Liverpool vs Manchester City: How can the Reds win the league?

Everyone who follows either club knows that a Liverpool win can place them ten points clear of City, granting them a firm clench on the Premier League. Here is why it could very possibly happen.

As City have found difficulty, the Reds could not have possibly found more success. They have efficiently gained nine points in the table and 16 points in goal differential on their Lancashire adversaries.

A victory is not essential, however, it would place the Cityzens in a precarious position and with Totenham already nine points behind, Jurgen Klopp’s team could be in clear sight of the Premier League title.

Yet, the league is not won until the trophy is unveiled and presented. Work is still to be done. This is nowhere more evident than in this upcoming match.

The blue side of Manchester suffered three defeats in the previously mentioned time period. Falling 3-1 to Chelsea, 3-2 to Crystal Palace and 2-1 to Leicester City.

City’s two wins, since their first loss against Chelsea, have not been a simple task, either. Against Everton, Richarlison barely missed an early goal that would have transformed the game into something totally different.

The second City goal against Southampton swung things into the favour of Pep’s side. However, if the ball, which was an own goal off of James Ward-Prowse, deflects in the favour of the Saints and not City, the outlook would be vastly different.

City were by no means dominant and the final goal came from the momentum of a fortuitous second goal. Perhaps, it would have ended in a draw or even a win for the Saints’ faithful at St. Mary’s if Ralph Kreuger’s side possessed some more luck.

Alas, we arrive upon the question that requires this in-depth ponderance upon Manchester City’s games. That question is: What is wrong with City?
