There are only 3 teams this season in the title race and that is Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea but I have Liverpool and Manchester City as favorites. I know Liverpool lose a lot of their players to the African Cup Of Nations and Manchester City do not I think Manchester City will pull ahead of Liverpool in this time that their players are away.
I agree that there will be only 3 teams seriously competing for the title. Man Utd are not going to be in the conversation when we get to the business end of the season. As you know I’m a big LFC fan, Salah & Mane will actually only miss 2 PL games during the African Nations. There are a couple of FA Cup rounds during that period so it’s not so bad. Keita will be going too but I don’t really worry about him missing.
