Bernardo Silva did not mince his words after Manchester City dropped two precious points in the title race at Crystal Palace. He should have scored, they should have won, but they are still in the driving seat of this Premier League campaign.
Understandably, Liverpool will only take more encouragement from the City result. Exactly two months ago Jurgen Klopp's side were 14 points behind the leaders (albeit with two games in hand) and on Wednesday they can close the gap to one if they win at Arsenal.
The challengers are currently more in form than the champions. While Liverpool are on an eight-match winning streak in the league, City have drawn two and lost one in that period.
