The next game decides the title for me - we have to win at the Etihad, a draw there is as probably as good as a defeat at this stage as I don't see city losing to anybody else.
They have been down this road before an pipped us by 1 point by not losing x number of games in the run in.
COME ON YOU RED MEN!
That year they went out in the QF of UCL and for FA cup only had Brighton and Watford to deal with at end stage. Their last 5 games they only had EPL to 100% focus on.
On the other hand, we've also be there before went head to head with them in the league and to the final of UCL. Only addition for us this season is the FA semi final.
Last season pep had the title wrapped up early and just focused on UCL.
"Challenging" for EPL title and UCL is new territory for them. So it will be interesting to see how they do if they progress in UCL.
I think if the go further in UCL especially with a potential SF vs Chelsea, things could turn out different for them.
However I would agree that the game against them on Sunday is huge and imo if we win I think we will mentally break them.
