I am also optimistic that Man City can spring a surprise to kickstart their resurgence of course a lot of soccer analyst and pundits must have written them off based on their dip in form and streak of losses, of course a draw isn't bad for Man City though they might win the match and I don't expect Liverpool to be consistent in all their subsequent matches definitely they are going to drop points against even some mid table teams recall Nothingham Forest broke their unbeaten run so no team is unbearable, however Liverpool should not be overconfident that they had already secured their 3 points.
There is no any surprises left in the bad that Manchester City can present to any one right now, if not that they have had a good start of the season, the way they are playing right now they are just like one relegation team that crawl out of the Championship and it's finding it hard to blend in the Premier League, that's how they are right now. Even if they manage to make it back, there is high chance that they are going to flop again and the chance of going for Liverpool place will reduce even more.
If Liverpool wins them which is highly possible, they will sink further because the last time check when Manchester City were in good form, they didn't win Liverpool but draw them, what do yiu think will be their faith now that they are not in good place, they are going to suffer more here. If Liverpool takes away that 3 points from them, they will have 11 points margin which will take Manchester City 4 games to win and Liverpool has to lose that amount, at this point it's safe to say no Premeir League title for Guardiola this season.
