This season is anything but easy, if you have forgotten so quickly, City had a very poor and slow start to the season and as you can see from the league table, despite their consistent form of late, they aren't too far from the teams in second and third positions, and as we know, anything is still possible.
But having said that, atm, City look like they are the title favorites, and if they can win against Liverpool this weekend, then that will give them an added boost and motivation in this title race, City have fixed their defensive woes and are the team to have conceded the least in the league this season, and to add to that, they are a deadly force when going forward. With an impregnable defense and players that can score 3 goals or more in a blink of an eye, I think City will be champions of the EPL this season.
I agree that league could be anything at the moment, I do not even see City as the favorites for some reason, not because of anything specific because I can't put my finger on why I wouldn't find City as the favorites, sure they are either the best team or at least second best team in the league and already leading the league right now so by all means I should see them as favorites but I do not at all.
I think Liverpool is still the favorites for some reason, they are a well oiled machine, a British football club with worldwide talents managed by a German, how well could things get. However, we are talking about premier league here, if United wins, if WEST HAM for Christ sake wins I wouldn't be shocked, we talked about Leicester being 5500 to 1 and how they win all the time, anything could happen in premier league honestly.
