Liverpool FC in second place, and the only red in England. Man City 9 points ahead. Of course liverpool is the better team and better chance to get closer to City. City might win the league however liverpool could give them more pressure. I'm willing to see liverpool making the big move. Otherwise Man City already is setting the standards and the rest follow.
The point is that Man City are unstoppable and show no signs of slowing down or starting to lose points. They are playing very solidly this year.
I think Liverpool were really the ones that would have the best conditions to face this Man City, but that doesn't seem to happen.
