Was Sunday's late comeback to win at Anfield the game that will spark Manchester City's title bid?

Time will tell, but I am not convinced. I still think the issues that saw City fall behind in the first place will still cost them in future games too.

Fair play to Pep Guardiola's side for turning things around with six minutes to go, because their record at Anfield was so poor and a point would not have been enough for them.

But I just don't see this City team controlling games anymore in the way they used to. In the past, if you got a result against City you were either fortunate or had to play exceptionally well, but this season I've seen them let teams back into games on numerous occasions.

Sunday was no different. They were getting mauled in the second half by wave after wave of Liverpool attacks, before the chaos at the end. Gianluigi Donnarumma's save was a big moment and I was delighted that Erling Haaland stuck his penalty away because he's captain of my fantasy team and that gave me a good score.

As a neutral, I hope the a title race lasts until the final few weeks of the season but I just feel like City will drop too many more points before then.

Fulham are a good footballing side and almost got something from City at Craven Cottage in December – I was there, and City only just held on for a 5-4 win.

Marco Silva's side have been hard done by in their past couple of games because they had plenty of chances in their defeat at Manchester United, then could have been well ahead at the break before they lost to Everton too.

This time? Well, I think Fulham will score at Etihad Stadium too, and they are due a bit of a break. Maybe they will get it against City, but I am still going for a home win.

Sutton's prediction: 3-1
