Following Manchester City’s 4-0 thumping of Fulham on Saturday, Liverpool is now mathematically eliminated from contention for the Premier League title.
With the win, the defending champions now sit atop the standings with 85 points.
This implies that a league triumph will not be the culmination of Jurgen Klopp’s last season at Anfield.
With just two games remaining, Liverpool is seven points adrift and will not be able to overtake City, even if they win their final matches against Wolves and Aston Villa.
Due to City’s convincing victory, Arsenal will once again be under pressure to reply on Sunday at Old Trafford.
With one game remaining for the north London team, a victory over Manchester United will propel Mikel Arteta’s team back to the top of the table, leading by one point.
But City still has a chance to win the title because Guardiola’s team still has a match left against their rivals. The crucial encounter between City and Tottenham, Arsenal’s neighbors, will take place on Tuesday.
