They're already up 11 points on United and their only other meeting will be at the Etihad. It's gonna be take more than a loss to change things. More like a miracle.
United consistently underperform in matches involving other top 6 clubs, and Conte's already publicly given up on the title race. It's over.
they arent saying one loss alone is gonna change the table, but if you follow the game enough you'll know one game can cause a team to bottle and start a string of loses due to confidence and mental game issues.
