Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri is convinced the wheels are coming off Liverpool's title challenge.
Liverpool's defeat to Chelsea handed the advantage to City last week.
Nasri said: "It's crucial because we won it in the same way it's looking this time.
"It's the same kind of thing that's happening. Liverpool just lost a game at home, we won against Palace. Now we know if we win our games, we'll be champions. We have this experience, Liverpool don't and that can be good for us.
"We know how to deal with this. Liverpool have played really well but they don't have it. They have young players. It could be the difference."
