Premier League Title Race Intensifies With Liverpool Vs Man City

Liverpool's pursuit of the Premier League title takes them to Manchester City on Sunday, but two recent stumbles have reignited the title race.

Arne Slot's men seemed to be cruising toward a record-equalling 20th English top-flight title, but consecutive 2-2 draws against Everton and Aston Villa have allowed Arsenal to keep their hopes alive. The Gunners could move within five points of Liverpool if they defeat struggling West Ham at the Emirates on Saturday.

At the same time, Manchester City are reeling from a shocking Champions League exit at the hands of Real Madrid, crashing out before the last 16 for the first time since the 2012/13 season.

Pep Guardiola's side may also be without Erling Haaland, who was sidelined with an injury during the midweek defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu. However, they reminded everyone of their strength with a commanding 4-0 win over Newcastle last weekend.

Despite their recent setbacks, Liverpool remain in pole position for the title. However, Slot is well aware of the challenge ahead at the Etihad.
