Manchester City and Liverpool ensure the title race Premier League lasts until the last week of the Premier League. Here’s the scenario of Man City and Liverpool winning through the playoffs.
Man City and Liverpool achieved different results in Week 37 of the Premier League. The Citizens had to settle for a 2-2 draw at West Ham United’s headquarters while Liverpool won 2-1 over Southampton.
The result did not change the position of Man City who collected 90 points at the top of the standings. But Pep Guardiola’s side are only one point ahead of Liverpool who occupy second place.
This condition makes the certainty of Man City and Liverpool winning the Premier League is not easy to predict. It doesn’t even close that both teams have to go through the playoffs to ensure the team that wins the title.
Scenarios in that direction can indeed happen even though the possibility is very small. The playoff path must be passed if Man City loses 0-5 and Liverpool draws 5-5 in Week 38 of the Premier League.
That way the number of points owned by Man City and Liverpool will be the same, namely 90 points. The goal difference between the two teams is also the same, namely 66.
The opportunity for Man City and Liverpool to duel in the play-offs is open, because the results of the two teams in two meetings this season are both 2-2.
“If two clubs cannot be separated by operation [metrik di atas]play-offs at neutral venues [akan dimainkan]format, time and place to be determined by the operator [Liga Inggris]read the Premier League regulations.
It’s just that this scenario is quite difficult to happen because Man City and Liverpool will both play in front of the public themselves. Usually, victory can be achieved by Man City and Liverpool with the quality they have plus the support of fanatical supporters.
Man City will meet Steven Gerrard’s Aston Villa at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday (22/5). At the same time Liverpool will face Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield Stadium.
