Everton 0-0 Liverpool: 5 talking points | Premier League 2018-19

#5. The ball is in Manchester City's court again

Manchester City are atop the table again

Pep Guardiola's swashbuckling side ceded top spot in December when a run of two consecutive defeats let Liverpool take the pole position in the league. However, the Merseyside derby draw ensures they are back on top again and the ball is now in their court now.

The Cityzens have an easier run of games barring the trip to Old Trafford and the visit of Tottenham. But in all honesty, even if you take the latter game out of the equation, it leaves us with just one particular game where they could realistically drop points from now till the end of the season.

With only a single point separating the sides, it's, of course, the slimmest of margins. But, there are worrying times ahead for Klopp and his team, who have now dropped eleven points in the last nine games. The steam is visibly running out, and at the most inopportune time.

Manchester City holds the advantage again, but there are nine more games to go. The home stretch of the campaign promises to be really intriguing!
