You are missing the important point where I said they also have a game in hand. I would rather call it a 2 point gap at this point since they're almost at full strength and that's not a lot to catch up to. Just one unexpected loss from Liverpool and we may see a change in leaderboard.
now the point gap between Liverpool and Manchester City is 5 points. although Manchester City still has 1 more match compared to Liverpool. if 1 match that has not been played is able to win, it can only be called a 2 point gap.
So it is likely that the competition for champions will be tight until the end of the season.
This season Liverpool have rediscovered their rhythm of play, although it is not yet perfect, but at least Klopp is starting to find chemistry between the players so that the competition to win the EPL trophy is becoming more convincing. However, Manchester City is one of the best teams in the EPL which always sets high targets every season.
Manchester City is likely to cut the gap to just two points. The return of Kevin De Bruyne to the starting
I really hope that the competition in the EPL this season can be tight until the end of the season. Arsenal and Tottenham must also be able to continue to perform well to stick closely to Liverpool and Manchester City at the top of the standings.
