In an ideal world Manchester City would have liked to have beaten Liverpool on Sunday. Of course they would.
Although Liverpool have endured a difficult start to the season, they are still arguably - unless Arsenal keep up their current form - the side best equipped to stop City winning the Premier League for a third successive season.
A win at Anfield would have put City 16 points clear of Jurgen Klopp's side, but in reality the gap is now 10. Should Liverpool win their game in hand then it will be cut to seven. Last season Liverpool showed they are capable of clawing their way back from a seemingly impossible position, and with Mohamed Salah returning to form they are more than capable of doing so again.
