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.
The game with a week off has us wondering if there will be some big buzz and some dangerous moves in the top 5 this time around. Liverpool is recovering, now Man City is soaring and doesn't want to be rivaled, always trying to make the distance above 10 points. In the top 3 and the top 4 are trying their luck where the 4th position has just been occupied by Manchester United. We would really expect a very tight and healthy competition between the big clubs.
It's a bit difficult to predict from now on because the unexpected result came suddenly like Man city yesterday no one expected them to only draw against Southampton
When I check Man city upcoming match they only have 3 big matches VS Tottenham, Man united and Liverpool others are weak teams but that's not a guarantee Man city will win we already saw an example in yesterday's match, that's why i see the competition is very open.
