Don’t know what you mean?
TBF all 3 sides look brilliant and hopefully it’s a great race and I hope we win it, can’t see past City at the minute.

I don’t think Chelsea look that amazing but have ground out some results. City look the strongest in general and going by their performances at The Bridge and Anfield but Liverpool seem to have regained the ability to get the job done so wouldn’t rule you out.
At least Liverpool have exposed the pure bias of the collective punditry/hacks.
Not a single one gave them a chance of winning the title this season, which was beyond stupid.
As a neutral in the PL race - Chelsea are still in there.
Liverpool needed a 94th min winner (fair play though ) and City are vulnerable to a slip up.
Really hope it remains a 3 horse race to the final
Couple of games - could be the best PL season since AGUEEEERRRRROOOOOOOO!!
As a neutral in the PL race

Ever the bridesmaid..
Still dont see anything between the 3 really. A few were writing us off when we lost there a couple of weeks ago.
Right now, I think its just a case of hanging onto citys coat-tails while they go on their usual big winning run. If ourselves and chelsea can stay within 3 or 4 through till end of january then its anyones title.
Two poor results for them in the last 6 days but a long way to go.
Not sure if I’m right, but I think tonight might be the first time City have been in first place this season.
From a City perspective, huge win for West Ham, and was looking good for Liverpool dropping points too. But Liverpool’s last minute winner does feel ominous.
Jlou is right. Long way to go yet.
Maybe our expectations are too high. We haven’t got the clinical players that Liverpool and City have.
The difference for me is if Liverpool and City dominate you for a whole half of football then the game is over 9 times out of 10.
We can dominate for a whole half and we rarely have a 2 goal lead to show for it.
One goal leads are precarious in the Premier league.
We lack the killer instinct of the other 2 teams.
Chelsea haven't looked amazing for most of the season imo barring a couple games, but they are very solid and hard to beat. Have a knack of getting the job done as well, today was their first league loss since the 25th of september (which was to City) and only their second league loss of the season.
I think they'll hang in there and have a real shot at the title, although I do think ultimately it will be City or us in the end.
Testament to the job Pep and Klopp have done, over the past 4 seasons its been incredible.

100%. 2 best managers in the world. I thought Liverpool were starting to fade last season but that clearly isn’t the case.
Always felt City and Liverpool were the main title contenders but Chelsea still have a great chance. Defensively they seem very solid but need to figure out how they’re gonna set up now Lukaku’s back. Players like Loftus-Cheek, Alonso and Barkley aren’t the type you wanna see starting if you’re hoping to challenge for the title.
I know people thought it was excuses but we really did get facked by injuries last year. We had Nat Phillips and Rhys Williams at centre half for like the last dozen games of the season, and before that were playing Hendo and Fab in there.
Thankfully we made the investment in that area with Konate and Klopp has spoken about how he learned his lesson in not playing midfielders there.
Plus Klopp seems to have really taken the handbrake off (not that it was on that much) as this is the most attacking we've been under him since the season we lost to Real in the champs league final.

It will be interesting to see with Lukaku back how he fits.
Bit of a dilemma because I actually think they've stumbled into the solution with Havertz in almost the Firmino role, facilitating others. They look way more dangerous going forward when he's up front.

I think they look better without Lukaku. Injury aside that signing has gone exactly like I thought it would so far.
Reactionary. Same way West ham were apparently going to finish mid table before today's result
It seems like city would be my favorite.
Chelsea seemed at the top of their game and couldn’t pull away, Liverpool have been on fire but still find themselves second.
City still don’t seem like they’ve got going to their full potential yet and are top

I agree.
Lukaku really needs someone alongside him, like Lautaro at inter.
And not Werner because he is shiiiiiiiit
