Now that the inner volume has begun, the pace must be consistent.
In the 29th round of the Premier League, Manchester City drew 0-0 with Crystal Palace, Liverpool beat Brighton 2-0 away, and then Liverpool beat Arsenal 2-0 in the make-up, narrowing the point difference between the two sides to one point. The suspense of the Premier League title, which has disappeared for more than half a season, has not only returned, but also rolled in.
In the 30th round of the Premier League, Manchester City and Liverpool were postponed due to their participation in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, and the first battle between the two males after the start of the Premier League championship roll began in the 31st round of the Premier League.
Perhaps it is a dark arrangement, Manchester City and Liverpool's opponents in the 31st round are both fish belly deep in the relegation zone. Manchester City away to Burnley and Liverpool at home to Watford, both teams have only one goal, three points. But with the champions league quarter-finals in the first leg due next week, Both Guardiola and Klopp have reservations in the platoon.
Klopp rotated 3 people – Mane, Arnold and Fabinho. Although Liverpool are in control, it is not easy to win. Salah, the top scorer, was clearly absent-minded after missing the World Cup, and sleepwalking on the field. Thankfully, Jota continued his recent excellent form, scoring 2 goals on his head and feet, breaking the deadlock and creating a point of success, helping the Reds to score 3 points as desired.
Klopp has once again led Liverpool to a 10-game winning streak in the Premier League, but if it is true, the fatigue of the players can be clearly felt in the last few games. In the past few seasons, Klopp has strategically abandoned the FA Cup and the League Cup, but this season, Liverpool have won the League Cup, and the pressure of the third-tier battle is a huge test for Klopp and Liverpool.
Guardiola also rotated three people – Bernardo Silva, Mahrez and Stones. The impetus brought by the sense of oppression has made Manchester City finally play with some urgency. Sterling played the joy with assists, De Bruyne and Gundogan respectively contributed, and Manchester City took a 2-goal lead early.
The big picture has been decided, Manchester City began to play health-style, with a strong passing ability to nip Burnley's counterattack in the bud, Manchester City with the smallest consumption to get 3 points, so that Liverpool's top experience card effective time is only 2 hours.
The April schedule will be decisive, both for Manchester City, who are aiming to defend their title, and for Liverpool, which are eager to regain the title.

After 31 rounds of the Premier League, Manchester City and Liverpool also played one game less, with 73 and 72 points respectively, and the gap in the standings is still 1 point.
With eight games left for both teams, the theoretical highest point would be 97. However, Manchester City only needs to score 95 points to ensure the championship; Liverpool can only win the championship and get 96 points.
