City will beat Liverpool at the etihad, especially if Liverpool have to go all out for the win there which they will. The saints game was an anomaly for city. They battered them all game just couldn’t score.
Erra they could easily go the rest of the season unbeaten.

If Liverpool surprisingly announced a team with no Salah, their price drifts.
If city annoynce no de Brunye price doesn't move.
No KDB, Forden.
No Foden, Sterling
No Sterling, mahrez.
No mahrez, grealizh
Etc etc etc.
Truth is city could field 2 teams capable of winning the league. Their first 11 might not be the best first 11 of the epl era, but their first 25 or so is unmatched.

This season it'll take a hell of a lot to stop them from this position, if they aren't badly affected by injuries/COVID from here on in.
But with Torres gone & Mendy (ahem) unavailable their squad isn't as deep as you'd think. First 16/17 players are all excellent and bloody expensive, but beyond that it's kids - admittedly some are quite talented.
If they got very unlucky with injuries (esp. in midfield, where Rodri is crucial) then some cracks might appear. But we are clutching at straws.
of course they're gonna win the league if they're starting every game with 25 players on the pitchIn betting twam news is very important.

Yeah, I see your point about central midfield, but it would probably only be an issue against the very best EPL teams and in the later stages of the CL (Peps brainfart in the final being the perfect example)They've got great strength in the final third and at CB in particular - plus 3 good level full-backs (even with Mendy away) and Ake able to fill in there too.
But, as I mentioned below, they aren't as strong as you'd think once you look at the players occupying the 18th to 25th places in their squad.
If Rodri and another CM (e.g. Gundogan) were out together for a stretch then that would weaken them, and have ripple effects elsewhere in the XI.
Would've been nice if City had a couple of tough games coming up quickly after the Southampton game, in the hope that they'd wobble.
That said, if Brentford start quickly they could give them something to worry about.

That’s pretty much it. They keep the ball so well that most teams don’t really get a chance to get at them to expose any potential weaknesses. They’re just an exceptional side.Yeah, I see your point about central midfield, but it would probably only be an issue against the very best EPL teams and in the later stages of the CL (Peps brainfart in the final being the perfect example)
They're just so good at keeping the ball it's hard for lesser teams to hurt them consistently.

Klopp won’t give up the chase in the PL but unlike other years when he has put domestic cups to the side, I think he should go strong in them because we can be a good cup side if we want to be.
Pipping City over 38 games is really tough. Pipping City in cup games or others isn’t that tough as our first XI can beat anyone. Chelsea are a good example of this too. They’ve been great in cups since Tuchel took over.
