It seems that Arsenal is getting all the attention in the media when discussing the team to challenge Manchester City for the title whilst Liverpool are going under the radar. This is probably because Arsenal finished a close second to Manchester City last season. But it must be remembered that Liverpool finished a point behind Manchester City two seasons ago with 92 points whilst challenging for the quadruple. Also, the current Liverpool squad contains many players from that season and some were part of the Premier League and Champions League winning sides. Klopp seems to have a greater prowess of taking a team close to/winning a title.
In addition, Liverpool have had more difficult fixtures this season, they have played four of the big six (+ Newcastle) away whereas Arsenal have only played two and are still yet to play Manchester City away.

Kind of I guess. We’ve heard a lot about City, for obvious reasons. Then we’ve heard about Spurs and Villa for punching above their weight.
We’ve heard quite a bit about Chelsea and United too, but for being shite.
You don’t really read much about Liverpool or Arsenal to be fair. Just ticking along.
As an Arsenal fan, most of us would probably tell you it’s the other way around - that Arsenal have gone a little under the radar. At least from my point of view, the conversation keeps being between City and Liverpool. Maybe it’s changed free this game week who knows
