It's an incredible title race. Both City and Liverpool set the finish the season on 90+ points. Even possibly 98 and 97 points respectively.
I just get the feeling that each team is driving the other on. Liverpool win. Then City respond by winning. City win, then Liverpool respond by winning. Which is effectively what has happened over the last few months.
Neither team letting up. Neither team giving the other any breathing space. And as I write this, the onus is on City to win their game in hand against Burnley tomorrow. Anything less than a win and it puts the title in Liverpool's hands with only two games to go.
Liverpool posters on here last month talked about City's nightmare fixture list, and about how this could be a downfall for them in terms of the title race. Because of City's exit in the Champions League, that possible scenario is now on Liverpool, and not City. City now have it easier in that respect between now and the end of the PL season.
Huge game for City tomorrow against Burnley. Should City win that, then the pressure is firmly back on Liverpool. A possible situation is...
City beat Burnley tomorrow.
Liverpool lose to Newcastle next weekend
City beat Leicester the following Monday night.
If that happens, then City will have won the title come a week on Monday. And the title race will be over before the final round of games is played.
But this title race deserves to go down to the wire. And I think it is most likely that it will.
And whoever comes out on top, boy have they deserved it.
Both driving each other on

It was unbearable grated.

Maybe it was a mistake letting Ben Mee go.

I don’t think either team would have the points tally they have this year if the other team wasn’t there as well. For us, however we do in the last two, to have two consecutive seasons with over 90 points (and maybe even better) is incredible consistency wise.
One of the best characteristics Guardiola and Klopp share is that continued hunger in their players every game, there’s been little to no complacency from either. That doesn’t just take great coaching, that takes very special players too mentality wise, something both teams also have in abundance.

I reckon complacency lost us the Newcastle game tbh.
Let's hope Liverpool follow suit.

Yeah that’s hey I said little, I think so with that one too. Longer term I think it was a blessing though, the run since has been phenomenal.
I wasn’t as worried about today as a lot were, it’s the Leicester game that concerns me. They’ve been playing very very well for a while now.

Leicester are going for 7th and an EL place, won't be a walkover.

Brendan Rogers seems to have our number. But we are at home. We need to get the job done and so important for Sergio to break that drought today I think

Why spurs Jimmy? Only like 3 points above United who will obviously outspend them. I see no reason to expect anyone but us and City challenging next season (obviously this is before the transfer window so my view could change but I doubt it)

A fair question, fair challenge. I just feel that Poch, post non-Madrid, non-ManU is s man on a mission. They are 18-20 astern of us, I just don't expect the gap to be so much next season.

Wolves could replace one of the present top 6 next season.
