I think a difference of 1 point will not prevent Manchester City from winning the title this season and even though other strong teams such as Liverpool and Arsenal are above them, it is only a matter of time before these two teams experience a deadlock. I'm sure Pep Guardiola still has magic in his players and all they need to do is keep winning. It will be more difficult to defend the title and they don't want that to happen. The title competition in the EPL always presents interesting things and maybe that's what makes this league not feel boring.
If the 1 point gap can last until the end of the season, Man City will fail to win the title.
I know it is a small point gap, but it means a lot. Whatever the reason, Liverpool and Arsenal still have the bigger chance to win EPL title now. I'm very curious why you think Liverpool and Arsenal will experience a deadlock in the future? Do you have a strong reason?
Liverpool may have some injured players but most of the key players who got injured, they already returned to the team. With Salah, Nunez, and other players who recovered from injury, I think it will make the chance for Liverpool to win EPL title bigger. Arsenal often lost focus toward the end of the season but I think they already take many lessons from the bad experiences in the past. So, they must already prepare something to avoid it.
The competition for the title becomes more interesting because the point gap among 3 teams is very small. Even, the total points of Liverpool and Arsenal are the same. Meanwhile Man City only has 1 point difference with Liverpool and Arsenal. This will be a tough competition until the end of the season.
