When you look at the fixtures left to be played this season, Man City should be favourites to win the league even 5 points behind.
To my mind they are favourites (even if not with the bookies) and that will remain so even in the incredibly unlikely event that we win today. We obviously won’t but if we win today and beat City, we would be favourites (well not favourites, the title would be ours to all intents and purposes). So I guess in respect of the fact that it’s in our hands we are favourites but it means having to overturn our record of defeats (six in a row at Anfield and the Etihad)
We won’t win today, but if we do then I think that will carry us to the title.
If we lose, as I fear we will, then it’s not fatal to our title challenge but it will definitely hand the momentum to City
