In a normal season I would expect Liverpool to be weaker in the remaining games but with the corona break I think all of them will be hungry for more? What do you guys think?

Not really sure. It must be weird with the empty stands and all that.

Maybe I expect them to be styling around a bit more. Origi, Minamino and maybe even the young prospects are going to get some starts.

It's also interesting to see how Guardiola and City cope with the pressure to win UCL. It seems almost like a now or never kind of a situation for them with the PL already gone, potential ban coming up and some of the key players somewhat starting to show their age.

Haha that’s a great segment.

Congrats Liverpool and their fans, well deserved and a long time coming.

But who of the first team players will not want to play?

I think probably most of them are fine dropping a game or two with the remaining schedule being so tight. Probably...

Bookmakers already have City as favourites for next season, then Liverpool then Chelsea and Yanited. I don't see Liverpool winning, rely too much on that front 3 and Mane will be 30. PLUS. African cup of nations is coming, say they keep the whole front 3, they lose Mane and Salah to african cup of nations for 4 weeks...

Because they will spend £1billion to fix it as usual whereas it pretty much confirmed Liverpool will not be investing unless people leave.

you don't see the team that wins by 25 points this season winning next season? I mean if you don't think they're favorites or whatever, sure.. I'm sure they won't get the same margins.. but clearly liverpool is likely to be title contenders..

Haven't won by 25 points yet. They might only win by 4 points!

Also that wasn't the point, the point was the BOOKMAKERS don't have Liverpool as favourites due to lack of investment and the fragility of the game. They are severely lacking offensively if one of the front 3 is missing. They are not due to invest because of the financial problems in the world right now, they would have to sell first. Mane (who imo is their best offensive player) would likely be the one they cash in on due to his age.

City on the other hand, about to be banned from Champs League so they just gonna throw all the money at rebuilding as in 2 years time when they back in champs league they be fine.

Who’s going to City if they’re banned from the CL for 2 years?

Obviously some people will, don’t get me wrong. Seems an odd call from the bookmakers.

Silva’s leaving, Sane in all likelihood too. Their defence isn’t particularly great. Pep is approaching the time he tends to burn out and need a break traditionally.

I’d still have City considerably ahead of the chasing pack as second favourites but above what Liverpool have done this season seems odd.
