Well I definitely wouldn't say they deserve it more lol. It's not enough to have a great offense. It's not even great in all games either, they had some embarrassing losses and draws, lots of draws. Plus, they had a terrible record against the top 6. Worse than Chelsea even.Sure they do. They don't have newly bought success from rich new owners, and their owners aren't complete twats. That pretty much covers all the rest of the top 6 apart from United. But I wouldn't be an English football fan if I didn't prefer Liverpool over United (not counting United/ Everton fans of course). Plus they have pretty much no fake/ plastic fans, which the other tops teams do. Its good to see.
Yeah, that's thanks to their defense. Still the least impressive state from the top 6 this season is Arsenal's 2018 away record, a shame they actually managed to pick up some points on the last day.
