Manchester City will either maintain a lead solely based on goal differential, although Liverpool has a game in hand or grow an even lengthier lead by 2 or 3 points.
Manchester City fans are wishing for a Liverpool loss or draw, which would give their side the opportunity to regain their lead with a draw, at the very least. The Reds have played one less game, however, so a lead would not actually be as commanding as it initially may seem. City’s victory will prevent Liverpool from moving ahead, however, a Liverpool win and City loss or draw would delight the Anfield faithful, as Klopp’s men would reclaim their lead.
Chelsea is a conundrum in many ways, yet they possess enough talent to be a UCL team next season, thus there is major significance to the fourth spot in the table. UCL brings in a fairly large amount of revenue, which these clubs dearly want, it is a business after all. Therefore, any points in securing this slot are vital. Arsenal and United will not cease and gaining such points against such a significant opponent would add extra satisfaction to it.
This game is one that the entire EPL community will be focused on due to its entertainment value and implications. Therefore this one has the potential to be memorable.
