With just seven games remaining this season, the title race remains firmly in the balance as Manchester City look to hold off Liverpool’s challenge.
The Blues maintained their one-point advantage over the Reds when they drew 2-2 in their titanic showdown at the Etihad, giving them the upper hand during the final run-in. Their hopes of winning the treble are over though, having lost to Jurgen Klopp’s side at Wembley on Saturday to end their FA Cup journey.
The focus will now be on ensuring City beat their rivals to the league title, with just seven games left in order to hold off Liverpool’s charge. Having seen what both of these sides are capable of, it’s likely to be a title race that goes right down to the wire.

First up for City is the visit of Brighton on Wednesday night, with Graham Potter’s side having caused a couple of big upsets recently after throwing a spanner in the works for Arsenal and Tottenham’s top four hopes. The Blues will hope the same doesn’t happen to them, with Liverpool at home to Manchester United the night before.
A clash with relegation-threatened Watford follows on Saturday, before City end the month by travelling to Leeds. They’ll hope to have booked their place in the Champions League final by the time Newcastle visit the Etihad next month, with a tricky-looking encounter against West Ham following the week after.
There’s also a clash with Wolves to fit in before the Blues end the season against Steven Gerrard’s Aston Villa, with City fans hoping the former Liverpool captain doesn’t come back to help out his side on the final day. If results elsewhere go their way, the title race may not even go that far, although you wouldn’t count on it with these sides.
With their focus now on just the two fronts, City will hope they can at least hold on to their slender advantage as they look to secure back-to-back titles.
