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.
The three clubs in front of Man City are quite troublesome. Not only that, currently Manchester United, Liverpool, and Tottenham are clubs that will greatly complicate Man City's smooth journey. Even though on paper, Man City is still the favorite. It's just that on the field everything seems to be unpredictable. The game against Southampton made me a little hard to believe that Man City's performance was so unclear. Being pressed many times in the first half was enough to overwhelm the mentality of City defenders.
