I think three games with Spurs couple of them high intensity CL quarterfinals and a hardly fought PL game against palace and a mid week game with united being played in last 15 days without much break and without their two Key midfield players, with a more fresh giant killing Burnley should be the game that could be the potential title decider.. Very unlikely to see City coming out with all three points especially if they do not score early and Burnley do somewhere during the middle of the game..

They have the pace and ability to score goals against them. City struggle against sides that can break and have a go at them. There aren't many sides like that, but Leicester aren't going to sit back.

They seem to play much higher up the field than under Puel, and they don't force chances either, happy to keep the ball if there isn't a clear opening. Getting players around Vardy, though, seems to be the main transformation. Vardy has gone from 1 goal every 2.67 games under Puel in the league this season to 1:1 under Rodgers.

Thank you - good to see Vardy is back in the goals again, his record against top 6 teams is incredible. Tielemans hopefully putting himself in the shop window as well.

Wow. That’s quite the improvement.

Small sample size, but it shows that he's getting the delivery of ball he needs, and also he's happier to work in the Rodgers system.

Form table from the last 5 matches:

1.   Man City   5   5   0   0   10:1   15

2.   Liverpool   5   5   0   0   11:3   15

3.   Everton   5   4   0   1   9:2   12

4.   Burnley   5   3   1   1   10:5   10

5.   Leicester   5   3   1   1   10:5   10

That's promising to be fair

Reading this about Adebayor on Vidic and Ferdinand being psychos and responsible for MU's success: “Vidic was the tough man, the nastiest, like running into a rock. He could block a striker with a single finger. He walks on you, he says sorry, he kicks you, he says sorry. He shouts at you and makes a little bit of spit come out. “This guy was ready to kill.”“We swallowed defeats,” he added. “Games where I scored and we lost 2-1, I thought my job was done. Rio would have come to me ‘if you want to be happy, score three.’ I saw him argue with Rooney and [Ryan] Giggs.
“These are the things we didn’t have. We were nice. We had a gentlemen team. We play, we pass around but when it comes to being dirty, we couldn’t.”

Made me think of how we were manhandled last year v RM in the final.

Gotta make sure we're ready next time.

Everyone should be fawning over us.

We have two players on top of the scoring table, most assists, most clean sheets, least goals conceded, least games lost.
You can't tell me that's not the form of champions.

Yet we have a team in the league that's not playing by the rules. That's financially doped by a fucking country.

It'll be an absolute farce if we don't win. Abu Dhabi FC must face consequences.

They won't cos the PL doesn't give a shite. Fans must campaign before they'll do anything. The PL will in time become just another Ligue 1 or Serie A (throw der Bundesliga in there)

I know it's easy to have given up already but as responses go a 5 nil thrashing is a hell of a way to say "the fat lady is only warming up"

And last year? Needed defence and keeper sorted.

Next year? Woaaah

Never, ever, going to happen. So called "rival" fans are more obsessed with us not winning it. Just listen to the wankers in Sky Sports doing the commentary in our games. They were practically gagging for us to fail or have problems.
