Jürgen Klopp's squad takes the lead, Aston Villa hits Arsenal and Chelsea continues to fall in free fall in the standings.

After an interesting week in the 2023-24 Premier League, where the highest category of English football played a double matchday and great results were achieved in the different stages of the United Kingdom, it is time to review those teams that draw powerful attention for the campaign they are running, like Liverpool and Aston Villa.

On the one hand, those led by Jürgen Klopp are the new leaders, ahead of clubs like Arsenal and Manchester City, playing quite interesting football that allows them to be excited about competing for the title again and returning to the UEFA Champions League. Led by Mohamed Salah, Luis Díaz and Tren Alexander-Arnold, the Reds beat Sheffield United and Crystal Palace .

It should be noted that the previous weekend, those from Anfield also had a bit of a problem with Fulham, whom they beat 4-3 in a complete goal fair, but now they will face the English classic against Manchester United on matchday 17 and very likely They will arrive as the leaders; Arsenal will play Brighton and Aston Villa will play Brentford in the previous matches.

Precisely, in relation to the surprise of the current season, Unai Emery's Villains settled in third position, after defeating the Citizens and Gunners. Led by elements like 'Dibu' Martínez, Douglas Luiz, John McGinn and Ollie Watkins, the Birmingham institution has a better present than teams like Tottenham, Newcastle or Chelsea.

Pochettino sinks and Howe is disoriented

The technical director of the Blues cannot find the way to make the Pride of London rebound in the standings and after beating Brighton, they combined two defeats against the Red Devils and Everton; those at Stamford Bridge are tenth seconds. On the other hand, Newcastle is also somewhat disoriented, because although they beat United, they fell to Everton and Tottenham.
