I saw all your predictions and there were nervy moments for me because I had a max bet on City and they looked like they would end the game in a disappointing draw.
Liverpool - 57 points
Man city - 56 points.
I have seen this movie before
Well, whe your money is on it, themojntung pressure and the disappointment that follows doesn't mean much for an encouragement, you could almost count it that, hard luck is out to get them but, Manchester City is the sort of team that you can always rely on for a few minutes to stoppage time miracle in this type of game. Especially with them playing from a home side and they got a draw from there earlier game with Chelsea. Of course they understand what's at stake, a chance to creep more closer to the top of the league table and Pep wasn't going to let that slide by losing against Brentford. They were sure to keep having a go at them until they get there break. I ry thought they would have won straight from the first half.Liverpool - 57 points

That's a good point when we think about it like that. Tbh, I had high conviction for City before the game (I mean they won Brentford comfortably at Brentford's Gtech stadium just 2 weeks ago). So I expected a high scoring, comfortable game. But there was no goal until the 70th minute. Of course I'd feel nervy but City came through. It's the same conviction I've had for City in recent times like their game with Everton where they won 2-0.
Liverpool's hold of the top position looks shaky at the moment and the reason is the injuries you mentioned. They have less tournaments to compete so I guess that helps them too. I still think City has a better squad depth than LFC but we'll see how this goes. Maybe we'll see the gap to widen in the next ten games.
Why did you leave Arsenal out? Or you aren't convicted about their recent high flying performances? They did blast through Liverpool, dunked West ham hard and passed the same demolition to Burnley last weekend.
But I do think that Liverpool is committed to fighting for the league title this season. If anything, it's Klopp's farewell gift.
