This is really an opportunity for Liverpool to be able to make a bigger difference in points with Man City. So Liverpool cannot afford to lose points in the upcoming matches. And while hoping that Man City will continue to lose points in the next matches. If so, Liverpool will be able to stand more comfortably at the top of the rankings and start to dominate this season.
Currently Liverpool has a difference of 5 points with Man City and 9 points with Chelsea and Arsenal. And Liverpool still has the chance to get full points in the next match against Southampton. Meanwhile, Man City really has to fight quite hard to win because the opponent they will face is Tottenham. It's just that Man City will be the host. So I think Man City will not lose. The worst result for Man City may only be a draw in the upcoming match.
Liverpool will have to be more careful with Manchester City that can be their strongest and main competitor for Premier League title in this season. From current point differences, Manchester City are closest, not Arsenal or Chelsea, and in player quality as well as experience for title competition, they are the best, even better than Liverpool.
Liverpool currently have good advantage that can help them to move forward positively but each match needs to be considered as a final match with Liverpool. They can not feel too confident about their strength, because carelessness will cause dropped points and current advantage can turn to disadvantage after several bad matches.
