The problem for all the teams chasing Liverpool is that I don’t see the Premier League leaders having any real weaknesses at the moment.
Arne Slot’s side likely knocked Manchester City out of the title race by beating them at Anfield on Sunday, leaving them 11 points behind.
So if the defending champions are not going to catch Liverpool, who else can challenge them?
Arsenal are in a good situation at the moment, they now have Martin Odegaard fit. Bukayo Saka seems unstoppable with him back on the team and the relationship between those two is very exciting.
Chelsea also look strong, helped by the fact that Enzo Maresca plays against a different team in Europe and they are fresh for the weekends.
But Liverpool already have a huge advantage over both of them and, watching them, I’m not sure where they are going to make a mistake.
The Reds have been near perfect so far, in the Premier League and Champions League, and look authentic in every aspect.
Like many people, I wondered how Slot could follow Jurgen Klopp when he arrived in the summer, but he has been immensely impressive so far and it is already clear that his team will be very difficult to stop.
The Christmas period, when the games happen intensely and quickly, will be critical, but judging by the first four months of the season, his team has enough strength to cope.
