Premier League title races never quite come as relentless or intense as those shared between Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City and Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool. In the 2018/19 season, the pair went head to head for the crown, with City finishing out on top by just one point with a mammoth 98 points attained from a possible 114.
Liverpool’s mightily impressive haul of 97 points is still the most a side has ever achieved without winning the Premier League title. This statistic alone helps to demonstrate both the level of quality as well as the lack of room for error between these two battling sides.
This present campaign is no different with the same two teams vying for English football’s highest domestic honour, again with not much to split them in terms of both quality and points.
