Draw results obtained Manchester City make Liverpool advantage in the race for the Premier League title this season.
Failing to win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, Monday (14/3) evening local time, made Man City’s position at the top of the Premier League standings under threat from Liverpool.
With only four points ahead of Liverpool, Man City could lose the Premier League title. Liverpool have the advantage of having one more match schedule than the Citizens.
Liverpool will become the Premier League champions if they are able to win in the remaining 10 matches this season, including against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on April 10.
If they are able to win in the remaining matches, Liverpool’s maximum points are 96 points. Meanwhile, Man City will only collect a maximum of 95 points from the last nine matches if they lose to Liverpool.
But it is not an easy task for Liverpool to win in the remaining Premier League matches this season. Because the Reds will still meet a number of tough opponents.
Apart from Man City, Liverpool still have to meet Arsenal, Manchester United, and the Merseyside Derby against Everton. In addition, Jurgen Klopp’s team will also meet Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur.
