Early days I know but Liverpool and City are looking a class above all the other teams again this season. Does anybody fear our Invincible's achievement may be under pressure.

Think Liverpool will almost make it, then lose around about the beginning of May

Both City and Pool are better at scoring goals than that Arsenal side. Because both emphasise attack moreso than that Arsenal side. That is the very reason they've repeatedly failed to go unbeaten and will continue to do so.
Think of going unbeaten as a "Fit for purpose" feat. Both teams overwhelming attacking emphasis, makes it damned near impossible that they won't lose one game somewhere along the line.
The invincibles could be as formidable defensively as they were offensively. Something neither pool nor city can even begin to claim. They may be better sides in some respects, however that doesn't make them better suited to task of being invincible.

You say they can't claim to be as formidable defensively as the Invincibles yet they both conceded fewer goals last season. Liverpool only lost one game and it was to the rivals who won a domestic treble which basically decided the title race. Arsenal never had that level of competition in that season and of course you don't go unbeaten a whole season without luck along the way.
So it's a unique achievement but honestly I don't know if I'd have them in a top 5 of best PL teams ever based on seasons.

I’m not sure there is a single Liverpool fan out there who would not trade a 97 point 2nd place season for an unbeaten 90 point 1st place season

Well they won the CL in the end so they wouldn't be trading that season.

Liverpool fans wouldn't trade a CL for a PL? Don't be a fool.

You can definitely make a case for this City team being the greatest in PL history (I think they are tbh) but making a case for a team that has never won the league is ridiculous 😑

I bet you they wouldn't trade last season with Arsenal's season, yes.

Well a few might, but majority would stick with what they did last season I reckon.

They won the CL last season. 99% of Liverpool fans want the league. Doesn't even matter if it's unbeaten.
