A bold statement indeed. It is made not with sentiments but HARD FACTS. MANCHESTER CITY WILL WIN THE LEAGUE.
Liverpool have fought and will fight a brilliant war but they have lost too many battles to come out on top. With four and three games left for City and Liverpool respectively, Liverpool have the odds stacked against them. While Liverpool have lived dangerously in their last few matches, City have dispatched opponents comfortably and their three points have never looked in doubt.
Tomorrow, City travel to Old Trafford in a must-win clash against a United team who got trounced 4-0 by 7th placed Everton. This match will have only one outcome. A City win. Ole and his United team are not quality enough to lay a finger on City and their primary concern would be limiting the amount of goals City will surely score.
A City win will lift them above Liverpool into first place and with three games left for each side then, the final battles begin. For City though, they will look at the league with tunnel-like vision. After crashing out of the Champions League in the quarter-finals, Pep and his boys have only the league to fight for. Their dreams of a quadruple season ended at Tottenham's new stadium and with it came a new vigour which will see them past even the most dangerous of opponents.
Liverpool play Huddersfield, Newcastle and Wolves in their last three games of the season. In between those clashes is a Champions League match-up against La Liga giants Barcelona. Barcelona is a distraction Liverpool can ill-afford but a place in the final against either Ajax or Tottenham is a proposition that any big club will find hard to turn down.
Plus, while Liverpool can surely get past relegated Huddersfield, Newcastle come baring Rafa Benitez, a blast from the past for the Reds. As if that isn't enough troubles, in the final game of the 2018/19 season Liverpool face giant-killers Wolves.
City's part is pretty straightforward, Burnley, Leicester and Brighton.
Except Ole and his boys can do fierce rivals Liverpool a solid favour tomorrow, City might just unofficially win the league at Old Trafford.
