The season is 6 games old. Most leagues show a form guide during full seasons that cover approx 6-8 games.
So going by that alone Liverpool are merely the 4th most in form team. Add that to their usual finishes and 2nd favs is purely bookies knowing how well they will be backed by optimistic fans. So they are covering their backsides in case it happens.
It's all good beating arsenal and being unlucky drawing at Spurs. But a league table, much like a scorecard shows how many (points) not how they're accumlated. A fortunate draw for Spurs against pool is still worth 1 more than an unlucky defeat at Burnley.....
