I also think that Liverpool will be Champions this year and not commit the same error twice in a row.Last year they were also leading up to six points ahead but they screwed up at some point so the lost the Championship.
I think they will do all they can to not repeat the same during this year.
I would lean on the side of according adulation to the brilliance of Man City rather than the word of Liverpool, if it could be called that. Liverpool maintained consistency for almost the whole of last season, and lost only once. Man City are not replicating their exploits of last season, which Liverpool, are playing at the same level, and look like the much better team.
