Whoever wins the Premier League this season will have had to see off the ultimate challenger.
Liverpool and Manchester City face off on Sunday, two teams who have been light years ahead of the rest this season, two teams who are among the finest to have competed in the modern era. With things so tight at the top, with City leading by a point and both teams on 30 games, this weekend's game feels title defining.
Football is about trophies, and winning and adding to the history of the Reds and their bulging trophy cabinet will be the focus of boss Jurgen Klopp, a man who has already written his name into Liverpool folklore but who still has the potential to leave an extraordinary lasting legacy when the time does come for him to depart Anfield. To have the status as Premier League champions is what the players and staff crave, but there is also a financial benefit to be had from it too.
