Liverpool currently leads Manchester City by eight points ahead of their weekend match, with the potential to extend their lead to eleven. Historically, only three teams have overcome such a deficit to win the Premier League. Ex-Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy suggests that a loss for City would make their title defense extremely challenging. Despite Liverpool’s strong position, the unpredictability of the season remains, especially as City seeks their fifth consecutive title while Liverpool hopes for their second in the Premier League era.
