There is obviously still a long way to go and a look at Liverpool and Arsenal’s remaining games does not suggest that either has a more favourable run, with so much of the season still to play.
Liverpool remain in a strong position despite the “mayhem” of their Merseyside derby draw against Everton, with the Reds closing in on just a second league title in 35 years in manager Arne Slot’s first season at Anfield.
There is still plenty of time for Arsenal to hunt Liverpool down, but the title race appears to be entering a decisive stretch of fixtures up until the March international break.
A calamitous campaign from reigning champions Manchester City looked to have opened the door for last year’s runners-up Arsenal, but the Gunners have endured a difficult season with injuries hitting Mikel Arteta’s squad hard.
What is clear, though, is that Liverpool’s fixtures up until the Carabao Cup final look key, with the leaders facing Aston Villa and Manchester City away from home and Newcastle at Anfield.
