Liverpool thrashed Leeds 6-0 at Anfield last night, inflicting the heaviest defeat on Marcelo Bielsa since... Manchester City put seven past them in December.
Even if Jurgen Klopp will still be calling for caution, the mood on Merseyside - where people are never shy to talk up their team - is of a title race reborn and of a club that could actually go on and win an unprecedented quadruple this year.
Down the M62 little has changed at the Etihad. Pep Guardiola had been talking up his biggest rivals for some time and having seen Liverpool stay within touching distance when the Blues were at their best, it is no surprise to see them close the gap when the champions have stumbled lately. Despite this, it would still take a superhuman effort from the challengers to unseat a City side that remain in control of the title race.
