I think a difference of 1 point will not prevent Manchester City from winning the title this season and even though other strong teams such as Liverpool and Arsenal are above them, it is only a matter of time before these two teams experience a deadlock. I'm sure Pep Guardiola still has magic in his players and all they need to do is keep winning. It will be more difficult to defend the title and they don't want that to happen. The title competition in the EPL always presents interesting things and maybe that's what makes this league not feel boring.
