon.
This means Slot can rotate his squad properly, and Liverpool could get even better.
Arsenal and City are capable of going on a long winning run, but what should worry them is that Liverpool are showing no signs of weakness.
