Yes, there are still 28 match left, haha this is more than enough for Manchester City to have an advantage in terms of points and there are several match that can provide an opportunity to meet Liverpool and beat them.
Everyone should be able to realize that this decline occurred because of the player crisis and there is another opportunity in the future to fix it, this is not Pep fault and he has worked very well, it should always be believed in him that in the future everything can be handled and Manchester City can get back on the right track.

It is not the coach's fault because Pep Guardiola has clearly given his best for Manchester City, both this season and last season. But the problem is Liverpool who have also developed more with their new coach so it will be very feared that Manchester City will not be able to beat them when they meet again this season. Because as I see that Liverpool is also very determined to be able to win the Premier League trophy again this season because last season Liverpool failed to make it happen when they were still coached by Jurgen Klopp.

If I'm not mistaken last season City also experienced a decline, but in the end they were able to finish their matches well and defend the League title for the umpteenth time. this season, which is in the spotlight because City experienced 4 consecutive defeats across competitions. for me it is natural for a team's performance to go up and down, and that can also apply to any strong team, especially since several City players had to miss several matches due to injury. plus, at the same time several City players did not play as they should. I'm sure Pep Guardiola doesn't like his team's performance, we can assume that Pep will push his team's spirit and mentality back on the right track. so, I have to say that it's not always the coach who is wrong when his team plays underperform. it's just that, because the coach is the person in charge, it's natural that the coach is often in the spotlight because he is the person most responsible for the poor results of his team. btw, there are some new rumors that I read that Grealish, Stones, and several other players have reportedly recovered and returned to training with this team. however, I don't know for sure the truth of this rumor. if true, then Pep can at least improve the quality of his team for the match they will play.

In the Liverpool camp, the Reds are already on the right track. based on my understanding, Liverpool has not experienced many changes. I mean, Arne Slot is just continuing something that Jurgen Klopp has built before. uniquely, they are currently at the top of the standings with a 5-point advantage over City, of course Arne Slot wants his team to continue to keep their distance from their rivals. but it's not easy, last season Liverpool was at the top of the standings. unfortunately, one thing and another they slipped. the Liverpool vs City match will be very interesting, because both teams will be aiming for victory in order to get full points. besides, the Premier League still has many matches even half of the season is not over. which means, the competition may be even tighter in the following weeks.
