Crazy scenario could see Liverpool and Man City contest play-off game for Premier League title

As Liverpool continue to chase an unprecedented quadruple, they already have Champions League and FA Cup finals to look forward to before the end of the season. But there remains a slight possibility they might even need a final play-off to decide the destination of the Premier League title too.

The Reds drew with Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday night to move top of the table on goal difference but, having played a game more than Man City, the result ultimately dealt their title hopes a blow with three games left to play. Pep Guardiola’s side then responded with a 5-0 rout against Newcastle United on Sunday. But the Reds went again and beat Aston Villa 2-1 on Tuesday.

If Liverpool won their two remaining games against Southampton and Wolves while City won two and lost one of their remaining matches against West Ham United, Wolves and Aston Villa, the two sides would finish the season level on 92 points.
