Manchester City's Kyle Walker has cited the Carabao Cup win over Liverpool in December as the moment that changed their season.
Pep Guardiola's side resumed domestic action after the World Cup break and battled to secure a 3-2 win over their rivals at the Etihad. Neither team were able to field full-strength teams with several players recovering from their international commitments in Qatar.
Nathan Ake eventually scored their winner and, following that success, City have won 18 of their 22 games in the Premier League. At Christmas, it was Arsenal who were setting the pace and, up until recently, had looked ready to retain their spot at the summit and secure an unlikely title.
