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.
It looks like it will be difficult for Liverpool FC to approach Manchester City if the total distance of points is 9 because Liverpool FC needs to always win and Manchester City have to lose three times or draw three times.
But if we look at the quality of Manchester City at this time, it seems that it is less likely to happen to Manchester City.
