Premier League final day record makes grim reading for Liverpool title hopes

With one game of the Premier League season to go, things couldn't be much closer at the top.

Manchester City lead Liverpool by a single point after the penultimate round of fixtures. Pep Guardiola's side dropped points at West Ham, with Riyad Mahrez missing the chance to give them victory from the penalty spot, while Jurgen Klopp's Reds came from behind to beat Southampton two days later.

Since the Premier League came into being in 1992, there hasn't been a single instance of a team leading the table going into the final round and not winning the title.
