I didn't really consider that we would challenge for the title this season until just a few weeks ago. With that in mind I am delighted with our current situation, still think it might be too much, especially with how absolutely lethal City looks. Win or not, I think this season has been immensely positive when comparing to previous few seasons, with exception for the CL title, we look so stable and we have a coach that can just keep building on it and is secure in his seat. I hate to jump ahead but next season will be huge. So yeah for my money City is still the favorites, I see Liverpool at 4th, at best. Their defense is truly awful and I don't think they can keep outrunning their fate by outscoring the opposition. They would be delighted to finish top 4 though.
