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.
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 closing stages of EPL this season will be highly competitive especially among this three clubs Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea, the runner up are closing the gap on the league leader thus there is no room for any flop or dropping of points, it's obviously Man City still has some tough fixtures ahead of them which might make or mar their title aspiration, though it likely they will win the league however I believe it's better to keep them on their toes till the end of the season thus approach each of their matches with outmost seriousness and up their game.
