My fear is other teams believing City are invincible and rolling over.

With 12 points behind City plus City having a game in hand, it's over for them. Can't believe I said they were the team to beat a few months ago, even hoped they'd lose against City, which they did and I was happy. But honestly, I don't know how I could underestimate the abomination that is Manchester City. I thought since they were without a proper striker this season they'd struggle but that's been no problem for them at all. Well, I learned my lesson, even a lesser abomination like Chelsea is better than City, at least we can still compete with them. The sheikhs are just indestructible with the amounts of money they spend. Plus I'm very confident they've paid off somebody to win them the league via referee decisions but that's another topic that I'm sure most won't agree with here.

- Liverpool's 'best ever team' in 1988/89 after 21 matches: 32 pts.
- Man Utd's treble-winners after 21 matches: 38 points
- Arsenal's 'Invincibles' after 21 matches: 49 pts.
The fact that City are so far ahead after 12 unbeaten games shows the power of money.

After tomorrow there's a 2 week break and by the time the next league game comes round, Thiago, Keita, Elliott, Mane, and Salah, will all be back. We could be at pretty much full strength going into February which is a massive contrast compared to this time last year when we were scratching around trying to rustle up a CB partnership and a decent midfield.
