Obligatory, clearly they must win. It makes absolutely no sense for Manchester City to lose so much in a row, this is never normal for them. Something is wrong, but maybe it will be fixed even though it is difficult. But if Manchester City loses that match, then the title will have to be forgotten this season. It is difficult to catch Liverpool if the points gap has become 11 points, while if it is 5 points it is still very possible.
True, 5 points still seems to be a fixable situation, on the other hand in such a competitive championship it would be logical if other teams also had a chance to be champions, and City have not given anyone such a chance in recent years. But if Liverpool can go through the whole season like this, then even a few defeats will not hurt them, and so far Liverpool are looking very good.
The road to winning the Premier League title has been relatively easy for Liverpool this season. Liverpool's main rivals were Arsenal and Manchester City. Although Arsenal performed well in the first few matches of the season, Arsenal's performance has been erratic since then. And now Arsenal has fallen far behind in the title race.
Manchester City has lost consecutively in the last three matches. And at the moment, Manchester City is 8 points behind Liverpool. Reducing this point gap will be much more difficult for Manchester City. First, City's performance is weak. Second, Liverpool is performing brilliantly in every match. The possibility of Liverpool losing 8 points in the upcoming matches is very low.
