Manchester City’s draw away at Crystal Palace on Monday has set up a title clash at the Etihad in three weeks time.
The result means Liverpool can come within a point behind them in the table if they beat Arsenal on Wednesday.
Assuming both teams don’t drop any points before April 10, the game between City and Liverpool will be a fight for the title.
Manchester City looked to have the Premier League sewn up before Christmas. However, just as it was in 2019, Liverpool have chased them down relentlessly.

If you asked both sets of fans, Manchester City fans would rather win the Champions League and Liverpool would rather win the Premier League. However, it could work out the opposite way. City’s desperation to win the Champions league could hamper their domestic performances, though.
It certainly gives Liverpool a chance and if they keep up the pace by the time they go to Manchester, a win would put their destiny in their hands.
Getting past Arsenal at the Emirates is no guarantee, though. Along with Liverpool they are the form team in England with 5 consecutive wins and 9 in their last 11.
Arsenal are incredibly strong at home, and should have beaten City in January. If they can produce a similar performance, Liverpool will have to be at their best to beat them.

All the pressure will be on Liverpool. With Arsenal’s games in hand, they can actually afford to lose to Liverpool without it damaging their top 4 ambitions.
Arsenal could well nick a result though. Their 2 – 0 win over Leicester on Sunday was thoroughly mature and professional. That, coupled with the blossoming of their young attacking players makes them a match for anybody.
