Eight points instead, their closest rivals are Leicester City and Chelsea, both on 26 points. Manchester City are fourth on 25 points, while Liverpool lead the pack with 34 points.
They're are comfortable for now, but a lead can be blown within a couple of weeks, so nothing is decided as far as the title is concerned just yet.
Chelsea is doing really serious business in this season and unfortunate City is going to face them in the next match after the defeat of yesterday. I am expecting an exciting match in that match and even Chelsea may manage a win or even a draw. If this happens then City will have a break in their confidence.
We may see a good contest for 2nd position in this season.
