Last year, Manchester City were 13 points clear of their nearest rival in the Premier League, but after losing twice in the last three games, Spanish coach Pep Guardiola is no longer celebrating this year.
Manchester City is undefeated, as is the feeling that Guardiola will certainly win the title for the second consecutive season.
Liverpool seemed to have a chance to catch up with Citi when Guardiola was down 2 to 2 against Chelsea two weeks ago. The 3-2 home defeat at Crystal Palace left City 4 points behind Liverpool's Jorgen Klub. Manchester City will meet Liverpool at the beginning of the new year in Manchester on January 3, pending the results of the two giants.
Manchester City faces a dangerous schedule as they play against Leicester, who succeeded Saturday when Guardiola failed to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
"We are in December and we will try to recover and win the matches," Guardiola said.
"There are still a lot of games to play, we have to recover mentally and physically," said the Manchester City coach. Injuries were inflicted on Citi recently, while Sergio Aguero and Kevin De Bruyen were missing. In the coming period, but perhaps the most influential absence of David Silva.
The Spanish midfielder was injured in the back of the thigh in the loss to Chelsea on 8 December. Although he has returned to the bench and is hoping to recover well before Liverpool, the team missed him in front of Crystal Palace.
Leroy Sani and Rahim Sterling did not find the support needed and Gabriel Jesús was unlikely to score. With this delay, Manchester City went into high gear for a tie defense error.
Guardiola refused to talk about the mistakes of his players, but said defender Kyle Walker would learn after committing a foul that resulted in the third goal's penalty from the visiting team and certainly also the urge to beat Leicester and Southampton. Is a formidable force in the midfield alongside De Bruin and Fernandinho.
