3 reasons why Liverpool will win the Premier League this season

With over a month since the Premier League kicked off, The Reds are on a streak in terms of making it 4 wins in a row. A world-class attacking lineup, an intelligent midfield, and a subtle defense, Jurgen Klopp's ferocious side seems to have it all in place.

However, with the season being extremely long and exhausting, and the UEFA Champions League about to take off, will The Reds really be able to capitalise in terms of grabbing the EPL title for the very first time? Given that Klopp's cards are in his very hands, and that his team can successfully avoid the fear of injuries and bookings, the English side could grab the title.

Their fixture against Spurs this very day can determine their future in terms of table standings and goal differences. With Spurs facing their first defeat against Watford in their very last fixture, Pochettino won't really be looking forward to another defeat. But with Klopp's newly formed expertise, and his chieftains in the form of Salah, Mane, and Firmino, they do have the upper hand, as they can undoubtedly make it five wins in a row.

Here are three reasons why Liverpool could win the Premier League.

#1 The defense

The 'most expensive defender' is surely an asset for Liverpool

Be it the tall Dutch powerhouse in the form of Virgil Van Dijk, or be it the much younger Joe Gomez, Liverpool's defense has been a topic of discussion for most of the teams in the Premier League, as none have able to truly breach it and win a game against The Reds.

By playing an unusual method of building from the back, the two center backs have been able to deny waves after waves of the opposition offense, and eventually be the building blocks for the central play-making system.

In addition, the inclusion of the two young full-backs, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson has had an impact on their style of play. With Robertson being extremely quick and resilient in terms of building the plays for the Liverpool side, he is usually seen as a left back who can build the play for his team and can be relied upon.

With an assist to Sadio Mane in the clash against Leicester, Robertson proved that he is easily one of the best left-backs in the league.

Alexander-Arnold seems to be a calm and composed aggressor, the 19 year old has been a phenomenon for his squad, providing top quality crosses, and manhandling the opposition's left flank, Alexander-Arnold is a true world-class athlete.

#2 The midfield

The Guinean international is the 'core' of the Liverpool midfield

The summer signings for Liverpool this season has been all about the midfield. With Naby Keita taking the legendary number 8 shirt, once worn by none other than the maestro Steven Gerrard, the Liverpool midfield has shifted into a more balanced and consistent equilibrium.

Georginio Wijnaldum's transition into a defensive midfielder has been one of the key reasons for the Liverpool midfield being extremely dominant this season.

With James Milner who is seen to be an aggressor, either acting as a number 10 or a false 9, Liverpool is doing something completely different this season - allowing the players to explore their own capabilities.

We experienced the inclusion of Jordan Henderson in The Reds' clash against Leicester City, which was another gamble put forward by Klopp, but what really made the difference for the Liverpool side was the fact that the combination of Wijnaldum, Milner, and Keita is something that has bought fluidity and flexibility into the Liverpool midfield.

By adapting the natural '3' in the midfield, they tend to play a more box to box and holding midfielder consistency, allowing the attackers do their jobs well.

#3 The offense

The Senegalese 'ace' has been a phenomenon.

None are going to deny that the real reason why Liverpool has been able to reach such great heights in this season and last is the fact that their front three has been a true reflection of a world-class trio. With 91 goals shared between the three forwards, The Reds have made the best use of the empty spaces.

With Sadio Mane being the centerpiece of the Liverpool attack this very season, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah are seen to develop the inter-plays that are required to score the goals against the opposition.

A major throwback to last year's Champion's League clash against Manchester City is a good example of how The Reds' attack can face a tough competition.

With the potential to become one of the best and most feared sides in the world, Liverpool has surely given the world a reason to believe. Their progress this very season could be a deciding factor, as the consistency that Jurgen Klopp has to offer could really become a major reason for winning the league title for the very first time.

They have waited long enough, coming close to the title isn't going to cut it for this Liverpool side, they must win the league title this time around.
