Liverpool are definitive champions-elect

At the top of the Premier League, a pattern has emerged. Liverpool doing just enough to get the three points (and clean sheets) while around them, the so-called chasing pack drop points like its no man’s business.

This has been the theme since Gameweek 2 when Manchester City inexplicably dropped two points at home to Tottenham Hotspur.

The relegation waters are still very murky with a lot of teams struggling to put daylight between themselves and the drop zone.
