A 1 point difference between the top 3 teams is a good drama this season in the Premier League. I still expect Manchester City to win the title this season, but the next 5 matches will definitely be tough. The match schedule may be unfavorable, but I think they can have a great run.
Unfortunately, Man City had to meet other strong teams in consecutive matches. If you lose even once, then there is a big possibility of being left behind even more and the distance between the points increases. Moreover, looking at Man City's recent condition, it is sometimes/even often very worrying. So there is doubt whether Man City will be able to handle all these clubs in a row or not. Moreover, they also have to focus on the UCL match which certainly cannot be put aside.
At least, they have to win first against Man United. And because in the future, Liverpool, who are the main competitors in the standings, will be the opponents. And this is definitely very competitive to determine who is the winner, not only in this league but also in others.
