When is it too soon to say the title race is already leaning in one direction?

It’s a very modern trait to start judging the season after only two games, but when you consider the Premier League was won by just one point in 2022 and 2019, and that on both occasions Liverpool lost out to Manchester City, a dismissal for striker Darwin Nunez and a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace may already have given us a glimpse of the final table.
