Liverpool ended 2018 by thrashing Arsenal 5 – 1 and taking a lead of 9 points over City.They subsequently closed that gap to 7 points when they beat Southampton.
But for now its a happy old year for Liverpool as they lead the charge.
Whether the new year will be happy too will depend on the upcoming El Premier League Clasico – when they take on City on Friday the 4th of Jan.Pep’s City,dislodged from the top spot because of two unexpected losses,will be coming in with all guns blazing.If Liverpool,pardon the mixed metaphors,manage to weather the storm,they will surely be well on their way to the long awaited title.
