Title battle "between Manchester City and Liverpool.. know its date"

Attention will be focused on the Etihad Stadium, which will be the scene of the summit match between leaders Manchester City and the defending champion and runner-up Liverpool, which is one point away from it, on Sunday (at 19:30 UAE time) in the thirty-second stage of the English Premier League.

After Liverpool was 14 points behind City in one of the league stages, it managed to reduce the difference to just one point thanks to 10 victories in a row.

The red team hopes to achieve a rare quartet, knowing that it began its quest by crowning the League Cup by defeating Chelsea on penalties in late February, and is also playing the English Cup semi-final against Manchester City in particular next week at Wembley Stadium, and has come a long way towards achieving The semi-finals of the Champions League, with a victorious return from the Portuguese stronghold of Benfica 3-1 in the first leg.

History stands by Manchester City because Liverpool has failed to beat the latter at home since 2015.

Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp realizes that his team cannot lose against City, but he also confirms that if his team is destined to win in Manchester, that does not mean that things have been decided. I decided with regard to the title and commented on this by saying, "If we succeed in beating Manchester City, which is very difficult, I don't think anyone will say 'It's settled', because of the quality of the opposing team."

"We will face the best team in the world right now, that is the reality, but we will do our best against it."

City coach Pep Guardiola stressed the difficulty of the confrontation, saying, "We will face Liverpool in the next match in the league. We know that they will win almost all the remaining matches, and we hope that the next match will not be (against us), but we will try to do the same."

"When May arrives and you're still in the title race, that means you've had a great season. Being here means we've worked a lot and we've done that every season."

In general, the remaining matches for Manchester City seem easier on paper than Liverpool, as Citizens only face one team among the top ten is West Ham in the remaining stages, while Liverpool meets with Manchester United, Tottenham and Wolverhampton.

- Continental conflict - and if the struggle for the title is raging, the competition for European positions is no less intense between the trio of Tottenham and Arsenal and, to a lesser extent, Manchester United and West Ham.

Tottenham climbed to fourth place last week with a crushing victory over Newcastle United 5-1 and remained in this position after the sudden and heavy loss of Arsenal, its neighbor in north London, against Crystal Palace by 3-0.

After a period of weightlessness that saw him lose 4 of 6 matches during last January and February, "Spurs", led by seasoned Italian coach Antonio Conte, succeeded in returning his team to the right track, especially in light of the great effectiveness of the attacking duo consisting of Harry Kane (12 goals) and the South Korean Heung Min Son (14), where the team scored 21 goals in the last 6 matches.

Tottenham are a guest of Aston Villa, whose level has declined somewhat after the surge of results following the positive shock caused by appointing Liverpool legend Steve Gerrard as their coach.

Tottenham are waiting for two difficult matches from now until the end of the league against Liverpool and Arsenal in particular, but their attacking power may nominate them to occupy fourth place and snatch the last card that qualifies for the Champions League next season.

Manchester United, in turn, is a guest of the injured Everton, who is in danger of actually relegating to the "Championship", especially after losing to a direct competitor at the bottom of the standings, Burnley 2-3 in the middle of the week in a postponed match.

For Manchester United, which has been achieving disappointing results in recent times, Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo returns to his ranks after he missed the last match against Leicester City last week due to his illness.

Arsenal host Brighton in a match in which the hosts seek to erase their loss against Palace.
