Predicted Top 6 in the Premier League 17/18

Arsenal v Manchester City - Premier League
The Premier League Trophy

Liverpool

Predicted position: 2nd

Southampton v Liverpool - Premier League
Salah is possibly the best summer transfer

I wonder how Liverpool would be faring if not for Salah's presence. He has been such a great recruit for Jurgen Klopp's team this season, and he is one of the most prolific strikers in the Premier League. Liverpool lost Coutinho recently but as long as Salah remains their man, his scoring form can bring Liverpool great success.

Liverpool's season has been flawed with defensive problems. Welcoming Virgil van Djik has not brought in that much of an impact so far, but it remains to be seen whether they can improve their defence next season.

Scoring has not been an issue for the team who have scored 61 goals so far. Throughout the season, they faced a couple of hiccups especially when it was regarding the best defence line that should be played. If the team can hang on without conceding too many goals until the end of the season, it is likely that Liverpool can move further up the table.

With just two more matches involving the top six clubs, it is hard to see Liverpool dropping out of the top four and I believe this gives them an added advantage over Manchester United. Majority of the games left for Liverpool to play are against lower ranked teams, which should make it possible for Liverpool to gain all 3 points.

Consistency in the final run of games is what Klopp will require of his team from now on. They have had their slips, but I am certain that against the lower ranked teams, Liverpool can do their best, though they recently lost consecutive matches to relegeation-contenders, Swansea and West Brom.
