Liverpool's commanding 2-0 win over Manchester City has propelled them nine points clear at the Premier League summit, solidifying their title ambitions.
Under new manager Arne Slot, Liverpool have won 11 of 13 league games, achieving the best start by a debut Premier League manager, equaling Guus Hiddinkâs record of 34 points in 2008-09.
While Arsenal and Chelsea trail nine points behind in second place, Manchester City's defeat has dropped them to fifth, sparking concerns about their top-four prospects.
Despite City's strong post-Christmas record in recent years, pundits like Jamie Carragher label their form a "mini-crisis."
An Opta supercomputer gives Liverpool an 85.1% title chance. However, Slot and players remain cautious, emphasizing the long season ahead and the need to sustain form to secure silverware.
