The Premier League is an exciting football league in England and is known as the top tier of English football. It features 20 clubs battling it out, with a system that promotes some teams and relegates others based on their performance.

As we dive into the 2024/25 season, we've seen some surprising performances already! Clubs like Newcastle, Chelsea, and Arsenal started strong and looked like they could be key contenders. However, as the season progressed, some of these teams faced challenges, such as injuries, which impacted their ability to stay in the top four. This gave Liverpool a chance to shine, and they found themselves leading the table after match day 27 with an impressive 64 points.

But even with their fantastic form, Liverpool might face some hurdles in the race for the title. Here’s why:

1. A few of their star players, like Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold, have contracts that are nearing their end. If they can’t agree on new deals, it could impact the team’s performance. It’s rumoured that Alexander-Arnold has already made arrangements with Real Madrid for a four-year deal that would kick in after 

2. The competition is fierce! While Liverpool is currently on top, teams like Arsenal are still in the mix and ready to pounce. One slip-up could allow these rivals to close the gap, which could add extra pressure on Liverpool's squad.

It’s shaping up to be an exciting season, and anything can happen!
