The current points table of the 2019/20 edition of the Premier League might surprise many. Having scored 47 goals in just 17 games, Manchester City are currently in the third place. On Saturday (December 21), they will take on a team that has scored seven goals less than them, but are sitting in the second position.
Leicester City have shown great character in crucial ties, and are hence four points above the defending champions. Though the distance between them and the first-placed Liverpool is of ten points, but given the form Brendan Rodgers’ men have been in, they can be a worthy contender for the title.
With a huge gap of 14 points, Manchester City are already a bit lost in the title race. Though a win on Saturday might not be very helpful in their race to beat Liverpool, but that will close down the gap between them and Leicester City to just one point.
