If Manchester City can win this match Manchester City will continue to be at the top of the standings and Liverpool will not succeed in taking over first place.
Do you have the feeling that Liverpool will take the first place this season? I mean they might take it temporarily but for how long? I don't find them very stable although they improved a lot comparing to the previous seasons.
In today's game, Manchester City weren't able to win and a draw between these two top teams seem to be logical. That will be a good opportunity for the other 3 teams behind them to get closer or even top them. I am talking mainly about gunners which have a game against Brentford today and are expected to win.
