It's a good opportunity for Liverpool to get closer to City. The draw results when City meet shouthampton, at least made Liverpool cut the difference by 2 points. There is still 1 game left for liverpool (compared w/ City), if in this match Liverpool win again, then the difference in points will be closer to 51 for Liverpool, which means there is only 6 points gap. It makes sense that the competition for the title will be more interesting.
