Man City had to go 18-0-1 over the last half of the season to eclipse that lead by 1 point. They won't do that again this year and the lead is larger. and LCFC won't do anything close to that either. Assuming Liverpool at least draw their game in hand, they would need to drop 15 points or 16 points if MC or LCFC went perfect, respectively. Neither dropping 15 points nor perfect remainder of the seasons are likely to happen (with the latter being more certain).

Again, you're talking about a healthy team.

A key injury to the ones I've already noted could change things significantly.

And no, I don't see City going on a run like last year. But hell, would you put it past Sheikh to throw out some cash and land a Koulibaly? Signings like those could transform a defense like it did Liverpool's two Januarys ago.
