I don't see City in a position of taking over the lead from Liverpool because no one knows when they will be back go form.
The gap difference between Manchester City and Liverpool is increasing everyweek. I don’t think Manchester City will be able to cover it up, and Pep Guardiola doesn’t even have a solution to the current Manchester City problem yet, so I am not even expecting their performance to improve soon. Arsenal has taken over Manchester City's second position, currently, Manchester City is in 5th position, which is really a bad one. I don’t think anyone will believe that Manchester City will be in their current position, I don’t think Manchester City will be able to win the Premier League title this season, all they should be fighting for is for them to end the season in the top 4.
