Liverpool are now back into the favourites for retaining their Premier league title, as they continue strong form on the run up to Christmas. It has seen them climb back up the table, but it still remains an open title race, with the likes of Manchester City, Tottenham and Chelsea also showing strong form. This on top of both Leicester City and Manchester United, it is turning into what is expected to be one of the best Premier league title races that we have seen in over a decade.
Liverpool were heavily beaten 7-2 away at Aston Villa in the early period the season, in what was one of the most surprising results in recent seasons. This instantly gave the impression that Liverpool were not the same force as we had seen last season, when they completely dominated the title race, and many expected them to do the same this campaign. Liverpool were then held to a 2-2 draw away at rivals Everton and this appeared they were showing some stuttering early season form, with Van Dijk also injured in the process. The record-breaking signing has been key to the improvement of Liverpool in recent seasons and helped lead them to the title last season. With him out injured, it saw the side drift in the betting for the league title and led many to believe that Liverpool could be in for a tough season ahead, certainly in comparison to last year. However, supporters did then pick up offers, such as those at newcustomeroffers.codes, in order to pick up these bigger odds available on Liverpool for the title.
However, they have now been much improved and picked up two consecutive 2-1 victories at home to Sheffield United and then West Ham. Liverpool then went into the all-important clash with Manchester City and were held to a 1-1 draw. Liverpool then took on Leicester City at Anfield, with the latter also pushing at the top of the table. It turned out to be a very one-sided match, with Liverpool winning 3-0 and shortening further for the title. They followed this up with a 1-1 draw against Brighton, before routing Wolves 4-0 at home. In between this period, Liverpool were also dominant in the Champions league and it is clear they have returned to form. This is all why we continue to see their odds shorten for the title and it is little surprise they are the favourites to defend their title. If they can continue to maintain this strong form, then they are going to take the world of beating.
