I think that Liverpool are stronger than Chelsea this season, so it shouldn't be seen as the only club that can take on City in the Premier League. Moreover, after the defeat, Chelsea let up Liverpool at the second place, and Liverpool played one game less than Chelsea. In any case, the only thing left for Chelsea is to fight for second place with Liverpool, maybe Tottenham will try to join these teams, but as we saw in the cup matches, Chelsea confidently beat Tottenham.
It's true, I hadn't remembered Liverpool. In the last game they played, they drew 2 goals.
Even so, Man City has an advance in scoring, which makes them more comfortable to face this game, with Liverpool, in April.
Liverpool, on the other hand, have to be more attentive, so as not to lose points and thus not be overtaken by the clubs that are right behind them.
