Premier League title race predictor: Can anybody catch Liverpool?

Tom Doyle11 November 2019

Is the Premier League title race already over?

Liverpool's dominant 3-1 victory over champions Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday saw Jurgen Klopp's Reds take an eight-point lead at the top of the table after just 12 games.

Pep Guardiola's furious reactions both during and after the game suggest that the Man City boss knows his side's chances of claiming a hat-trick of title triumphs are now slipping away.

And following gameweek 12, City are no longer even the closest challengers to Liverpool, with Leicester City and Chelsea leapfrogging the champions this weekend.

Leicester's impressive 2-0 victory over Arsenal has sent the Foxes second and led some to believe that Brendan Rodgers could be the man to help the club replicate Claudio Ranieri's sensational title triumph in 2016.

Meanwhile, Frank Lampard's Chelsea revolution is gathering pace as a young Blues side confidently swatted aside Crystal Palace 2-0 at Stamford Bridge to take third place.

While Arsenal and Manchester United would have also been discussed as potential title challengers in years gone by, the old rivals sit sixth and seventh respectively as their focus surely shifts towards battling for a top-four finish.

With Tottenham also out of the picture, it appears as though three clubs - Leicester, Chelsea and Man City - are the only ones capable of reeling in Liverrpool... but is the gap already too great?
