#2 The title race is still on
After City's surprise slip up at St James' Park on Tuesday, it seemed like Liverpool will pull clear of the Citizens and make it a more comfortable margin for the run-in. However, a dogged Leicester City outfit clawed their way back from a goal down at Anfield and denied the Reds three very crucial points.
There would have still been 14 rounds of fixtures left to play. However, a seven-point deficit would have been a hard one to take on for City both physically and mentally. They also remain in the League Cup, FA Cup and Champions League, thereby increasing the strain on the team.
The Leicester draw increases the gap to five points but it is clearly still going to be a very tight title race. A loss and a draw for Liverpool coupled with two City wins will close the gap down and leave the teams level on points and hoping on goal difference.
City remain in the title race and will be hoping that Liverpool's slip will come sooner rather than later.
