Manchester City have consistently performed well this season and are now at the top of the table. And they are about 11 points ahead. In the next few days, they will be able to concentrate on the Champions League. Even if they lose some points in the Premier League, their position in the points table will not change. Players will be able to play completely stress free. Liverpool's players, on the other hand, are now focused on the Champions League.
You are right, so for now the position of Man City is still quite safe and at least it will not worry too much about the position of the standings in the EFL. The big task is positions 2, 3, and 4 which they must continue to make their position more secure from the threat of other clubs. One of them is Man United which is only 1 point difference and it is quite disappointing if there is a shift in place again by West Ham.
