Manchester City will not finish more than 8 points ahead of the second placed team but 3rd to 6th places will be a close thing. Tuchel and Moyes have made their Chelsea and West Ham United teams real contenders but Liverpool look like they will miss out of the EUropean Champions League next season.
I think City could well finish above second place with more than eight points, they are currently 11 points ahead of Manchester United, and Imo, the derby loss is going to be a motivation for City, though their winning run was cut short, but then, it could make them more ruthless, and with ten games to go, they could prolly not lose a single match yet again, and having said that, Manchester United aren't reliable to say the least, they will still drop a couple of points from now to the end, so I think City should finish above second place with 10+ points.
It is also good for United that they will go into the Champions League again, if things are going the way they are now.
Would be a disaster if Liverpool fails to qualify for the CL. And then have to play the Europa League?
I don't think it was ever in doubt that Manchester United will make it into the CL, they are going to finish second, except they enter a bad run of form, as for Liverpool and Klopp, it's definitely going to be a disastrous EPL season, qualifying for the CL through the league is already impossible, except they win the CL and thus get an automatic qualification. Liverpool playing Europa league football will indeed be a nightmare for Liverpool fans.
