The Premier League has ignited into life this season, with Liverpool, under the astute guidance of Arne Slot, surging to the top of the table. In this week’s Hit the Target podcast, we assessed the Premier League’s fiery start!

In a surprising turn of events, Manchester City, the perennial title contenders, have encountered a rare dip in form. Pep Guardiola’s side, accustomed to dominating the league, find themselves trailing Liverpool. As the manager himself hinted, a new champion might be on the horizon.

As the international break draws to a close, the Premier League promises to return with even greater intensity. With Liverpool setting the pace and City striving to regain their momentum, the race for the title is far from over!
