I'm sure that's what everybody said when they won the league. It's unlikely anyone will catch Liverpool but I wouldn't say it's in the bag and Liverpool shouldn't think like it is either as that's how slip-ups happen. They were very lucky in their last two games and could have dropped points to two pretty poor teams. Injuries can happen as well. Let's see how Liverpool would do without van Dijk or one of their strikers. Leicester are also playing both City and Liverpool back to back this month. If they can win both those games or even get a couple of points things might be looking a lot different. No Champions League games for them to worry about either.
I agree with your thoughts. 11 points lead in start of December don't guarantee EPL trophy. December will be crazy month in EPL and it can be decisive in title race. In February serious games in Champions league will begin and teams won't be able to focus just on EPL. Liverpool had few very difficult wins against weak teams, it shows that they aren't unbeatable. 2 loses and City is back on track. On the other hand, City don't have right to make mistakes anymore.And yeah, few years ago everyone said same things about Leicester as @LFC_Bitcoin said now. But now their situation is different. Back then they were leading all season long, now they are in chasing position. But I would love to see them ending season in Top 4.
Didn't Liverpool throw away a similar lead last season? Don't think it was by as much as they have now but anything is possible. The December/early Jan games sure will be interesting. Manchester derby this week, Leicester playing both City and Liverpool back to back. City vs Sheff United could be interesting given the latter's form right now and then they play Liverpool the round next on 2nd Jan. Lots of points to be won and lost so there could be a shake up. The table is quite close outside the top three. Man United are 9th with 18 points but they're only potentially six points from a relegation place and I'd really love to see them struggling with that haha.
A lot of people haven’t got their picks in for tonight - come on !
Let's see if a small bump to put this thread back to the top will get the attention of those who haven't made their picks (: (Today I'm expecting a draw in the first game, and a comfortable 0-3 win for the Citizens).Yeah, I've for the bore draw on the Palace game. Should be a comfortable win for City but gone for 0-2 instead.
