Manchester City Vs Liverpool: A Changing Of The Guard As Reds March To Premier League Title

Tired of finishing second best to Manchester City , Liverpool took revenge on the English champions with a 2-0 victory at the Etihad on Sunday to strike a potentially decisive blow in the Premier League title race.

Arne Slot 's men enjoy a commanding 11-point lead over second-placed Arsenal, whose 1-0 home defeat to West Ham on Saturday realistically ended their challenge to win the league for the first time in 21 years.

Liverpool know themselves the pain of such a drought despite being one of the giants of the English game.

Thirty years passed between their 18th top-flight title in 1990 and 19th in the coronavirus-impacted 2019/20 season.

Now they are on course to match Manchester United's record of 20 thanks to a Slot's smooth transition as the successor to Jurgen Klopp.
