In the end, how you get the results matters for little. Liverpool fans could surely care less how they’ve won this season if, in the end, they snap their decades long drought without a top flight title. Who can blame them!
However, when it comes to actual performances, and projecting who should be favored to win with six games remaining, there’s only on clear cut answer: Manchester City.
City may not be on the receiving end of as much bad luck or poor finishing as they were in 2016-17, where the advanced stats suggest City should have comfortably won the league. However, it’s become clear that City are playing above and beyond the level that Liverpool’s at.
Even if City’s remaining games appear much tougher than Liverpool’ls the difference in their performances suggests the opposite.
As long as they continue to take care of their business, like they did last night against Cardiff, City will hold the title at the end of May. Here’s to hoping City do just that!
