Is there any real battle for the title in England?

Manchester City flashed first, Liverpool topped the top, and the Premier League title was already in full swing. The current champion, under the leadership of Josep Guardiola, remains a favorite because of the higher quality of his lineup as a whole, but the reds stubbornly chased, refused to surrender to the difficulties in the last rounds and used their rival`s defeat to overtake him. Now they remain the only unbeaten team in the league. Could the Stamford Bridge clash on Saturday change the essence of the crown battle in England?
CITIZEN FREQUENCY OPEN THE DOORS FOR LIVERPOOL
The second consecutive Premier League title for Guardiola and his boys was considered a formality by quite a few fans and specialists, given the monstrous play and results in the first 15 rounds.
Here we have to note that such an opinion has never been spoken or demonstrated by a share of citizens or their manager as they sweep each rival on his way this season in the Purist style that has become their trademark.
Those who insisted on City`s prior coronation did not pay attention to how Liverpool stubbornly pursued the fifth champion and leader, refusing to surrender, tossing results via contact with football tipsters with teeth and claws instead of blitzing his rivals as in the second halflast season.
Ehidhad will not react excessively to a loss, however frustrating it may be. But there is no doubt that the slight change in the picture adds an intriguing dimension to the top of the Premier League.

City`s first championship defeat for the season is likely to have remained a closed page with the return of the training field, all the more so in the first 44 minutes the game was excellent and only the prize for all this work was missing;the end of the attack.
Guardiola thinks his team is at the same level as last season, and just the rivals are gaining momentum, in particular Liverpool. He was not upset by the loss, pointing out that he was only December and that the title was not only Liverpool, but also Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham.
Other people, not Guardiola, overcame the aura of invincibility on the citizens, and the Catalan summed up wonderfully:We are not here to be invincible, here we are champions. Whoever talks about invincibility just sells you an illusion.
Stamford Bridge`s failure was the result of a lack of ruthlessness, and it was proof that no matter how strong and talented your team is, there will be a moment when the lack of big players will be felt. Guardiola refused to be involved in this subject, praising those who played. There is no doubt, however:Kevin De Braine and Sergio Aguero are missing, and this is particularly evident in the first half of the championship. Big players catch the moment and solve big games.
City has such a class and quality that it will recover from the shock. The smart bet remains a new title for the citizens 22 rounds before the end, and this loss was a return to reality not for them but for those who were ready to hand them the crown right now.

Could this be the day for LIVERPOOL?
