Manchester City and Liverpool only have difference of one point and indeed this match is form of competition for the top of the standings which is currently still occupied by Manchester City and when Manchester City manages to win the match they will be even further ahead in terms points.
But looking at how the two teams have competed so far this season there is possibility of draw and if there is win for one of the teams then the win will only be by narrow score like difference of just one goal.
The match will take place tomorrow and until now I am still hesitant to choose who is the favorite because match with two strong teams like this is very difficult to predict with more certainty.

So the bookmakers have a favorite, it is Manchester City with odds of x1.75 to win. A Liverpool win is currently at x4.2, so the difference is very big, which is of course also due to the fact that Cioty is playing at home. If I look at the last matches of both teams, then I would almost say that Liverpool is better, although they recently lost 3:2 against Toulouse.

This match is a home match for Manchester City and currently they are at the top of the standings so it is natural that Manchester City is made the favorite with superior odds, but based on the last match it is not Liverpool who are better but Manchester City who are in improving condition.
Just look at the last few weeks they couldn't occupy the top of the standings but thanks to the last few matches resulting in wins they were able to occupy the top position.
The difference between the two is only one point and this is the match that everyone has been waiting for.

If Chelsea against all odds could secure a well deserve draw against Man City I don't think Newcastle would pose any the threat to the team, though not yet at their best but they usually play well against top teams, this season they remain unbeaten against top teams like Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal and Tottenham therefore the best result Newcastle would get is to play a draw, the Toons hasn't been very consistent and impressive this season they controversial and narrowly defeated Arsenal and got beaten by Bournemouth in their last match so the team is not too formidable enough to cause any problem for Chelsea my prediction is Newcastle 1 Chelsea 1

Don't be too exaggerated in saying that Chelsea can be superior, if you only judge based on the draw against Manchester City then I will emphasize that currently Manchester City has players who are absent so it is natural that the draw belongs to Chelsea.
Moreover, Manchester City prepared more against Liverpool and it seemed they did not take Chelsea seriously in that match.
And in my personal opinion, there will be quite lot of pressure and difficulties that Chelsea will have to face in this match against Newcastle.
