In a home draw with Liverpool, City scored an important point and continued to take the initiative in the title race. Statistics show that City's chances of winning the title are as high as 69%.
Before the game began, Guardiola denied that the battle was a life-and-death battle, "After this game, there are 7 games left, and there are 21 points to fight for." Today, no one is going to be a champion. ”
Of course, Neither Manchester City nor Liverpool can win the title in this round. However, the campaign has important implications, with legendary Keane saying, "If City wins, then the title is theirs." ”
Neville said, "I watched The Manchester City game and I think they will win the last 7 games. I think Liverpool need to win games and once they win, they will really attack the title. ”
With twice behind, Liverpool equalised twice, showing great courage. On the contrary, City missed many good opportunities, Sterling scored a goal and was whistled offside, and Mahrez missed a good opportunity in the last minute.
Despite this, after a draw with Liverpool, they continued to lead by one point, allowing City to continue to take the initiative. City's advantage is that the remaining 7 rounds of opponents are weaker and there are no top six teams. On the contrary, Liverpool will also play against manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur two strong teams, and it is also a tough battle against Everton's Merseyside derby.
In the 2018-19 season, the championship battle between the two teams also continued until the final round. However, City won all four Premier League games in their last 14 games and ended up laughing to the end. Liverpool won all nine rounds of the season and remained unbeaten in the last 17 rounds, losing by one point despite scoring 99 points.
If they beat Manchester City away, liverpool will overtake the Blue Moon and thus take the initiative in the title race. Scoring a point away from home puts Liverpool at a disadvantage in the title race, after all, there has never been a precedent in premier League history of reversing the title by 14 points behind the leaders.
Adam Bate, a reporter for Sky Sports, commented, "Guardiola and Klopp hugged together, and the game was fantastic. There is still suspense in the championship battle, everything has not been decided, and the game continues. ”
