The Premier League title race has potentially its most important game of the season this weekend. League-leading Liverpool welcomes the reigning Premier League champions, Manchester City. Pep Guardiola’s side sits just one point behind Liverpool as these two sides enter a pivotal stretch of the season. This game at Anfield precedes a massive month of fixtures where these two clubs and Arsenal, the three title contenders, will face stiff tests. That starts this weekend.

For example, if Liverpool and Manchester City draw while Arsenal wins, the Gunners would go to the top. Arsenal would be level on points with Liverpool, but recent domination in the league has skyrocketed Arsenal’s goal differential.
The weekend’s action starts with a game involving Manchester United and Everton. Both sides are desperate for points to climb up the table. Even though they have different reasons to need a win, this game could be crucial for the relegation race and the battle for European qualification.
On that front, Tottenham’s game against Aston Villa could prove to be a deciding game for fourth place in the league. Even though five points separate Spurs from fourth-place Villa, Tottenham has a game in hand on Aston Villa. Therefore, this game in north London could close the gap to two points, thus giving Tottenham control of where it would go in the table.
