Jamie Carragher has claimed Liverpool's fixtures against Manchester City and Arsenal in the next week will play a crucial part in the Premier League title race.
Pep Guardiola's men welcome the Reds to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon looking to temporarily close the gap between themselves and the Gunners. Mikel Arteta's side are currently eight points clear at the top of the table after winning 22 of their 28 games this season.
Next week, the north Londoners face Liverpool in their search for a first win at Anfield since 2012. Liverpool have been involved in some of the most nail-biting title races in recent seasons but could now play a different role in determining the winners.
