Unstoppable Liverpool with Arne Slot
Liverpool have been in scintillating form since the start of the 2024-25 season, suffering just one defeat under the guidance of head coach Arne Slot. The Reds have racked up 21 wins and seven draws in 29 games, collecting an impressive 70 points. Their only setback came in a 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest at Anfield back in Matchweek 4.
Now sitting comfortably at the top of the table with 70 points, Liverpool have opened up a massive 15-point gap over second-placed Arsenal. Slot's side have scored 69 goals while conceding just 27, giving them a goals-against average of less than one per game — a stat that highlights their defensive solidity.
Liverpool’s latest victory came with a convincing 3-1 win over Bournemouth at Anfield. The Reds' dominance stems from a well-balanced squad that combines experienced heads with defensive discipline. Up front, Darwin Núñez, Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah, and Luis Díaz have been in electric form, contributing a combined total of 60 goals across all competitions.
Nottingham Forest continue to impress
Nottingham Forest have been one of the surprise packages of the season. Under Nuno Espírito Santo, Forest have collected 51 points from 15 wins, six draws, and seven losses — enough to place them third in the table. Forest made a statement this week by taking down Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City at the City Ground. In a game where Forest defended resolutely and looked to strike on the counter, they found the breakthrough in the 83rd minute through Callum Hudson-Odoi.
The 1-0 win not only secured a huge three points but also reinforced Forest's Champions League credentials for next season. Last week, Forest held Arsenal to a goalless draw, showing that they can compete with the Premier League’s elite. Nuno Espírito Santo’s men are proving to be a tough side to break down — a testament to their defensive organization and tactical discipline.
Manchester United and Arsenal share the spoils
Manchester United’s struggles under new manager Rúben Amorim continued as they settled for a 1-1 draw with Arsenal at Old Trafford. Amorim, who joined from Sporting Lisbon with a remarkable points-per-game record of 2.29 over 231 matches, has yet to find consistency with his young and injury-hit squad. Arsenal, meanwhile, have been hampered by injuries to key players, including Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, and Takehiro Tomiyasu. Despite a lacklustre attacking display, Arteta’s side managed to rescue a point thanks to a Declan Rice goal — but the Gunners now sit a daunting 15 points behind Liverpool.
