'I just don't see City catching up to Liverpool'

BBC chief football writer Phil McNulty has been answering your questions.

Owen asked: I would like to hear your thoughts about whether Manchester City are back in contention in the Premier League title race. Where do you see them finishing come May?

Phil answered: I realise only a fool would write off Manchester City's title chances but I'm going to do exactly that right now.

I just think a gap of 12 points, having played a game more than leaders Liverpool, is too much for even City to make up.

It would take an incredible sequence of results from City, and a collapse from Liverpool, for this to happen - and I just don't see it.

Where will City finish? Definitely top four and I could even see them finishing second if they discover something more of their real selves.
